"The Government pretended?" Really, it isn't the school playground.

Quote:
The opposition said that this was because the Government didn't have a strategy and now we know that they were correct.
No they weren't.

I had genuinely hoped that the Government did have a plan despite all appearances to the contrary. Nissan looked like making up policy on the hoof...which is likely it was.
No it wasn't.

I wonder if May will delay A50 even further, thereby invoking condemnation all round but giving herself more time to get a strategy in place.
A limelight seeking ex-model and a hair dresser are responsible for possibly delaying A50.

Quote:
Or will she will go for short-term political expediency and invoke Article 50 and hope the Government can make up its mind before March. Going to the negotiating tables without a strategy is surely a recipe for disaster?
No government would do that.

It's a tough call. Personally, she can always do a Cameron and resign if she doesn't get agreement from her colleagues but who's to say they don't want this to happen?
I can't see her resigning.

Update. Maybe The Times is wrong. The Government is saying that the memo is pitch document and not one it commissioned. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37983948
It has been wonderful observing the penny slowly and painfully dropping. Keeping one's gob shut might have been the better choice though .
