The media coverage of May's speech yesterday was visceral. They tore into her from all sides, arguing that compromises too far were to no one's liking. Many of my colleagues were equally appalled and much is going on behind the scenes. I had a chance to savour The Times during a visit to the dentist first thing, so I was well aware of some colleague's comments. A routine morning and then down to the Chamber for PMQs. Many MPs on our side were absent, some just fed up with the whole situation. Iain Duncan-Smith, Owen Paterson, Mark Francois and Johnny Mercer asked excellent questions about this witch-hunt of our N Ireland veterans. Mrs May infuriated them by not really answering the question, or seemingly not understanding what exactly was being asked. Corbyn chose education as the ball to kick today, and pressed home his six points with some determination. Then came the expected Statement on her bold new Bill. Of course, because she'd told all and sundry yesterday, there were no surprises, just a weary resignation that this PM just does not get it. She ploughed on, as she always has, refusing to see the disastrous path she is walking along. I was called by the Speaker, and made two points to correct what Mrs May had said earlier. First, she said it was now up to MPs to decide whether they want a customs union or second referendum. No it's not, I said. The people had chosen to leave the EU, so MPs have no legitimate right to vote on these matters. Second, she told Sir John Redwood in an earlier question that we could not have left the EU on 29 March as MPs would not let her do so. That is blatantly wrong. We could have left the EU on that date and there was nothing to prevent that happening except a Remain Prime Minister and many Remain Cabinet members. This lack of integrity is really appalling and worrying. Labour withdrew its two debates on inequality and discrimination in sport as the afternoon was taken up with Statements by the PM and another on British Steel. So, we were on a one line whip in the afternoon. I worked through steadily to later afternoon and then headed to Dorset. What a week!
