IN 1915, Tsar Nicholas overruled his generals and took personal charge of the Russian armies fighting Germany: disaster.

In 1943, Hitler overruled his generals and took personal charge of the German armies fighting Russia: disaster.

In 2018, Theresa May overruled her ministers and took personal charge of the Brexit negotiations...

Can no-one stop her from traipsing Europe offering cut-price deals and instead bring her home to walk the Pennine Way or some such holiday activity away from her south eastern comfort zone?

We must be tougher in Brexit negotiations 

Theresa May’s approach to Brexit is to beg, plead, appease, and conform to every demand from Brussels, constantly belittling her country’s natural talent.  Before we capitulate she must dramatically change tack or move aside. With Britain’s ability to prosper, trade with anyone, coupled with the financial might of the city, we should be telling Barnier and co what we intend to do, not listening to them telling us what we should do.
