So who will finally stand atop the dung heap?
You've hit that nail, Maggy. Theresa May keeps getting it in the neck for all her efforts and yet no-one else would have wanted this job. Faced with a Remainer Parliament, what deal was she supposed to come up with? People keep saying she's negotiated a bad deal, but this was the only one we were going to get. The only alternative to it that delivers on the referendum is no deal, which is a much better scenario than many think it is.

None of the other options that have been discussed achieve that. For each one of those other options, ask yourself - does it extract us from free movement? Do we still have control of our own laws? Are we free to forge new trade deals with other countries?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, then that is not what the people thought they were voting for.

So it's either TM's deal, no deal, or unacceptable betrayal that will never be forgotten or forgiven.

True, but that doesn't address my point.
