Desperation, denial, or does he just not get it?
Can you imagine if the EU tried to renegotiate this deal on one narrow point, without offering any concessions in return? There’d be absolute outrage. But this big unwieldy behemoth is able get itself aligned behind one position, while we exploit our supposed agility by running repeatedly into well signposted traps of our own design. And still we’re blaming them.
The vote next week will be pivotal in what happens next.
Assuming that May's deal is voted down and this still looks most likely, then we are looking at either no deal or a delay, with delay looking most likely.
Any cracks in either of the main parties could properly fracture and it's just possible that Corbyn could get his chance in a GE.
Expect some fur to fly.
