Nile Gardiner on Brexit Defeat: Theresa May Is Living on ‘Borrowed Time’

‘We need to have new strong leadership in Great Britain’

EXCERPT:

GARDINER: "Actually, that would have been a far better approach. Theresa May should have kicked off the negotiations with EU saying that Britain is preparing for a no-deal. That would have, I think, guaranteed a far better offer coming from the European Union. As it is, I think the deal that's offered by the EU is a humiliating deal for Great Britain. And, rightly, I think the Parliament rejected this deal, 118 conservative MPs voted against it. I think the Prime Minister needs to do the decent thing here, which is to declare that she is going to move forward with a no-deal, and also to declare  that once Brexit is is implemented at the end of March, that he will step down in favor of a new Conservative prime minister who will lead Britain into the Brexit era. But I think this is a prime minister who is living on borrowed time in Downing Street and clearly, you know, her support is eroding by the day."
