i'm sorry, but you don't get to call 16 million people "citizens of nowhere" and align yourself with a paper that calls us "saboteurs", and then expect us to all unite behind you #roadtobrexit

Translation of Theresa May’s speech:
I realise I can’t deliver what Brexiteers want, but please go easy on me and let me have something they might accept so I can resign in a couple of years, rather than being forced out.#RoadtoBrexit

Theresa May in 2016 "Let's get on with negotiating our future."
Theresa May in 2017 "Let's get on with negotiating our future."
Theresa May in 2018 "Let's get on with negotiating our future."
This isn't a #RoadtoBrexit, it's a fucking roundabout.

"A lot of you said I couldn't do this. But here I am 30 seconds into the speech and so far nothing's fallen of the wall, nobody has handed me a P45 and I haven't coughed or shit myself." #RoadtoBrexit pic.twitter.com/f2DEpPEYlj

Theresa May wants a mutually beneficial partnership between the UK and EU after Brexit.
She is inadvertently making a speech that sounds like a campaigning plea to remain in the EU. #RoadToBrexit

Can’t help but feel this #RoadtoBrexit speech is actually a blue print to ‘Manage the Decline’ doesn’t feel quite so patriotic as the rhetoric was 🇬🇧

Theresa May just ruled out the Norway (single market) model, the Canada (free trade) model, and WTO rules as ALL economically damaging.
So I guess maybe we should just stay in the EU?#RoadtoBrexit #MansionHouseSpeech

"We want a close partnership with the EU. Which is why we've consistently blamed everything on them, and repeatedly told them and their citizens to fuck off." #RoadtoBrexit pic.twitter.com/jmsW60lj92

Theresa May answering reporters' question has the look of a waitress who must try to explain how the kitchen changing your order without your agreement from a steak to a tuna sandwich is a good thing. #roadtobrexit
