The EU referendum was a remain - leave choice only. There's no such thing as a soft brexit, any more than there would have been a soft remain had remain won. Yes, May's 'deal' was a bad, remain 'deal' and BoJo had to try and work with it. It's inadequacies were always going to come back and bite him in the ass.

Note how the Sunday versions of the daily papers took a different stance to each other - hedging their bets so they could claim to be on the winning side, whatever the result - just like the Tories who supported and funded both the Leave and Remain campaigns. There was only one party that only supported Leave - UKIP.

Don't worry Dan, we'll make sure Tories get the credit for keeping the UK in the EU - in the single market, in the customs union, in the ECJ, in freedom of movement so Tory donors keep their cheap labour via continued unsustainable mass migration, out of what were our own territorial waters, and keep paying the EU-SSR £tens of billions - Vote Leave must be very proud of the pro-EU Tory party.

This 'article' is possibly the worst pile of sour grapes junk ever written. Even Ken Clarke recognises the leading role that Farage played in getting a referendum and winning it. No one talks about the Farage 'breaking point' poster, but they haven't shut up about Vote Leave's big red bus and £350 million for the NHS. I suggest Hannan reads the Bad Boys of Brexit in order to get Arran Banks's account of all that went on. Vote Leave were basically a Tory half in, half out of the EU outfit that wanted to thwart the UK fully leaving the EU - Leave.EU being the only fully out organisation. O'Flynn, Evans and Carswell were disloyal to UKIP/Farage low-life. Opinion polls said that Remain would win, so why would anyone believe a poll about the 'Breaking Point' poster? The only reason that the referendum result was closer than it should perhaps have been was the shameless exploitation of the murder of Jo Cox by Remainiacs. There's still only ONE PARTY committed to the UK leaving the EU - UKIP - Theresa Maybe is clearly taking the UK out in name only, and is likely to pay silly some of money for a divorce bill that isn't in Article 50 and keep us under the ECJ. Banks didn't need to stand in Clacton because traitor Carswell stepped down. Banks was never promoting himself - he put £millions into campaigning to Leave the EU, none of which was anything to do with Russia. To suggest Farage, who spent much of the past 25 years ploughing a lone furrow against the EU only wanted to lead, not win, is totally absurd.

Continuing talks beyond March 2019 is NOT an option unless the Conservative Party wants to be out of office - if the EU agree to extending talks beyond the 2 year deadline, then the UK CANNOT leave the EU without a majority of EU states voting in favour - that is the Article 50 trap to keep the UK in the EU forever. Please remember that the Leave won the referendum Vote - to Leave the EU - the options were IN or OUT, not a little bit Out. The Conservative Party will rightly get the blame if the UK doesn't leave the EU and Corbyn will be PM. Is that what you all want?

Remember also that the default option is No Deal if no agreement can be reached within the 2 years. Parliament has already approved the Article 50 process as part of the Lisbon Treaty that UK voters didn't get to vote on.

Well, we all believe that climate changes, but we don't need any minister that treats it as a religious belief. I doubt she understands or knows anything about science or climate science having a degree in History. Climate change is construed as man-made climate change. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, adding CO2 to the atmosphere would be expected to cause some warming (all things being equal, which they are not), but anything more is unverifiable computer modelled speculation, which is no use for sensible, affordable policies. It's easy to make vague statements like "keep the lights on and carbon emissions down, whilst saving consumers money on their energy bills,” but having the means and policies to do that against a background of being a true believer in unfounded, highly politicised climate alarmism is where it all falls apart. What we really need is a minister who says he or she will keep the lights on regardless.

What about Tamworth? Surely an interesting one - taken by Pincher with a 6000 majority in 2010, but previously held by Labour with a 6000 majority. In 2010 UKIP lost their deposit with less than 5% of the vote, but that's very unlikely to happen this time.

The economy depends on drivers - Peter Hitchin is lucky that he can write crap about cars and drivers whilst benefiting from the driver dependent economy like everyone else.

Not a fan of quangos myself, but how are the 'elected' people in charge of our borders getting on?
