I just cannot understand Theresa May's Brexit strategy.
To get a parliamentary majority, she and everyone else knows perfectly
well that she must drop Tory 'red lines'. She must negotiate seriously
with Labour MPs and unions, make real concessions on workers' rights,
and offer serious investment to Leave-voting constituencies.
Yes, that means fucking over her own headbanger backbenchers and the
DUP. Yes, it risks a schism. Yes, her parliamentary situation is
precarious enough. Yes, it means giving something to Jeremy Corbyn. But
consider the results of actually securing a deal. Currently, businesses
are hoarding a lot of capital. In the last year, we've seen the longest
downswing in business investment outside of a recession for fifteen
yeas. On top of that, almost a trillion pounds in assets and investments
has been withdrawn from the City in fear of a "no deal" Brexit. (They
call this 'Brexodus', because of course they do.)
