There is only so many times that the Prime Minister can say that she is not running down the clock for the Brexit vote so her MP's are forced to choose just between her deal or no Deal before the 29 March deadline.
She must have said it dozens of times and she has had to say it again today as she delayed the vote until 12 March which still gives everyone 17 days to sort out something if her vote is turned down again as expected.
Admittedly she waited until she was thousands of miles away in Egypt to announce it and just breezily just happened to mention that the vote which was meant to be going ahead this week has been cancelled.
With 33 days to go, even her own MPs are now calling for an extension to the negotiating period to allow Britain more time to iron out the deal agreements, possibly eyeing the pathetic six deals which have done so far, and even the EU are taking pity on us and mumbling that the actual leaving date could be pushed back another 21 months if we want.
As we would need 40 deals to just break even with what we currently have with the EU, the agreed deals to run from 29 March that we have put in place with Israel, The Palestinian Authority, Switzerland, The Faroe Islands, Eastern and Southern Africa and Chile is a poor return for two years worth of negotiations.
I don't think Mrs May is running down the clock, i think she and her Government are just woefully hopeless and not just at negotiating with the EU, just inadequate in general.
