With Brexit in name only now appearing to be the central Tory plan, the great Brexit dilution is revealed.

The UK is in danger of leaving the EU in name only claims the former Cabinet Minister Theresa Villiers.

Following hot on the heels of Jacob Rees-Mogg, who warned that if the Tories delivered Brexit in name only, they will lose the next general election, writing in the Telegraph the Theresa Villiers said that the UK is heading towards a dilution of Brexit.

Saying that she has always been in favour of compromise and moderation in these negotiations, she wrote:

“That said, I understand why some are becoming nervous about the current situation.

“Since the Prime Minister set out a bold vision in her Lancaster House speech, the direction of travel seems to have gone in only one single direction: towards a dilution of Brexit.”

And she went on to say that proceeding along this path risks signing the UK up to a deal which effectively keeps us in the EU and fails to respect the referendum result and called on the PM to resist the immense pressure from a range of quarters to water it down.

But another Telegraph article claims that ministers are ready to give concessions to the EU Withdrawal Bill in order to ease its passage through the House of Lords.

“Senior government figures are working on a number of climb-downs designed to head off public battles with influential peers…..” says the Telegraph.

And Bloomberg says that the House of Lords is gearing up to disrupt Brexit and quotes the leader of the Liberal Democrats in the Lords, Dick Newby, as saying:

“There is a large majority of people in the Lords who feel that Brexit is a national disaster, and we will be trying to mobilise that majority as we go through.”

Thankfully though, many peers believe that the vision of a showdown between the Commons and the Lords is not a realistic proposition. Especially as it would only intensify calls for the abolition of the upper house.

But Tory peer James Arbuthnot is quoted by Bloomberg as saying:

“One-third of people voted to go, one-third voted to stay and one-third didn’t vote.

“If the Lords don’t choose this moment to brave abolition then what really is the point of the Lords?”

Labour Brexiteer MP Kate Hoey though has warned that some of our own civil servants are working to try and keep the UK firmly tied to the EU.

Talking on the ITV's Peston on Sunday the said:

“I was overseeing Michel Barnier on Monday with the Northern Ireland Select Committee and it was very clear from what he was saying that, you know, there is this cosy establishment of civil servants from our country meeting with the EU civil servants.

“And there is a kind of feeling that they are really all wanting to make this as easy as possible so that it actually leaves us very much in the position of staying in the EU.”

What really bugs me about these people is that they will work against the will of the people who pay their salaries, then quite happily accept the gongs, OBEs and knighthoods that flow from their positions. They need reining in fast.

And the Sun quotes an ally of Boris Johnson saying that the PM was in danger of mucking this process up when the stakes are so high, and that the Foreign Secretary will be spelling out his vision of a bold internationalist liberal buccaneering Brexit in a speech of optimism and hope.

Another big name that thinks Theresa May's stance is too weak is that of the US president Donald Trump.

Pointing out that the Brexit inner cabinet did not meet this week, he said that the lack of a Brexit position was allowing the likes of Boris Johnson and  Philip Hammond to try and fill it with their on visions.

This lack of a detailed position, he says, is leading to opportunities being missed.

But at least the Remain Project fear is losing traction, says the Express.
