Instead of delivering Brexit, it looks like our Prime Minister is about to deliver a lesson in how not to deliver Brexit.

First things first. Do you know what today is? Apart, of course, of it being Sunday and only having 159 days to go until Brexit Day.
Today is of course Trafalgar Day!
On this day, the 21st October, in 1805, Royal Navy ships under the command of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson took two hours to force the surrender of Admiral Villeneuve by destroying over 20 ships of the opposing French and Spanish fleets.
So:
"The Immortal Memory of Lord Nelson and those who fell with him"
I wonder what he and those who sailed with him would make of what our politicians are up to today?
The news today is that relations between the Prime Minister and the members of Jacob Rees Mogg's Eurosceptic European Research Group have broken down.
The Express reports that Brexiteers are now turning down Number Ten dinner invites to discuss the Brexit negotiations.
The Brexiteers think they have the numbers to vote down any Chequers based deal and also that trying to extend the Article 50 process or the transition period would be a non-starter.
But on the other side, allies of the PM say that she is now safe from being forced out and that with every day that passes her side strengthens and the Brexiteers weaken, and it's already too late to try and remove her they say.
And the Express says:
"There is also a view that once a deal with the EU is agreed, even if it fails to deliver Brexit properly, Tory MPs will be forced to support it."
One Downing Street source is quoted by the Express as saying:
“When, not if, we get a deal the dynamic will completely change.
“Then they will have to explain to their constituents why they are putting their jobs at risk just for the concept of a clean Brexit. People didn’t vote for that and they will not forgive them.”
A clean Brexit is not a concept! Not delivering Brexit properly is not delivering Brexit - full stop!
And if that's Theresa May's plan then she'll find her precious party thrown on the scrapheap at the next general Election and she will have achieved the ultimate Labour Party wet-dream all on her own.
On the positive side, the Brexit Secretary, Dominic Raab, has said that the UK will not agree to extend the 21 month Brexit transition period unless the EU drops its demands for an Irish border backstop.
In a seeming effort to keep his party's Brexiteers on side and allay any fears that the UK could end up permanently trapped in the customs union, he has written in the Telegraph that there could be no 'indefinite limbo inside the EU's customs union'.
He also wrote that the UK will not sacrifice Northern Ireland and that there must be 'finality' on any backstop arrangement "...whether through a time-limit or a mechanism that enables the UK to leave, in case the EU doesn't live up to its promise to get the future relationship in place swiftly."
Speaking to Sky News, arch Remainer Alastair Campbell said that Leave voters are now disillusioned with the government's handling of Brexit, no doubt trying to convince us that Brexiteers had all changed their minds about leaving the EU.
Of course nothing could be further from the truth. As Nigel Farage said, 'the problem isn't Brexit, it's the Prime Minister', and he went on to say that she's betraying Brexit, adding that unless she changes direction very, very quickly he thinks the Tories will ditch her.
And with the news that I brought to you in this morning's video that members of the Tory back bench 1922 committee have urged her to attend this Wednesday's meeting, with some saying that she'd better bring her own noose, then you can see that this prediction could well come to pass.
And David Davis wrote in the same 'paper that Theresa May had "managed to anger not just Leavers but ardent Remainers as well".
