I actually wondered if we'd staged it to ensure no deal or a way of get more concessions. I couldn't quite believe Mrs May and Arlene weren't singing from the same hymn sheet. It's Machiavellian genius if she did, the grossest of incompetence if she didn't.
Several other things occurred to me, yesterday we were told that if no deal was achieved by today (now yesterday
) the there would be no opportunity to discuss it again until March, now all of a sudden we can do it next week after all, evidence if it were needed that they are as desperate for a deal as we are.
If we weren't setting the whole thing up to fail why did we agree to every demand, I think we set out our position all wrong at the start, focussing on anything but a trade deal as a failure was really starting of with one hand tied behind our backs, we should have played our hand as If we were leaving with no deal and anything on top was a bonus.
I could have it completely wrong, it's just the way it looks to me.
