Really? How come? May etc doesn't want to simply leave the EU. She wants
to set up a new trade etc deal at the same time.

she wants to agree trading details I agree

but that is to be expected and is not the same thing as a trade deal

Isn't that splitting hairs? May wants to continue trading with the EU on
better than WTO terms. And seems to think it is the UK's right to do this.
Despite being told from the off that cherry picking wasn't on the agenda.
If she'd said she'd accept the same deal as others - like say Norway -
perhaps a different matter.

And now of course the two years since signing article 50 isn't enough. She
wants a further two years. Which will just about take her to the end of
this parliament - if she lasts that long.
