I trust her as much as a bank robber with my money

[mdcplas]

Think she forgot to mention it will exclude banks from British law and tax, Include politicans exempt from paying taxes on income.

Money talks! The rest of us walk. Simple really

[VSSpeaksRoyally]

Nothing has been signed and until it is signed by EU there is no agreement. MPs laughing. When you vote to leave you leave - but then to push for EU to negotiate is crazy. Her speeches have said the same thing for weeks, months and two years. OH MAY

Lies lies and more lies . She is a disgrace I didn't vote for a deal I voted to leave the EU and the customs union 😡😡she needs to go

A quote from Oliver Cromwell...
“It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonoured by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

Complete sellout to the Banks and Corporations

just leave already. Stop trying to please everyone. We are suppose to be a democracy. Clearly not. What a joke.

[BlizardMedia]

Bad deal, this isn't Brexit at all.

[ngp]

She can’t lead she just ignores everyone

[koninginvictoria]

Step down May! This is a disgrace!
This is not freedom from the EU.

[MrFergusferret]

The EU did not negotiate with Cameron, they have not negotiated with May so why will they negotiate in the next 20 months!!!

[sagittariusa]

Well when the rioting starts at least there won't be any looting, there's not many shop's open in the high street to loot

[bushwhacked]

Every lie she tells she gets a little more hunched over, she will be a roly poly champion by the end of the week.

This isn't a divorce proposal, it's a proposal to go from being registered married to having a strict marriage that you cannot divorce from, with one partner having legal dominance over the lesser partner.

BREXIT SIMPLIFIED -

The family needed a better home. Dad thought he'd found the perfect spot. It had great views, and that was because it was on top of a cliff. Being a democratic family they agreed to vote on whether to leave for the cliff, or to remain in town. They had three children and decided arbitrarily that 12 was the minimum voting age, so their youngest child couldn't vote. Mum argued that the cliff was further from the shops and it would be harder to get food. The son said he wanted to remain in town to hang out with his friends. So those two voted to remain. But Dad, the older daughter and grandma, voted to leave — therefore they went ahead with the purchase. A survey was carried out and eventually contracts were exchanged.

At this point there was a shock phone-call from the director of the surveying company. He told them that the surveyor they had sent out (who had since left the company) had supplied false information. He advised the family not to go ahead because there was a strong possibility that the house they were planning to move into would crash into the sea!

The family suffered a further setback: that night grandma died in her sleep. But soon after the funeral there was a cheerful event when their youngest child reached her twelfth birthday. Like her brother she felt it would be more fun to stay in town rather than live in isolation on top of a cliff. In the light of all this the mother demanded a second vote. The first time the majority had been in favour of leaving, but now the numbers would be 3 to 2 to remain. The father said no way. He argued, rather badly and paradoxically, that it was undemocratic to vote. He said they had made their decision and must stick to it no matter what.

The mother was astonished, “You mean you want to put the lives of our children in peril by moving to a house that's likely to fall into the sea?!”

“Yes, ” he replied. “We've signed the initial contract, and put in a lot of time and effort to get this far. We have to stick to our plan. If the house starts to move I'll make you a nice cup of tea and a bacon sandwich.

Should of spent your 2 years actually building policies to create a smooth transition to brexit. Spent 2 years trying to get out of it instead. The fact we have definitions of Brexit tells you all you need to know.

[jayenvanz]

This shitshow just exposes how divided the UK is, and how united the EU has become because of Brexit 😊

[davyscales]

Well at least when Pinocchio lied you knew!

[leapsplashafrog]

So how is this out of Sm and Cu in any way ?

on 9 May 2018 govt said after our vote
The UK is leaving the EU’s Single Market and Customs Union. We are seeking to establish a deep and special partnership with the EU and a new customs arrangement outside the EU’s Customs Union” ??
