The following shows the arrogance and plain stupidity of the government.
May's only advance was lost. She could trigger art 50 at any time; she could wait until at least the UK had a plan. However, she was more concerned about her own position as MP.

Brexit: German politicians tell Irish counterparts ‘British are a disgrace’
'It was actually farcical is what they said. They came out of the meeting very bemused and annoyed'
Senior German politicians reportedly launched a scathing attack on their British counterparts, calling them a “disgrace” and labelling their response to Brexit “farcical” during a meeting in the Bundestag.
Irish and German figures gathered at an Oireachtas delegation held by the German Parliament’s finance committee to discuss Brexit.
Fine Gael senator Ray Butler, who attended the meeting, said the German politicians were speaking after a recent visit to Westminster.
They said they met the finance committee in London and they were shocked by the way they handled themselves," Mr Butler told the Sunday Independent.
"They said they were making it up as the went along and were very poorly prepared for Brexit.”
"It was actually farcical, is what they said. They came out of the meeting very bemused and annoyed.”
Independent senator Gerard Craughwell said the group raised "deep concerns" over how prepared the UK was for Brexit.
"They found the British finance committee unprepared for Brexit and said they didn't seem to have considered the impact leaving the EU would have on Britain's economy," Mr Craughwell said.
A report documenting the Bundestag visit recorded both German and Irish politicians as being disappointed by Britain’s decision to leave the EU.
"Both sides agreed that there was no 'upside' to Brexit,”
