That May presser was a rerun of her disastrous Downing Street address the other week. She blamed Parliament for not approving the deal and said we’d have left the EU already if it wasn’t for them. Was invited to apologise for her own failings; naturally declined.
Bigger point: WA as it stands can’t be ratified, for simple reason there’ll never be enough converts. ERG will recoil in disgust at what PM’s agreed. DUP still loathe backstop. Remainers will push even harder for PV. And May can’t blackmail Labour with no-deal. She’s finished.
Because this really is the biggest point of all. As I’ve said for 2 years, no-deal cannot and will not happen. Parliament will never accept it and EU will never force it. That removes only stick May had to push through her deal. Without it, she and it are permanently defeated.
Which leaves us with a short-term and long-term option: a general election and second referendum. The latter is probable, the former all but inevitable.
