“..one minister put it of May: “No fucking plan, nothing.” “One day there will be a public inquiry,” another member of the government observed, “and she will be judged to have been unfit for office.”

Every word a gem from ⁦@MarinaHyde⁩ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

2/. ...”Still, back to the PM’s speech, which she really ought to have delivered in a yellow vest. If you’re keeping track of the various lunacies, please note that parliamentary sovereignty is no longer the glorious destination of Brexit but its evil enemy.”

“Yet her national address suggested that for all her well-established limitations, her thermonuclear dullness..May is ..an extremely dangerous individual whose priorities are now so far out of whack, she shouldn’t be anywhere near the controls of this particular automobile”

4/ “It was so ghastly that it contrived to unite entrenched enemies Mark Francois and Phillip Lee, who appeared this morning on Sky News. “You don’t persuade people by insulting them,” observed Francois, the ERG vice-chair.

5/ “A little late for Mark to learn this lesson about negotiation, but he is merely a verruca on the footnote to this moment in history. “

It is not simply the PM behaving in this historically irresponsible way but her advisers too. The whole of the inner station is rotten.”

6/. “Whilst May has to be up at or near the top as the worst PM .. you (wouldn’t) theoretically rule out both records being smashed by Jeremy Corbyn, whose Brexit strategy, even at the hour of peril, amounts to looking present but not involved.

7/ “The Labour leader’s decision to leave a cross-party crisis meeting because Chuka Umunna was there confirmed him as a small and peevish man, who wouldn’t have what it takes if the chips were down.”

8/. “On an administrative note, though, anyone wanting to keep Corbyn in a meeting room next week should have an emotional support terrorist on standby to help him through the process....” (Ouch)

9/ ....”It was all there, from the contempt for parliamentary democracy to the mob-inciting tropes to her willingness to take terrible decisions out of self-interest or profoundly misguided factionalism.

10/. “If May sees through what she implied, then all the hideously unwarranted insults thrown at others over the past two years – traitor, saboteur, enemy of the people – should legitimately be levelled at her.”

Returning to the 1st tweet where a minister refers to the certainty of a Public Inquiry, one wonders why they are remaining in this Government rather than distancing themselves from it super fast and far.

It certainly isn’t, in any discernible way, to save the country.
