There really is no limits to the stupidity of some people.

You literally couldn't make it up. If that was tried in a plot scenario script meeting for a political drama the writer who floated it would be sacked on the spot.

Shocking. Is there a single decent politician around? I’m not sure there is.

What she actually said makes perfect sense but who are we to think the Independent would consider context.

I agree...

Just a pity she felt she had to 'clarify' what she 'actually said' when her stupidity was pointed out

Kind of similar to the 80% claim made by a minister earlier...

Brexshiteers (or pretend brexshiteers) are now truly grasping at straws!

What straws? There are two options: Leave with this deal, or leave with no deal. labour don't seem to want to put forward an alternative. or are they hoping to fight an election wooing both leave and remain and then declaring their hand?

Her tweet was posted 17/11 8:54am
The Sky News article was posted 17/11 12:39pm
The independent article was posted yesterday.

Again, I'm not surprised that The Indi would remove context for sake of spin but it was quite clear what she meant, as you said, you agree.

Just like words on a red bus

Not in the slightest.

She incorrectly said "This deal gives us no...."
(MEPs, Commissioner, votes, voice, etc)

The truth is, that resigning from the EU means we give up our...

"No deal" also gives us no....

When we resign from the EU we no longer have those things.

That's what she wanted.

It's too late for her to whinge about it now.

 

[JohnD]

Apparently it literally was made up

Nope.

She is either falsely pretending that she didn't know that resigning from the EU meant giving all that up

Or she is so stupid that she didn't know.

What's your guess?

 

[Notch7]

Nope.

its not a guess:

You are falsely pretending not to notice the words 'transition period'

Will the UK be paying a fee during the transition period?
