I thought Trump was Putin's stooge. Now we've got our own idiot flying the Russian flag.
Nah - Farage has done a deal with Trump.

I supported May as the best available candidate when cameron went, but she truely is awful. Way way out of her depth and no substance whatsoever. She is in no way capable of delivering a successful brexit, (which to be fair is almost impossible task).

It's only a matter of time before Brexit supporters turn on her I would imagine. She has gotten a surprisingly easy time from the right wing press so far (who have been busy demonising just about everyone else for trying to thwart Brexit) but I suspect she will come into their sights soon enough.

She stood there, a sad figure, next to a single chopper and naval ship to be scrapped next year, waffling on about a red, white and blue Brexit, a completely meaningless phrase. I have no confidence in Mrs May at all, she speaks with a forked tongue, only to suit the audience of the moment. She will be chopped up and spat out in the EU exit process, and we will all end up much poorer. It is, indeed, the pantomime season and we are all in the farce, only it's not funny. No, it certainly isn't!

The implication being that only the patriotic support brexit, I don't think we have reached the bottom of the barrel yet but it is certainly in sight.

Does this woman ever say anything of the slightest substance whatsoever?

What utter crap.

Is anyone dumb enough to fall for this nonsense?

Oh wait, people voted for Brexit so of course they are.

Reckon? I think they'd rather drown in a vat of sulphric acid than even vaguely admit the whole thing's a shambles from start to finish! What might turn them is when the soft Brexit - or is it grey - or red/white/blue? I'm totally lost now - starts to emerge, we keep FoM pretty well intact in order to trade (and pay a whallop on top of course) and they start with "it's not what we voted for" and May turns round with "Yes it was and you ain't getting a second referendum because you don't want one".

Which was just one of the things many of us remainers were saying before the referendum, with no clear plan of what a leave vote would mean, what the end goal of a leave vote would be, it was clear to lots of us that a leave vote would result in utter chaos, and guess what?

The very first indication that we were right was when Cameron bravely legged it for the hills to count his money and launch his speaking career titled "The UK and how I made it's people an international joke"

^ pretty much this. I voted remain, not because I'm in love with the EU, or that I cannot be convinced that we could be better off out. But because the whole thing was a farce... being done without a clue, without a plan, and for the wrong reasons (ideological rather than with the countries best interests at heart).

What we had was working, not without its problems (most of which caused by government policy and social issues rather than the EU). But it could have been much worse and I fear that voting to leave will show us what the worse could look like.

More empty words from a prime minister who is clearly out of her depth.

Well she is keeping twitter amused. Basically her honeymoon is over.

She really thinks we're stupid. And a depressingly large number of people will buy into it.
translation:- We have no clue what we're doing,so gonna throw a few words out there and hope they land in a sentence.
shows exactly how intelligent she thinks electorate are. Distract us form her non-plan by saying some colours.
Soft Brexit hard Brexit grey Brexit now Theresa May talking about Red white +blue Brexit when will it ever end.
How about a get the f**k on with it
Welcome to Soundbite Britain, where meaningless statements = policy
.

I explained before Theresa, a mantra is not a plan
Phew! It's a #RedWhiteAndBlueBrexit. What a relief, for a minute there I thought there was no plan at all and we were all screwed..
Can't help think #RedWhiteAndBlueBrexit is so meaningless I'll probably be on a tabloid front page tomorrow
At what point should it have become obvious to the media that Theresa May is laughably incompetent?
You can always rely on Theresa May to come up with meaningless, evasive twaddle

They are clueless. And have been since the referendum was called.
Politicians seem incapable of planning for the "day after."
They are a blight on this country.

Massive U-turn. Sky News twitter feed.

The Government has accepted a Labour motion which demands the Brexit plan is published before triggering the formal process to leave the EU

That's certainly a major development, looks like period around the triggering of A50 is going to be an extremely lively one.

"The plan is to get a deal."


OK that's £7500 per word, plus £14563000000 for the thinking that went into it.
Cash only, no cheques or IOUs.

Precisely, if this was a game of cards even the best card player in the world would find it near impossible to win and would have a good chance of losing everything.

Is this a new variant.

How about a fast and hard Brexit - maybe Mrs May would like that.

Not sure what she is wittering on about.

What meaningless, patronising and totally empty bullshit.

(May and the quote, I mean, not any of the responses!!)

Further evidence that there is no plan at all regarding exiting the EU. Theresa May is just stringing together words but saying **** all.

Let's be real - whoever took the job on it was always going to be a futile task. Quite frankly it's just another reminder of how utterly pointless and costly this whole exercise is.
