Theresa May to back down on backstop demands in Brexit deal...

Her Majesty commands the Army

What about the NAAFI?

Only because she's backed by the army. And they're all out on their second jobs so they can earn enough to bring their families over.

Moggy already floated the idea -

May should close parliament if necessary to stop bill blocking no deal Brexit, says Rees-Mogg – as it happened | Politics | The Guardian

Spuddy stands ready for a military takeover of parliament's catering service, to lay them low with food poisoning.

Can't she just declare a national emergency and push it through without parliament? After all, she is the Prime Minister and she can do what she likes...

...and tell EU the UK doesn't want to renegotiate

Eh? I thought she backed the Brady amendment, a couple of weeks ago, to replace the backstop?

No, that can't be right. That would mean May doing a you-turn, she would never do that would she?

Maybe she'll finally twigged that whatever she gets off the EU the ERG will never support her and will always, at the last moment, pull the rug from under her.

The ERG is a party within a party. They need to be kicked out of the Tories and go join Farage before there is no Tory party.

Now that would be entertaining.

[WTFH]

Yes, and she can probably get away with doing that for another 2 weeks but then she may find time has run out for her. I can't see Parliament allowing this stalemate to carry on into March.

She is running down the clock by pretending she is busy doing something about it
