Chequers Plan, Project Fear 2 – May Must Go

Well, that “told you so” moment I had a feeling was gonna happen has finally happened.

Just as I had feelings that turned out pretty accurate that Team Brexit would win the referendum and that Donald Trump would become President as early as when he made the first whisperings of running when it was clear Romney would lose to Obama – I also had feelings that Theresa May would make a pretty lame leader of the Conservative party as a last minute bodge after Mr & Mrs Gove took Boris out of the contest.

With the arrival of the Chequers fake-Brexit plan, and the more recent arrival of “Project Fear 2.0”, she’s going down faster than Wile E. Coyote falling off the edge of a cliff.

The Chequers plan has gone down so badly with Grassroots members that local party bosses are seeing 75-90%+ of members giving it the finger, resigning membership, or can no longer be arsed to campaign for the party due to lack of things to be able to offer that they agree with. Even the chairman of her own local party is against it.

Conservative Party poll ratings have also taken a hit.

It ain’t doing much for our hopes of getting great trade deals either.

People on the Conservative side are calling for her to go even more than the Corbynista lot usually do – Time to pull the plug, and bring in either Boris Johnson or Jacob Rees-Mogg, or certainly at least Boris Johnson as Prime Minister, Jacob Rees-Mogg as Chancellor, and also get Priti Patel back in Cabinet somewhere (Deputy PM or Foreign Secretary, maybe?).

The deal agreed at #Chequers puts Britain on the path of a soft Brexit. That’s not what the @Conservatives promised at the election.

“If David Davis’s resignation wounds May’s dreadful, anti-democratic Chequers deal, that will be a good thing. But why aren’t other Tory Brexiteers resigning too? Boris? Gove? Their capitulation to May’s capitulation is a disgrace”, says Brendan O’Neill. https://t.co/SKrytVUKoZ

So Britain can survive, the WWI, WWII & the Cold War, but there will be Armageddon if we leave the EU without a deal. Could someone explain why?

Even if the Chequers Plan fails, the defence sellout is still on. Theresa May has ensured that the pointless defence policy giveaway is falsely pushed as an industrial and military benefit for the UK. It’s also lined up for a separate defence and security treaty in 2019. pic.twitter.com/Nof6YeWoYA

Brexit Thought For The Day

The EU wants to blockade Britain, stop our planes flying, starve us of food and medicine, jam up up our ports as well as damage our security, economy and trade.

No one in their right mind would want to be part of such an evil regime, would they? pic.twitter.com/JfccM3jzSI

I hope Conservative activists and MPs are listening. You cannot sell Chequers as anything other than complete capitulation to the EU. Better to go back to a comprehensive FTA. https://t.co/oN7PbgpIa2

“Reserve parachute” is too little, too late. Trade under WTO rules now preferred option with #EU27. Trade with rest of world mainly under WTO rules, growing much quicker than trade with EU. The norm. https://t.co/gDfP49xETe
