Theresa May said she wanted to take back control and yet is incapable of doing just that within her own party.
I understand that there’s a Brexit nativity play doing the rounds at Westminster with Theresa May as the Virgin Mary trying to convince an apparently cuckold Joseph that nothing has changed.
But Joseph, like the rest of us, knows that everything has changed. And immaculate conceptions aside, what May has delivered, and that no amount of Christmas miracles can disguise, is a bastard of a Brexit that no one but she wants to claim as their own.
And while last week’s scenes in the Mother of all Parliaments were less nativity and more farce, the very notion of parliamentary democracy all but ended with the government pulling a meaningful vote.
