For me this is the reason I choose leave.
If we arnt going to spend the money on our hospitals then I want less people. Easy as that.

The EU has refused to offer Mrs May a legal process for the UK to terminate the interim deal.

She has no wriggle room and it is painful to watch. I do not believe Parliament will pass this without that legal clause.

I would not be surprised if over the weekend the "grey" men tell her to fall on her sword. I think her options are limited and in no particular order are:

1. Tell the EU the whole thing is off and we go to WTO rules so no money for them. This has always been my preferred option but I don't think its in her heart to do this. She has stopped saying no deal is better than a bad deal.

2. Soldier on wasting parliamentary time hoping for a Christmas miracle and a change of mind amongst MPs. Quite likely this is what will happen.

3. Resign and dump the problem in someone else's lap. She is not a quitter but unless she is prepared to walk away from the deal I think she will be told to go by the whips.

4. Call a general election and ask the people to back her deal. I don't think this will work because it puts Tory voters in a bind, vote for a deal you don't want or let Corbyn in. If she goes for this option I suspect Tory voters will never forgive her.

5. Call a referendum but what will the question be? Options 4 and 5 will almost certainly mean that the Brexit date is moved back. Again I think many voters will not forgive her for this.

6. Bit left field this one. She approaches Corbyn and somehow agrees some sort of deal that the Labour party can live with or at least abstain. Unlikely as I don't see what's in it for Labour and again Mrs May will be despised by Tory voters and MPs for going against her own party.
