So there we have it; the proposed Withdrawal Agreement has been delivered and is now being debated in Parliament. And it is not looking good for Theresa May. As it stands she will not manage to get this "meaningful vote" passed next week, despite the enormous push she has given to it.
The deal is flawed. The backstop is one thing, but equally the fact that we will be "rule takers" and not "rule makers". This makes me chuckle. If we wanted to leave the EU why did we want to be rule makers anyway. People have just not thought this through. And this is what gives me the believe that when it comes to the crunch we will not be leaving the EU. Sooner or later common sense will prevail and the impossible conundrum will be finally exposed for what it is.
So the decision now is between May's deal, no deal or no Brexit. Well both May's deal and no deal are not really going to prevail. The devastation that would occur throughout this country in the event of a no deal isn't worth thinking about. I for one would suffer from this scenario, unable to have access to my medical supplies.
This whole sorry story just needs to end. It is so depressing to think where we have gone as a country, where removing freedom of movement "once and for all" is seen as a "win". The only person winning would be Theresa May who, having failed to control immigration whilst Home Secretary, when she could have done under EU rules, now is attempting to finish the job.
It makes me so mad that we are considering throwing away everything that we have built over the last 45 years. But like I say I am still quietly confident that common sense will prevail in the end.
Time will tell, next Tuesday when the vote goes through the House of Commons, I am hoping about anything that it will fail. Then the Grieve Amendment will mean that Parliament can attempt to wrestle control from the incompetent hands of the government and put an end to any chance of a no-Brexit. Then it can start to pick up the pieces of this unholy mess.
