Hard right has 3 ways to get their kamikaze Brexit
Plan A is use May as a puppet. Plan B is replace her. Plan C is cut a deal, then rip it up. All are desperate but we mustn’t be complacent.

Tory MPs, Soubry and Soames, have both called for a national unity government. If we weren’t in a mess, it would be crazy idea. But we are.

Rees-Mogg Telegraphs impotence, while BoJo loses mojo
May’s speech contains plans to turn us into vassals. Yet Brexit ayatollah says those who complain are nitpicking.
May’s latest transition flip-flops show how bad Brexit is
U-turn on EU citizens, EU to stop our budget rebate and vague end date all point to lengthy, expensive transition. How’s that a good Brexit?
