Having an arrogant attitude of 'The EU is scared! Brexit will be a revolution that will break the EU!' will get us nowhere and neither will blind faith. The best thing we can do is accept that reality of the situation, things are bad and May is dangerously incompetent and will go whichever way the wind blows. Negotiations must be salvaged because we aren't in a strong enough position to be arrogant at this stage.

And who do you suggest for this mammoth task - it clearly wouldn't be Corbyn.

Wouldn't trust Farron either. May is the Priminister and likely to remain so - it is her job and with the right support from her team, no one can do it on their own, she is the woman for the job. To describe her as dangerously incompetent is silly.

Our position is as strong as our self belief and our value of our strengths i.e. Security expertise.

I'm just relieved we are not likely to be lumbered with the Corbyn/Abbot combo - what a disaster that would be.
