It's a General Election.

Well, surprise surprise.  Out of the blue.   

But did the Prime Minister actually have any other option when Labour said that it would not vote for any agreement on the EU unless it contained all the demands it was making.  Such a position from the main party of Opposition in the UK Parliament hardly gives the PM room for negotiation.  Labour effectively want to tell our EU friends what the final outcome will be.   

We should of course stop referring to this agreement as one we are engaging in to leave the EU.  We’re leaving the EU.  That’s what we voted for.  It is an agreement on what relationship we will have with the EU once we are out. 

Tim Farron, Lib Dem leader, still hasn’t quite got his head round the fact that the people voted to leave the EU.  And as we all knew before we voted, leaving the EU means we are leaving the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice and we are leaving the Single Market.   He can't get his head round that either.

But leaving the EU does not mean we won’t trade with EU on good terms.  Far from it.  We will happily still buy German, Spanish and French built cars.  People in the EU will still buy our engineering and financial products.   

And the only people who will get in the way of that will be politicians.  Like Sir Keir Starmer.  Like Tim Farron.   They are the blockage to a good deal.

I have to say one of the biggest laughs on what was actually a very serious day was the comments from Scotland’s first minister. Ms Sturgeon said the move was an "extraordinary u-turn" by Mrs May.   

Well, if anyone is good at u turns it is Nicola.  A once in a generation referendum on Scottish independence?  Aye right, Nicola.
