Dominic Grieve and Anna Soubry are holding the UK to ransom and 17.4m Brits are sick of it
UK cannot negotiate with the EU without being able to walk away with no deal — that’s a fundamental rule whether buying a car or exiting a 45-year-old trading arrangement
WHO runs Britain? Theresa May? Or Dominic Grieve, Anna Soubry and other Brexit-wrecking Tory showboaters?
We’re delighted No10 refused to buckle to these diehard Remainers yesterday. Suck it up, Ms Soubry.
But the crunch is now coming.
The Government cannot negotiate with the EU without being able to walk away with no deal. That’s a fundamental rule whether you’re buying a car or exiting a 45-year-old trading arrangement.
Grieve and Soubry know that full well. They are lawyers. Their attempt to make it impossible is a ploy to keep us in a customs union, tied to the Single Market, and negate or block Brexit.
Now they must decide whether doing Brussels’ dirty work, as they plainly are, trumps the survival of their own party. This current shambles, this paralysis, cannot go on. Britain is sick of it.
Our PM, rightly attempting to fulfil the democratic mandate of the 17.4million majority (namely a Brexit that actually involves leaving), is being held to ransom.
She has faced the Remainers down. Next week they have a massive decision. To let Mrs May do her duty...
Or potentially destroy her, along with her Government and their own jobs, while giving Corbyn’s crazies a chance to seize power.
Migrants sense
BRITAIN needs a sensible policy of controlled immigration, not some blinkered drive to hit an arbitrary limit at all costs.
So we welcome Home Secretary Sajid Javid’s new approach.
And foreign, non-graduate entrepreneurs with a promising start-up idea will get a visa to launch it here.
That is exactly what taking back control of our borders should look like post-Brexit: welcoming in the brightest, while stemming the flow of the less skilled. That will benefit our economy and allow our communities to cope.
It is far from the “racism” Leavers are accused of. It is simply common sense.
Mail and stale
ROBOTS, they say, will take all our jobs. But grey, unthinking automatons already run the Royal Mail.
Refusing to print Brexit stamps was bad enough. There’s no excuse to bar posties from flying England flags from their vans during the World Cup.
“Flags are a danger to the driver and other road users” is laughable. So is the claim they could threaten the Royal Mail’s ability “to provide services”.
What goes through these jobsworths’ minds as they issue their joyless edicts?
A question for Royal Mail’s Brexit-hating Canadian boss Moya Greene — recently handed a Damehood for something or other.
