  1. People have a right to be angry at Gina Miller too.

  2. The government promised a referendum. They delivered on that promise. The country voted. Now the government is willing to implement what the people have voted for. If parliament votes against that, they will be voting against a sovereign democracy. In other words, they will continue contracting out the UK's governance to the EU. Which is not what the country wants. Gina Miller might like to fling mud at May's government. But they have been as good as their word. She complains about the hate and abuse she has been getting. But she is involving herself and the court system in politics. So she should get used to it. Politics is like that. Just ask Theresa May.

  3. Any deals will no doubt be discussed openly. There will be two sides in any agreement reached, and an open discussion is as much in the EU's interest as it is the UK's. However, neither side can be making promises before the deal has been finalised. The UK, for instance, cannot be making guarantees over EU citizens resident in the UK without knowing that any such guarantee would be reciprocated. That would be plainly ridiculous. But a vote against any exit deal is not a vote to remain. It would simply be a rejection of any agreement reached. Which, presuming those who voted against any deal (along with Gina Miller and her supports) care at all about the UK's future relations with the EU (and don't just want to sink the ship because they didn't get their way-something that, quite rightly, would be unforgivable), would be very unwise.  As for Theresa May not having a plan, neither does the EU. One moment the principle of free movement is sacred. The next it is not. A good deal with a post-Brexit UK is as much in the interests of the remaining members of the EU as it is for the UK. With Trump's election, the rise of the far right in France, a stagnant economy, and an aggressive Russia on its eastern boarder, Europe is not in any position to be making enemies.
