Unless or until Theresa May calls out the Brexit elite’s liars she’ll remain trapped like a rat in a wheel.

Running hard to avoid falling over is a bad choice for a Prime Minister who’ll know privately her unpopular, chaotic plan is a far worse deal for Britain than remaining in Europe.

Surrendering sovereignty to minimise economic damage is May’s cowardly compromise.

A braver PM would denounce forcefully the cost-free easy Britannia bonanza fabricated by fibbers Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage, then champion another referendum.

The uncomfortable home truths about stockpiling medicines and food as well as troops on the streets put into perspective the Leavers’ mythical £350million a week saving promise on the side of a bus.

Timid Theresa May doesn’t come clean because she’s afraid of insulting five Cabinet Brextremists organising against her including Michael Gove and a Liam Fox suddenly believing any deal’s better than no deal.

She might survive a no-confidence vote of Conservative MPs in the coming weeks.

But May is not strong and stable.

She is living to die another day and her botched plan is barely worth the name.

So a sovereign Parliament gains a glorious opportunity to take back control next month.

Jeremy Corbyn’s immediate task is to convince his Westminster waverers the choice isn’t May’s mess or accidentally crashing out of Europe without a lifeline.

Tory Leaver Zac Goldsmith declaring he’d have voted Remain in place of May’s mayhem.

Brexit paymaster Arron Banks said last Sunday he’d do the same.

They are rats abandoning the Quitter ship.

The 700,000 who marched in London for another referendum were mocked as the longest Waitrose queue in history yet Ukip MEP Patrick O’Flynn attracting just four people to his protest outside No 10 was another sign which camp has the momentum.

Time is running out but anything is possible before March 29 – an extension before departure, a referendum, a general election.

The only certainty is the future’s unpredictability.
