Before the speech, Sam Coates of The Times tweeted:

Quote:
Three options for Theresa May this pm

1. Say she’s suspending negotiations because she’s run out of road to force EU rethink

2. Suddenly change position & say shes not going to sign up to the NI backstop and ramp up no deal planning

3. Ramp up linguistically but w/o substance

Obviously, she went for number three.

Reading the rest of Sam's tweets. it appears that May could have blundered yesterday by 1) reading out a document to tired people who had already read it 2) dismissed an EU creative solution to the island of Ireland issue that had taken days of work withourt reading it.
