It was a joke.

She's hit a lot of points so far.

Self determination.
Maintenance of parliamentary democracy.

Moving onto membership and objectives...

Seems to be a lot of contradictions. Been taking lessons from trump I think!

I was rather hoping for go for Patrick Minford's suggestion of simply lifting all import tariffs. That would at least be straightforward.

65 million people want Brexit to happen?

Good speech, nice warning shot across the bows of the EU too

[MarshPhantom]

Why did the chap from The Times ask her about a 2 state solution in the middle east?

I assume you voted to remain......... we are Brexiting, leaving the EU, taking back control.......when I say we I mean me, you and every other UK citizen are now Brexiters, all 65 million of us, and the sooner those that voted remain get used to it, stop whingeing and move on the better.

Yep, gave a bit more clarification than I think a lot of people expected.

But to say 65 million want to leave is a big fat lie, as I'd hope you must realise.

I think she actually said that 65 million people want their government to achieve the best possible outcome for the country given the circumstances.

Good job it's not on the side of a big red bus then.........you will find it a lot less stressful if you can see it as new doors opening rather than old ones closing you know.

Which way did you vote? you never did answer.

You might want to quote the exact part you are taking issue with.

While the UK wants to be a friend to the EU, if the EU takes a punitive approach to the talks, this would be an "act of calamitous self-harm" and would not be the act of the friend.

A very well constructed sentence, not quite a warning shot but but enough to catch their attention. I like it. All in all some of my suspicion that we are going to get screwed with a half arsed exit are being allayed.
