Report: Theresa May Vows to Block No Deal Brexit by Aligning with Tory Remainers
Breitbart ^ | 6/17/2019 | Victoria Freidman

Posted on 06/17/2019 8:04:08 PM PDT by bitt

Outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May has vowed to stop the UK leaving the EU without a deal by aligning with Remainers in the Tory Party including Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Amber Rudd and Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond. Sources close to Mrs May told The Mail on Sunday that despite her failure to pass the EU-approved withdrawal treaty, she has “not budged” from her position that UK should not leave the bloc unless it has an exit deal.

One ally told the Sunday newspaper: “She made little secret of the fact that she did not want Boris to succeed her, and if you study everything she has said it is clear where she now is on No Deal. The best hope is that Boris is bluffing as usual.”

Mr Johnson, the bookies’ favourite to replace Mrs May as Conservative Party leader and prime minister, has said that the UK will leave the EU on October 31st “with or without a deal”.

The Mail also revealed that Mrs May had voted for ultra-Remainer Rory Stewart in Thursday’s first ballot of MPs. Mr Stewart has vowed that if he becomes prime minister, he will not let the country leave until he has secured a deal with the European Union that will pass in the House of Commons — despite frequent warnings from European leaders and bureaucrats that the deal will not be renegotiated.

“At the end of the day Mrs May believes the only way to leave is with a deal and Rory is the only candidate really sticking to that,” a senior Conservative told The Mail on Sunday.

Fixed it.

Putting someone who was vehemently against Brexit in charge of implementing Brexit was a doomed strategy from Day 1.

She’s going to push these English too far.
If you are determined to keep acting as a flat front tire on the nation’s independence and economy, better Watch your back Theresa.
You see people like Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson are not protected.

This guarantees that Britons who are already angry and disgusted with her and her ilk, will get more angry; and those Britons who were not angry up until now will get angry.

I am now sadly convinced Brexit will not happen without violence, May’s government was a ruse to buy time, which like the Brexit vote itself has backfired on the elites.

I miss the Brits that brought their men home from Dunkirk then went with US to kick Germany’s arse. Those that Ms Thatcher represented and wouldn’t have given their country to Muslims. Sad it’s came to this. “It is to weep”.

May is showing her true colors. She has been sabotaging Brexit since she became Prime Minister. Britain declared its independence from the EU. Once you declare independence you don’t negotiate, you just leave. When we declare independence we didn’t negotiate with the British Empire, we fought them. Britain must do the same with the EU.
