All this have been done before triggering Article 50.  i.e. deciding what we wanted BEFORE diving in.If you have't got a specification, how do you measure success?  Project management 101.TBH, all this should have been done before calling the referendum.  Otherwise how would people know what they were voting for?

So it's being run a bit like a government IT project?

Good girl? Give her a pat on the head and a choc drop.🙄

:-)  Worryingly so!When making a change (or voting for one), capability to deliver should be a material consideration.

Justine did indeed vote the way I wanted, but I was wondering how Steve would have commented if our MP were a man. Good boy?She's nearly 50, for heaven's sake.

More to the point she is actually a Bad Girl.These are the actions of an MP desperate to hold on to what is now a marginal seat, she is simply playing to the Remainer Gallery that is the majority in these parts. In so doing she is ignoring the result of the 2016 Referendum, and going against the Conservative Manifesto she was elected on less than two years ago. A very bad girl indeed.

She is actually voting as the majority of her constituents wanted ie to Remain and in the best interests of the country rather than kowtow to the ERG in the Conservative Party who are no better than Momentum in the Labour Party. Both are extremist elements - one right wing and the other left wing.May thought she would get the country behind her with her  mistimed General Election. She has no majority - and is relying on the bribe she made to the DUP when the country didn't back her  Manifesto. Surprisingly the DUP aren't playing ball.

Totally agree with you Lucille.  I have to admire, however, the DUPs commitment to ensuring Northern Ireland is treated identically to the rest of the UK.  Really looking forward to them spearheading a move towards legalising abortion and gay marriage asap...

Indeed, Craig!
