Nah, not until the The Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill in July, which comes after the White Paper (presumably). Even then, it'll probably be the same story. Her pathetic weakness and inability to make decisions is almost a strength. There are too few rebels on either side that are willing to nail her jelly to the wall until it has set a little moreComment

Interesting.
So lets say we did not get May as PM - who should it have been?
Who would be better?
She took office on 13th July 2016 - after a vote to leave the EU which pretty much divided the country.
She then announced a general election as she was acutely aware that she was not the PM who won the last election and so she let the country decide - and she 'won' albeit with a hung parliament (she actually only lost 13 seats) - and it is not like it is the only hung parliament in the history of the uk is it.
It is easy to sit there and pick holes in what other people have tried to achieve.
And sadly I expected nothing better from the usual people on this forum.Comment

Still, there's a special alignment of factors (not engineered be her, but partly caused by her) that means, without another election, she probably has the best chance of anyone to make it through, albeit arse before tit.
As expected we did not get an answers did we - we just got the usual 'Brexit is bad, May is tulip'.
Problems we got loads of son - it's solutions which are a bit thin on the ground.Comment
