People are feeling sorry for the Prime Minister because of the
pressure she is under from the warring factions of the
Conservative party - which is proof of a broken government,
will say tomorrow.
Addressing the Liberal Democrats’ annual conference in Brighton,
party Leader will argue that should “shock us all” by
displaying true leadership and backing a People’s Vote on the
final Brexit deal to get the country out of the shambles of
leaving the EV. He will also take aim at Brexit fundamentalists
who are willing to force the country into an economic mess for
the “erotic spasm” of leaving the EU.
is expected to say:
“For the ‘True Believers’ – the fundamentalists – the costs of
Brexit have always been irrelevant.
“Years of economic pain justified by the erotic spasm of leaving
the European Union.
“Economic pain felt – of course – not by them by those least able
to afford it.
“And the latest piece of nastiness from – calling into question the
right of Europeans to stay in Britain and of Britons to stay in
Europe: creating unnecessary worry and insecurity for millions.
[...]
“The public don’t mind what these people dream about behind
closed doors – so long as their dreams don’t become nightmares
for the rest of us. It really beggars belief that the army and
the police are now being asked to prepare for riots in the
chaotic aftermath of a botched Brexit.
“And billions – billions – of taxpayers’ money spent preparing
for disaster.
[...]
“I would go so far as to say that some of us are starting to feel
sorry for the Prime Minister.
“It seems that even the European Leaders are moved to pity. It is
obvious why.
“She is dutifully delivering a policy she doesn’t really believe
in; failing in negotiations; losing public support; and all to
appease a dwindling group of angry people in her party who will
denounce her as a traitor, whatever she comes up with.
“But when we feel sorry for the country’s Prime Minister,
something is seriously wrong.
“Our sympathy can only extend so far, while she puts the
interests of the country second to the whims of the extremists in
her party.
“Deep down, the Prime Minister knows Brexit is a bad idea.
“A bad idea whose time has gone.
“Even now, could shock us all, by
displaying true leadership.
“She could admit that the Brexit project has gone badly wrong…
“...by conceding that the deal – any deal, or no deal – that she
will bring back from Brussels is not going to be better for
Britain than remaining in the European Union.
“Instead of kowtowing to her enemies in the Conservative Party,
she could lead her party and the country by opening her mind to a
‘People’s Vote’ on the final deal.”
