Historic Defeat
I thought the government shutdown here was ridiculous, but then I followed today’s events concerning Brexit intently. My oh my, what an absolute shambles. I’m going to assume that Theresa May will survive the vote of no confidence – although if she had an ounce of integrity she should have resigned immediately after that overwhelming rejection of the deal. But what next? Is there a different Brexit plan on the table? I doubt it – which means the hard exit at the end of March. Which would be a disaster. I guess they could ask the EU for more time to negotiate a new deal – but then what the hell have they been negotiating about for the last 2 years? Then you have the options of another referendum, or even a general election. So much uncertainty – talk about digging a hole for yourself. It’s times like this when Britain needs and is sorely lacking a strong leader – instead you have a weak leader, and an even weaker opposition leader. Tragic.
