"It's still only delivering a no deal exit that holds any honour going forward."
Indeed it is, OG, and the option that should have been pursued from the outset (to concentrate the minds of our European "partners"). However it will not be countenanced by our Lords and Masters here in the UK. Thus we're left with the only "deal" that is on the table which effectively splits the country in two (which, quite frankly, the PM should not even have brought back, let alone put to Parliament) or no Brexit at all. A monumental failure (or possibly success, depending which side of the argument you are on) but also an extreme example of political deceit and dishonesty.
