Any hopes that the Prime Minister’s intervention would break the Brexit negotiating deadlock appear to have been dashed.

Theresa May’s offer in her Florence speech last month, of a two year transition period and the UK meeting this EU budget period obligations, seems to have fallen on stony ground, at least in France and Germany.

The Financial Times is saying that both the Germans and the French will stop the progress of any talks until the terms of exit for the UK are fully settled.

So, despite the guarded welcome the PM’s speech received on the day, it looks like certain factions within the EU have decided to continue to play hard-ball.

The truth is, that this is just a continuation of the negotiations. But the EU is conducting these negotiations in a brinksmanship fashion. They know the UK has a strong hand, but they think we have become a weak nation used to being pushed about by the EU machine.

And oh so predictably, the Remainers are out in force saying that it’s all over and that we should just abjectly surrender and give up our country to the EU, again.

One has to wonder if they approach their work or family lives in the same fashion - just take the easy route and do what they’re told and if it looks difficult, just drop it.

Now, I know that’s actually not true for the vast majority of Remainers, I just wish they would put their shoulder behind Brexit in the same way they would any other aspect of their lives.

The real problem that the Remainers have, is that as far as I can see, there is no ‘off’ switch for Article 50. It’s a one way street.

Once we’ve left we can then technically apply to re-join the bloc, but that would take many years and also require the UK to agree to Schengen, the Euro, full financial control from Brussels and an EU army at the very least. It would also require the remaining 27 member states (and any new joiners) to unanimously agree to our re-entry - do you think that’s a realistic notion?

The terms for re-joining would be Brexit multiplied. Spain, for example, would almost certainly demand the UK cedes Gibraltar to them in one form or another, even before perusing the Article 49 joining paperwork. The hollowing out of our sovereignty would be complete and Westminster really would be no more than a EU parish council.

And I doubt the people of the UK would be up for that particular ride!

Since the triggering of Article 50, the Leavers and Remainers are all in the same boat. So logically we all have the same vested interest in making a post-Brexit UK work for everyone.

We all now have a collective responsibility to work for success. For the sake of ourselves and our children and their children.

So I would urge all Remainers to put the EU aside and think about helping to work towards a successful UK. That doesn’t make you a Leaver, it makes you a good UK citizen.

Because, in reality, there is no other option.

There are also rumours surfacing that Brexit is being used as a pawn in a power play game to prevent Michel Barnier achieving his ambition of replacing Jean-Claude Juncker to become the EU Commission President.

Anyway, it’s a good thing that both sides have been quietly preparing for the inevitable hard, no-deal Brexit.

What do you think. please leave a comment below, thank you.
