I assume you are not seriously suggesting that TM hasn't tried her absolute best to get an agreement with the EU? Surely, you are not agreeing with that?

TM was a Remainer, but she has made it very clear that she will implement the will of the electorate. As for whether she's played it wrong, maybe you should sit back and see what happens.

We are broadly on the same page, Seth, but really you need to put yourself in Theresa May's shoes, but in a masculine sort of way

If she were to have to crash out of the EU without a deal, she would be criticised by Remainers for not having tried hard enough had she not been as accommodating as possible.

She is positioning herself for a win-win scenario. If we have to put up with a no deal, she will get the backing of the Brexiteers and she will be able to claim (rightly) that she tried her best to get an accommodation with the EU.

If she does get a deal that doesn't breach our red lines, she will be able to claim that her tactics have paid off.

What else could you possibly expect, apart from total capitulation to the EU?

I assure you, I do not speak claptrap, as you will start to appreciate as events unfold.
