It is increasingly clear that the PM is not competent to handle Brexit given months of repeated errors dating back at least to Chequers, where she found the exact point that was unacceptable both to her own party and the EU... 1/
Chequers was followed by the attempt to divide EU countries from the Commission culminating in the Salzburg humiliation, then there was the deal that wasn't, the deal that was being oversold, the postponed vote, the lost vote ignored... [cont] 2/
The failure to promote any compromise after the lost vote, the sudden support for Brady that horrified the EU, now the failure to get a routine vote through Parliament. Is there anyone outside the PM who believes she can get the deal she claims she is now seeking? 3/
And meanwhile we hear daily of businesses leaving the country, delaying investment, potential shortages, emergency boat contracts that have to be cancelled. Chris Grayling is not the most incompetent member of this Government though 4/
It is quite clear that we are not actually prepared for a deal or no deal. In a deal we'll have to negotiate the current and future, not prepared. In no deal, keep business going, not remotely prepared from what I hear from those at the front line 5/
Then we have Ministers openly displaying contempt for the PM. In any other period even two of these mishaps would have led to demands for change, advisers changing, ministers changing. Instead, nothing. Same old bunker, same people 6/
It is not all the fault of the EU, the DUP or the ERG for being beastly, or Labour for being useless. Good Prime Ministers deal with these sorts of things, this PM cannot, she is already the worst PM in history, comfortably, with no need for argument 7/
It will be calamity and unpredictability on Brexit until the end of March with this PM. Potentially longer. As this @garyyounge column says this morning, we need more time, but not with this PM, that would be pointless 8/
Nobody can doubt that this PM is as dogged as her cricketing hero Geoff Boycott was. But his colleagues eventually had to run him out to save the team. It is now down to Conservative MPs to do the same, or face the deepening chaos if they won't 9/ end espncricinfo.com/magazine/conte…
