FFS, the people she needs to be pressuring are in the UK Parliament.

The EU agreed the withdrawal terms with May, including the NI "backstop" that was her idea in the first place, and managed to wrangle 27 EU leaders to support it.

This is just more empty posturing and game-playing in an effort to paint the EU as the intractable force in this debacle.

Right now, it's understandable if the EU just wants shot of us ASAP since our government's in such a state. Can you imagine if the UK was seeking first-time accession to the EU amid all this shambles? It'd be a non-starter.

Hell, I don't want to be part of a club that includes the current UK Parliament!
