Today was supposed to be when Theresa May came to Parliament to announce the first stage of Brexit talks was over and discussions about trade with the EU could begin. But...

Details of the apparent agreement were leaked late on Monday morning via an Irish journalist and a Green MEP from Belgium.

... While May and Juncker were still having lunch, the DUP's leader gave a statement at 2:40pm that apparently scuppered the chances of a deal today.

... The BBC reported that May left her lunch with Juncker early to take a call from Foster. Shortly afterwards the deal collapsed.

The shambles is being explained away as "a misunderstanding of words".

Theresa May is supposedly going to learn the words DUP likes and then there will be a deal tomorrow.

That at least is the script from 10 Downing Street. But...

No 'misunderstanding' of Brexit text - DUP

Amazing what shenanigans people are willing to go through to get their way in life...

How bad can you want to be Prime Minister?

Remember, Theresa May called the election before the loser Jeremy Corbyn was going to be tossed and she would then be faced with a tougher opponent.

But... Corbyn didn’t turn out to be such a loser and the DUP came to power making May weaker not stronger.

Theresa May would have been within her rights to first make a deal and then possibly call and election on that success. Instead she has the DUP taking her down.

You can’t make this stuff up.

I know, I tried!
