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".

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
