It's not looking good for May. Tonight she has a dinner with the other EU members where she is supposed to give an update to her last position, which went down like a cup of cold sick.
She has no update to give.
She insists that the UK will not allow Northern Ireland be part of the Customs Union and Single Market when the rest of the UK is leaving it. This is because her hands are tied by the DUP. Yet she could take Labour's position of remaining in the Customs Union (which would render the UK a vassal state). In fact she has offered this, but only on a temporary basis, which is simply not good enough as a backstop for the EU.
It's not like the EU have changed in their position over the past 2 years. They quite rightly are protecting the principles of the Customs Union and Single Market. Yet again May wants more than her fair share of cake. It's just embarrassing. This country used to be a proud nation. Think 2012. So proud.
And on top of all this I have a bout of gout. Making me feel nauseous and sick. Cannot walk, cannot eat, cannot sleep.
