May never intended to negotiate last week—it was a bad faith offer. May knows the EU won’t move on the backstop which she & the Cabinet 1st agreed to in Dec 2017. May knows she can’t amend the Good Friday Agreement as mooted tonight. She’s time wasting. The question is: why?

She will run down clock and risk Tory party split by going for Norway option.

Nah. No deal preserves red lines and can blame EU, while trusting business will stick with them anyway

My explanation: look for the course of action (I was going to say “decision”, but that’s not quite right) that minimises the chance of the Tory party breaking up over the next week. That’s the one she’ll adopt.

A general election or second ref? No deal and Norway+ would both split the Tory Party

She's stuck. Any move she makes blows apart her Party. I think she's hoping that Parliament goes for a 2nd Ref ostensibly against her will. Then she can wash her hands of the catastrofuck she has created, while continuing in power.

In office, possibly. In power?

It is simpler than that. a) there is at present no acceptable solution to Brexit b) every sane MP knows this but is afraid to say so. c) TM is not sane d) not one Tory wants her job e) they would rather ruin the UK than vote with the opposition to stop it f) we're all doomed
