IT’S good the Brexit negotiations have been named after the most famous street in York: the Shambles!

We have ended, as I feared, in this complete mess. What a travesty.

Prime Minister Theresa May delivers an 11th hour broadcast to the nation blaming all our politicians in the House of Commons for this dire situation.

Is she so deluded and suffering from acute hubris to realise that it actually might be her that is to blame and that she is the problem?

She couldn’t even get the broadcast speech right.

As the PM delivering a serious message, she should not have been at a lectern - like a preacher - it should have been at her Downing Street desk.

Politics is about perception.

May is a loser. Every decision she has made has been a disaster, from calling a General Election and losing her majority to her alleged strategy for negotiation.

We are still being dictated to and humiliated by EU leaders and the Irish.

Why didn’t she show some leadership and guts with the backstop and threaten temporary emergency measures that would re-introduce a border and tell Barnier, Juncker and Tusk that we would leave without a deal on March 29?

The country must come first now.

The politicians must bang their heads together for an agreement or recognise it can’t be done - we must move forward.

Concern over future of Ireland after Brexit

PEOPLE are worried sick in Ireland over Brexit.

If the Troubles start again then this Government has a lot to answer for.
