Theresa May has moved beyond dishonesty to despotism

TCW
...The law she is now evading is the EU Withdrawal Act of June 2018. It is an act of many parts, but more on those later. One part effectively ratifies the international commitment that May triggered in March 2017 by petitioning to leave the EU under Article 50 of the EU constitution (the Treaty on European Union). Since Article 50 provides for two years between petition and separation, Britain is scheduled to leave the EU on 29 March at midnight Brussels time (2300 hours British time). The EU Withdrawal Act effectively ratifies that timing.      ........................
May might insist that urgency trumps legislation; the Remainer-dominated Parliament might act executively for itself; the EU has normalised the enforcement of only convenient interpretations.
However, the Remainers’ extra-constitutionality serves Brexiteers too. If Remainers don’t need to follow the law for Brexit on 29 March, then Brexiteers can repudiate May’s stupid and unratified agreements with the EU.
The EU could sue Britain in the EU’s own court for a breach of international agreement, but that would just confirm the case for Britain to regain its national sovereignty – and the best way to do that is to confirm the EU Withdrawal Act’s repeal of EU jurisdiction."
