It was a brilliant coup, masterfully conducted with a sadist’s attention to detail.
All the ministers in the Cabinet were hauled up to Chequers, the Prime Minister’s country residence, where their phones were confiscated, as though they were naughty children. Then the stubbornly pro-Brexit ones who were rightly disgusted by the shaming sell-out deal May had cobbled together with her virulently Remainer civil servants were given the same choice Rommel was in 1944: cyanide pill or slow career death.
The cyanide pill option would have involved resigning immediately on principle: but then being ritually humiliated by having their official car confiscated and having to walk to the train station via the mile-long drive, or catch a cab, with a £67,000 pay cut.
A letter to each minister, leaked to the press, warned them of this beforehand. Petty, but given how vain ministers are, very effective.
None of the leading Brexiteers present – not Michael Gove, not even Boris Johnson whose last chance this was to establish himself as the credible voice of the Leave resistance – chose to do the decent thing. (Though Brexit Secretary David Davis has resigned since, as has his brilliant and principled junior minister Steve Baker – one of the unsung heroes of the Leave campaign).
Really, though, the “who did what to whom and why?” elements of this story are a distraction from the only thing that matters: Brexit has been sabotaged, democracy undermined, and the people betrayed by the Remainer establishment.

English rule, never had a heart.
The brain is now dead. It happened when they embraced the blood red immigration pill.
Like Hotel California, you can come any time, but can never leave. Remember they are not citizens, they are subjects. Free men own weapons, slaves do not.
Thank. I did not know.
I like that approach.
May is Brussels’ *itch.
Death by Bureaucrap
Totalitarianism in all forms is Evil. Progressive, Socialist, Marxist, Fascist, Communist, Dictator, Islamist, Bureaucrap. ALL Evil.
The new election will be:
Soft Brexit
vs.
Softer Brexit,
if Jeremy Corbyn doesn’t turn Bremain.
I don’t think May will last. Might be pie in the sky, but I see BoJo rising from the ashes - with FURIOUS Brexit voters’ support.
And British intelligence agencies can launch an official investigation into the “Russia collusion” in Brexit.
Hitler was before his time. He would have loved the EU. Everything he wanted at much lower cost.
Stalin would have loved the EU even more, he also was a globalist, much more than a nationalist (always with Russia as “first amongst equals” though).
You’re on target. They’re playing for keeps. I see the rabbit hole goes deep. Most people get upset with me if I start telling them how deep. They don’t want to accept it.
Yes, deep indeed.
And Winston Churchill would have been an staunch Europhile.
Not even novichok can save Theresa now
Next week visit to UK -Wonder what Trump will have to talk about and with who? As the liberals show their arses by mocking him
Only muzzie terrorists are allowed guns there - everyone else uses knives.
Now that would make one heluva conversation starter...
Heh heh heh...
That's funny!
Well, it's up to the voters to hold elected officials to account.
Yes, it is up to the people. If the people in charge in England still allow them to decide things.
