Brexit : les Vingt-Sept sont de plus en plus dans le brouillard
I think maybe only Figaro subscribers can read the entire article but the gist is that in four whole months, the one and only firm assurance that the UK has managed to give to the EU is it will trigger Brexit next spring, and now it looks as if they might even go back on that. Talk about pi55-ups and breweries, can you wonder that nobody is impressed.

The important thing is that now, the entire country will see this debated in parliament; May will need to answer questions and to show her hand, so that MPs will know what it is they are actually voting on. Following the whips on something like without revealing any details simply won't wash, and nor should it. The public might have voted to leave, but in no way determined whether that should be a hard or soft exit, as it's referred to.

Has anyone else thought about the irony of all those people crying about how they didn't want to be ruled by an unelected EU head of parliament, but don't seem to have noticed that they're about to have the biggest changes they've ever seen imposed on them by an unelected British Prime Minister?

or, for me, the biggest irony will be if the government decide to appeal an unfavourable result from the Supreme Court because then it goes to the EU Court.....
