In the meantime, the right wing populist parties unite behind Silvini to "win and change the rules of Europe", ahead of the EU elections.

. . . we've been lied to and sold down the river. The Brexit Party is now our only hope.

The lies were perpetrated by the clowns like David Davis & Boris Johnson who said that trade deals on WTO terms would be all set-up on time, withdrawal would be easy, blah blah.

As for the "Brexit Party" - you cannot be serious.

I think May is only consulting Corbyn so she has someone to blame. Whatever he suggests and she agrees to change is going to be the reason for any failure.
She can't be trusted and won't except anything she does is wrong.

I think you'll find a great many others have noted BoJo's comedic propensities.

Ah! The bitter taste of empty Brexit promises! Holy Christ - even Baldric had a plan!

8th April 2019.

Dear Sir Graham,

Enough is enough! If she goes by Wednesday, we can Leave on Friday.

I am writing to you in a personal capacity, to express my sincere belief that Theresa May should now resign as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. If she will not do this, then I must ask that you and your colleagues on the Executive of the 1922 Committee establish an informal “*Indicative Vote” of confidence in the Prime Minister, immediately prior to this Wednesday’s meeting of the Committee, so that colleagues have an opportunity to demonstrate that they have lost faith in her leadership. My reasons for asking this of you, relate both to the existential future of our Party and the destiny of our Country and they are given below.

In short, we are living in a world gone mad. A Conservative Prime Minister, who voted to Remain, egged on by a coterie of neo-Federalist Civil Servants and a powerful Remainiac cabal in the Cabinet, has tried, - and failed three times - to pass a Draft Treaty through the House of Commons which would lock us into a Customs Union forever. Meanwhile, two Tory Privy Councillors, who have now been effectively disowned by their own local Associations, openly connive with two Senior Labour Select Committee Chairmen, to ram a highly contentious Bill, deliberately designed to frustrate Brexit, through the House of Commons in under four hours, by literally one vote. All this flies directly in the face of the democratic decision of 17.4 million UK citizens to leave the European Union. It even resulted in a heroic filibuster in the House of Lords on Thursday by some 50 unelected, but mainly Tory Peers, fighting to preserve our democracy, as undermined by the elected House.

Meanwhile, in a situation where any concept of collective responsibility disintegrated weeks ago, the so-called “Eurosceptics” in the Cabinet do absolutely nothing (save consume vast quantities of pizza). Riven by personal ambitions, they keep their heads firmly below the parapet, many of them hoping that by “sitting out” this great battle for the destiny of our Country, they will somehow inherit the crown. They won’t. This is because, as a rule of thumb, MPs, let alone our Party Members, do not generally vote for those they no longer respect.

So, Sir Graham, having been totally let down by our own “Officer Class” in the Cabinet, who continue to cower back at the Chateau, it now clearly falls to the “poor bloody infantry” of the Conservative backbenches - and specifically the Executive of the 1922 Committee - to prevent us being forced into a Customs Union with Labour support, which is completely at variance with the Manifesto on which we stood.
