Recently, Grumpy wrote a post which contained mostly quotes from Theresa May’s Lancaster House speech, clearly setting our her goals for Brexit. (See  Lancaster House tests )

The fact is, that no matter which way it is spun, whatever obfuscations are used, or however impassioned the speeches about ‘no other choice’ are, May has abjectly failed to deliver every goal she so clearly set out in that speech.

• “take back control of our laws and bring an end to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in Britain” –  FAILED
• “to strike the best trade deals around the world” (meaning not being in a customs union – her words) – FAILED
• “protecting the common resources of our islands” (meaning being on control of our fishing waters – her words)  – FAILED
• “free to establish our own tariff schedules at the World Trade Organisation” – FAILED
• “not mean that we will seek some form of unlimited transitional status, in which we find ourselves stuck forever in some kind of permanent political purgatory” (meaning having a time limit in the backstop – her words) – FAILED
• “want us to have reached an agreement about our future partnership by the time the two-year Article Fifty process has concluded”  – make a mark on your calendar WILL FAIL.

The “national interest” threat should not cause leave MP’s to capitulate –  this agreement should be rejected.
