PM in complete denial losing her grip on power and on reality.

Loosing her grip on power.
The Prime Minister Theresa May, is now in complete denial of the reality in which she finds herself. In much the same way as a child threatens to take its ball and go home, the Prime Minister again writes to all MP's, threatening that the THIRD "Meaningful Vote", may not be put before the commons next week unless there is substantial support from MP's to pass it. In order to reinforce this threat, the Prime Minister  repeats her 4 points from the meeting with the other EU leaders in Brussels.
1. We can revoke Article 50 - but that would be to betray the result of the referendum.2. We can leave with no deal on 12 April - but the House has previously said this is not something it will support.3. If it appears that there is not sufficient support to bring the deal back next week, or the House rejects it again, we can ask for another extension before 12 April - but that will involve holding European Parliament elections.4. If it appears that there is sufficient support and the Speaker permits it, we can bring the deal back next week and if it is approved we can leave on 22 May. She closes by saying, "I hope we can all agree that we are now at the moment of decision. If you would like to speak to me over the coming days as Parliament prepares to take momentous decisions, please contact my office."

She clearly has not heard, or perhaps more accurately chooses to ignore, the now almost constant barrage of criticism and calls from her own benches for her to stand down and the daily stream of judgements from what has historically been a friendly press. Today's papers are perhaps the most hostile so far.  

Authority in tatters, as power leeches from Theresa May.  screams the Financial Times
MP's call for May to "fall on her sword". says the Guardian.
Mays last stand says the Express.
PM loosing her grip on power. From the Independent.
May gambles with Vote on customs union from the usually supportive Telegraph and  Pressure grows on Theresa May to quit must have been uncomfortable reading in the Times over breakfast in number 10 this morning.
We have been hearing it for many months, from the flawed decision to call a general election through a disastrous Conservative Party Conference and numerous poor performances at PMQ's, and now culminating in shuttling back and forth between Brussels and Downing Street,and blaming 650 MP's for her own lack of progress. We have heard it all before, but surely this cannot go on for much longer. As one conservative MP put it, "She will be gone in three weeks".

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-  A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
