Did anybody elect the MI6 and defence chiefs? Unelected bureaucrats (and an unelected Lord, at that!) telling our elected representatives what to do. Traitors and saboteurs.

We've not had a military coup before have we?

It's quite an achievement, securing a deal which everyone else thinks is crap, for varying reasons. This will probably go down in history as Mays "Neville Chamberlain" moment.

It is a crap deal. But since it's the best deal possible, perhaps history will be kind to her.
