BATTLE FOR BREXIT: Today should have been historic, but it’s shambolic

Express
The stalemate at Westminster represents an appalling betrayal of the British people. In the EU referendum of June 23, 2016 – 1009 day ago – after the biggest democratic exercise in our history, the electorate sent a simple instruction to our rulers.

But they have disgracefully failed to act on that mandate. Our country is no nearer to leaving now than it was in 2016. 
Almost three years have been wasted in enfeebled negotiations, procedural games and continual procrastination. 
Just think of the outrage if the roles had been reversed. Imagine if the Remain campaign had won the referendum, then Parliament had decided to ignore the verdict and gone ahead with our withdrawal from the EU. 
Such a scenario might seem absurd, but it is exactly what the establishment is now doing with Brexit. ....
But the biggest culprits of all are the Remainers, who have simply refused to accept the outcome of the 2016 referendum. 
In their arrogant disdain for the will of the people, they are the prime architects of the present fiasco."

How did we end up in this Brexit mess? Two words – Theresa May

Express
It is hard, nay impossible, to deny we are witnessing the last days of the worst premiership in living memory, perhaps for centuries   ...

Mrs May brought all her disasters on herself – and on us.
There was no reason for the snap election, but once it was called there was no need for the appalling manifesto or catastrophic campaign.
Having frittered away a clear poll lead and secured a hung parliament, the lady turned her zero talents to negotiating our people-mandated Brexit.
She had access to brilliant negotiators but rebuffed them all. She appointed David Davis and Dominic Raab as Brexit ministers, then undermined them until they had no choice but to resign. Then she negotiated herself, aided and manipulated by her personal guru, the bureaucrat Olly Robbins. ....
There was nothing she touched that did not develop into a self-inflicted disaster.  ......
The two words "No Deal" have been successfully demonised by the civil service (100 percent), the MPs (70 percent) and the media (50 percent).
You might think it was a thermonuclear bomb over the Home Counties.
It is only the switching from one framework of trading rules (EU) to the global alternative World trade Organisation (WTO) rules.
With preparation that would take a week of dislocation.
As not one hour was spent on preparation over two years, it will take most of the summer. But once the soul-destroying chaos is gone, our ever-ingenious traders will get the job done and get on with our new journey to prosperity under our own flag and laws. "

The PM has gone totally rogue simply in order to secure her legacy

 Cllr Molly Giles
"In simple terms the PM has gone totally rogue simply in order to secure her legacy and her deal which is so unpopular with her own party, her own voter and those who voted to Leave. She must be removed forthwith. Cabinet, Ministers and MPs must act."

Treacherous Theresa May has surrendered our freedom… and her honour

The Sun
She has wriggled. She has lied. She has concealed and dithered and caved. She is a freaking disaster.
The tragedy is that it need not have been like this.
Even on Tuesday afternoon, while she was having that ­seven-hour meeting with her Cabinet, she could have saved herself and our country.  .......
And yet No Deal could have been brilliant.
It could have secured us our independence from a European Union that now is sucking us back into its prison.
No Deal would have served our children’s interests because we would not have had to pay £39billion to Europe and because we would have been able to forge our own way in the world.
The ensuing instability might only have lasted a few weeks, if that.
Mrs May would not consider it. She collapsed like over- watered jelly, listening to dodgy Whitehall chief Sir Mark Sedwill and his (leaked) alarmist tales about what No Deal might do to our economy....Worst of all has been our parliament, where Remainer MPs and peers and a blatantly biased Speaker have actively sought to block the ­referendum verdict of 17.4million voters — a verdict they had repeatedly promised to respect. ......"
