UK’s approach considered a national embarrassment

Nine out of ten Britons believe the UK’s handling of Brexit is a ‘national humiliation’, a poll shows. Only seven per cent don’t feel it has been embarrassing….found Sky Data.

Meanwhile, Mrs May held a cabinet meeting at No. 10 yesterday and later summoned leaders of other parties for talks as she continued arguing for her deal. But Mr Corbyn walked out because Chuka Umunna, who resigned from the party to to form The Independent Group, had been invited.

Lib Dem leader Vince Cable said Mr Corbyn’s refusal to attend on the grounds that Mr Umunna was not a proper party leader was a ‘strange way’ to behave amid the Brexit deadlock. Mr Umunna said: ‘I find it extraordinary behaviour in a national crisis.

In the Commons, Mrs May said she would agree to only a short delay…but her comments sparked fury…with Dominic Grieve saying: I have never felt more ashamed to be a member of the Conservative Party. I think it was the worst moment I have experienced since I came into the House of Commons.’ From the other wing of the Conservative Party, Peter Bone told the PM: ‘If you continue to apply for an extension you will be betraying the British people. History will judge you at this moment. Which is it to be?’
