It’s Parliament that has pitted itself against people.
The Prime Minister’s statement was disgraceful. Pitting Parliament against the people in the current environment is dangerous and reckless. Yesterday her government attacked their civil servants. Now she’s attacking the MPs whose votes she needs. It will have cost her support

No. Parliament represents the people. And makes decisions on their behalf. She reports to Parliament and delivers on its instructions. Or she should. Almost nobody likes this deal.

It was shocking. A major miscalculation whichever side of the debate you are on. You simply cannot pit people against parliament. Populism takes us in a very dangerous direction

May has not the maturity to understand that. She has dug herself in so deep now. Not listened, she sees the only way out of the hole as her deal. If she can just have one more go. Like a gambler putting his shirt on one more throw of the dice.

This is how autocrats do things, isn't it? They try to establish a relationship between themselves and 'the people' that transcends political checks and balances.

She has a copy of Trumps playbook.

Do NOT support her deal, it's the absolute worst of both worlds. As a remainer (as well as a constituent) I'd rather you vote to revoke or hold a people's vote. But please, at the very least, support a long extension rather than this woeful deal or, god forbid, crashing out.
