So, now she is off to Brussels for the next two days at the Brussels summit, with the other 27 EU heads of state. Then next week, if they are even allowed to vote, they will have a chance to approve a deal that has already lost twice, once by over 200 votes and the other time by over 150. If that fails again, as seems likely, then by everything else we are hearing the UK will be leaving the EU in nine days, without a deal.

Or, maybe they come up with a surprise late next week.

I've just seen a Tory MP parroting the same old guff about wanting a second referendum, or even revoking article 50. Theresa said she knows the public is sick of this, and she's right.

Macron in France is posturing about wanting to see some real movement from the British before he will agree an extension of article 50.

Theresa seems like an angry Grandma annoyed at the naughty boys in Parliament. Boy, this is just a total farce now. Gawd knows when it is going to end.

With any luck, a week from this coming Friday.

Bit disappointed, as when the news stated that the PM was going to address the nation, I at the very least expected us to declare war on France.

Hopefully we can now just get on with leaving whether it be on March 29th or in June.

Corbyn stormed out of the Brexit meeting at Number 10 like a petulant child because Chuka Umunna, one of the rebels who left the Labopur Party was at the meeting. It seems Mr Corbyn can't even deal with his feelings being hurt by Chuka Umunna never mind what he deemed a national emergency.

As for the Conservative MP that was Dominic Grieve, a loathsome creature, who represent South Buckinghamshire and has one os the safest Conservative seats in the country.

Jeremy Corbyn is just a sick joke. Leader in waiting........ give me a break. If this creature ends up as PM, all this with the EU and Brexit will seem like a golden period in British politics. We need a real leader to step up to the plate when we need them, and look at what we've got. Just a load of useless tossers.

The fallout from this mess must make them all fearful of facing the voters. But eventually, a General Election will come, and we can get rid of a shed load of these hopeless, pathetic scumbags once and for all. A lot of political careers are coming to an end when this is over. Hopefully, Corbyn's will be one of them. Surely now, the Labour party will do whatever has to be done to get rid of this petulant man.

Labour really needs to get rid of him. It would increase the appeal of the party if he wasn't leader.

Same thing on this side where I refuse to even consider voting Republican until Trump is gone.

I was surprised to see that Ed Miliband is still a MP. He was going on about something, but I didn't hear a thing he said as I was trying to remember why I recognized him. Then it came to me.

I didn't know he was still an MP..........wow. I assumed he'd left British politics like his brother did.

It's a shame he beat his brother David for the leadership of the Labour Party. David was much more electable, and maybe he could have beaten David Cameron, and then there would have never been a Brexit vote at all.

Little events can make big ripples down the line.
