It is not my fault !.
Recently I wrote, albeit in a different context, that I am shocked, stunned and in a state of bewildered disbelief. I watched and heard it and yet it is still almost unbelievable that she actually said it.The Prime Minister, Theresa May seeking to absolve herself from any blame whatsoever for the chaos, confusion and deadlock in the continuing debates on the "meaningful vote", now resoundingly defeated on two separate occasions in the commons. and which she now intends to table for a third time early next week, notwithstanding that Speaker John Burcow, has ruled that no motion may be tabled three times without substantial changes in wording or content.The only change for the third attempt is a new Brexit date of 30th June which the Prime Minister is today seeking to agreement for from the EU, but even now seems doomed as the EU has already stated that 22nd May should be the latest date, so as to avoid any risks or complications surrounding the European elections.
Against this background, Prime Minister May again demonstrates her arrogance and contempt for the Parliamentary reality, with a live broadcast to appeal directly to the British people, blaming others for a situation explicitly resulting from her own incompetence and self importance. Moreover, she has the outrageous audacity to blame MP's for this situation, not just opposition MP's but all 650 of them, including her own conservative members. Earlier in the day during another commons debate on this subject, Dominic Grieve MP, Barrister and QC the Conservative member for Beaconsfield stated "‘I have never felt more ashamed to be a member of the Conservative Party or to be asked to lend her support. She spent most of her time castigating the House for its misconduct. At no stage did she pause to consider whether it is, in fact, the way she is leading this Government that might be contributing to the situation."
He summed up the mood of many Tory MP's some time before Prime Minister May made her ill considered comments in the live television broadcast. The Prime Minister has succeed at the same time, in both alienating and insulting members of Parliament who at the end of the day are the very people she will need to pass her third iteration of the "meaningful vote", should the Speaker actually allow it to be tabled. MP.s on all sides of the House and both sides of the argument are furious with her for her contempt for them and the Parliamentary process and seem unlikely to support her next week no mater what the wording of the "Meaningful Vote version 3" actually says.

She has only herself to blame. She is condemned from her own lips by conceit, arrogance and ineptitude. compounded by the unshaken belief that she is always right, never wrong. She is contemning herself to political oblivion and taking her splintered party with her. She is also condemning this country to an uncertain and dangerous future.
