    Looks like a tough audience

    apparently no one from the EU is there, nor the Italian PM, just the british press & entourage she flew out there

    great example of what a huge waste of time & money brexit is!

    “Trade AND Security.”

    “No EEA, no FTA… something else.”

    Plenty of time to fill in the details later…

    FTA ruled out now because it would take too long, apparantly (who knew?), so we need to be more “imaginative”.

    Lots of difficulties and problems now being outlined. Nothing hinted at in terms of solutions yet… hold on, arbitration solution time…

    She keeps bleating on about a deep and special relationship. That’s what we currently have.

    …ah, no, just a reminder that it can’t include ECJ, no alternative arbitration solution suggested.

    Right, back to SECURITY…

    So, 2 year transition, and continuing to pay during that time. That’s it. Nothing more. Will still upset some.

    So we don’t want the ECJ and accept the UK courts aren’t enough…. So another set of courts and who are the judges going to be, and what happens when they declare her in contempt or rule against her?

    The idea of a transition is so blinding obvious that it almost needn’t be said.

    ah Britains future is bright…. yes with a country split down the middle looks really good, with regions that have been ignored for decades. etc.

    and as long as the EU do what they are told it will all be fine….

    Best question from Sky! Cuts through the waffle.
    No real answer.
    So not a FTA, and no EEA, and no hint about which the new relationship should be closer to.
    No movement.
    No clarity.
    No decision made on “our side” yet.

    Can we demand that the Europeans give us a Brexit deal which stipulates that we don’t ever have to see Theresa May or Boris Johnson ever again?

    Basically saying that politically I cant sell Norway or Canada option so the onus is on the EU to come up with an alternative.

    Shirley the onus is on the UK if were the ones that want brexit?

    Thinking, is May proposing to establish a “EEA” with one member and then invite the EU to join?

    **** it. Hard Brexit now. Even if society collapses into Mad Max/The Road style end of days, fighting for your life using a spear fashioned out of a dining room table leg has got to better than listening to this.

    You would think so wouldn’t you? But no. It’s “we’re leaving and YOU have to make it work in OUR best interest”.

    Chris Grayling is a ****.

    Yes. Yes, he is. Virtually everything Grayling has touched has gone wrong, the recent legal challenge to swingeing cuts during his tenure at the Justice department are the latest in a long catalogue of failure. If he were handed a broom, he’d grasp it by the wrong end.

    ‘Let’s think creatively’

    =

    ‘I don’t have a scooby what’s coming’

    She’s had 15 months to think creatively, but instead she’s fannied around with elections and meaningless waffle, and today is more of the same. Clueless, hopeless, incompetent buffoons.

    I missed the speech – can somebody summarise the substantive points she made?

    The Norway and Canadian models won’t work for us, can we have a bespoke deal, please? No rush, none at all.

    We’re actually going to play really nice on common security policy now.

    Can we have some “creative” ideas, please?
    *note: the combined intellect of the Conservative cabinet is incapable of moving the game forwards.

    No deal really won’t work for us.
    *note: Six months after triggering Article 50 without knowing what we actually wanted, we realise that we made a colossal mistake and we hope that you feel a bit sorry for us and continue with the existing arrangements for a while, apart from the bits we don’t like, even though it doesn’t make any sense.

    The damage it’s doing to the reputation of the Conservative party is immense. Every cloud and all that.

    When you think of it that is actually quite creative. “Right we’ve got a job to do. Instead let’s call a general election and destroy our own majority for no reason”. You wouldn’t have thought of that, would you?

    But……I don’t get it.

    How are we going to have an extra £350m a week for the NHS when we are going to have to pay £20bn over two years?

    I can’t put my finger on it, but something feels wrong here.

    And what about the unicorns?

    Over the last year I have thought, from time to time, that I might be able to shrug this off and become one of the “let’s just get on with it” tendency.

    But I can’t and I won’t. I have a seemingly bottomless well of contempt that I can delve into for the morons who landed us in this predicament.

    I’m sure, in this post-truth world, someone will have a crack.

    But remember, not everything on the internet (or indeed anywhere) is true.

    Jamby would probably have had a go, but he’s flounced.

    this road we’re kicking the can down….. how long is it actually?

    I always thought a large proportion of the leavers will have checked out before we actually leave; I’m beginning to think it won’t be an issue for me either – and I’m ‘only’ 48
