This all sounds like somebody talking for both parties - like a judge overseeing a court.

Does she still not realise we're on the back foot here?

No no, you're confused, we can't be on the backdoor by definition because we're British and everyone else just needs to give us everything.

Blair spinning in his political grave. Boris spinning in his zipline harness. No one knows what the fuck any of this means.

I think it's an okay speech so far.
Makes sense to sell the EU and emphasize the partnership to aid negotiations.

What were other people expecting?

Hey, May and Co get a nice little vacation in Florence out of this, so it wasn't pointless, even if she stops midway through and just walks off camera.

Is she trying to play for time by asking for a new overseeing council or something? I have no idea what this is supposed to achieve.

Yeah, no. The EU aren't "in" this with us. We're the ones with a fucking challenge ahead.

Something realistic, tangible, deliverable and not based entirely in double-speak and fantasy. So far it's been platitudes and a list of solutions that won't do for the super-democratic will of the British people.

Because this is literally not advancing negotiations at all

Not taking a position, just saying every position is shit and we have to think of something

How vague can you be

We are six months into the two-year negotiations. The speech does very little to substantially advance these negotiations.

The other member states of the EU know what the benefits of the EU are. It's tantamount to writing a whole list of the reasons you should be wary of heights to a crowd of adults are well aware, only to then go to that 400ft bungee jumping place in the UK and take a running leap off the cliff sans bungee cord, in the belief you'll be ok because everyone you just gave that speech to will come up With a "creative solution".

The hard right of her supporters who are hearing this and want us to just leave are going to walk right over to UKIP, I'd bet.

If this speech leads to a further drop in the polls for May, she has to go, surely? If she can't keep the Brexit bloc united she'll be allowing Corbyn into Number 10.
