Theresa May is entering her third week of Brexit hell. With no resolution in sight on the issue of the Irish border and suspicion growing over No 10’s grand plan, the Tory party is looking more fractious than ever. As James notes on Coffee House, although every week there are reports of plotting and an incoming confidence vote, it does seem as though there has been a further deterioration of party morale that could prove the last straw.
In a bid to avoid that fate, May has penned an article for today’s Sun in which she strikes a more personal tone than usual and promises to press on:
‘Turn on the TV most days and you’ll find someone speculating about what the Brexit talks mean for Theresa May. Has it been a good day or a bad day for me? Am I up or down? ‘How are YOU doing Prime Minister?’ one journalist asked me recently.
