New Brexit delay is the final confirmation of Theresa May's failure as a Prime Minister

THE new Brexit postponement is the final confirmation of Theresa May’s failure. She must now accept the game is up.

She has done her best. But she had one job and has not delivered on it. Nor can she. She has no workable plan to do so.

There is no deal the Prime Minister and Corbyn could cook up that would secure a majority. Scores of Labour MPs will rebel, maybe even quit, unless they get a second referendum which Mrs May must never accept.

And Tories will reject the ­customs union Corbyn wants, especially since it is a figment of Keir Starmer’s imagination.

There can be no UK-EU union where Britain has a say over trade ­policy, insists French President Macron.

Mrs May could have a fourth vote on her own deal. But a foolishly intransigent ERG hardcore will never back it.

And why would Remainers do so now?

They can just use the Brexit delay to plot a second referendum which they will skew against 17.4million Leave voters.

The Tory Party is in meltdown. The Government is paralysed, impotent and plummeting in the polls, as The Sun predicted it would if it failed on Brexit.

Their only hope, and Britain’s — since the alternative is Marxism and poverty — is a new leader. With a new Cabinet, new energy, new ideas for tackling our problems, more voter appeal and, we hope, some new Brexit strategy.

After last night, what is Mrs May waiting for? She cannot survive long.

It is surely better to make a dignified and voluntary exit while she still can.

All change

OUR political parties need new names.

The Conservatives aren’t conservative. Labour sneers at the working class.

Most laughable is Change UK, the new vehicle for Labour and Tory defectors.

Change doesn’t come bigger than Brexit. But they violently reject that. They are passionate about the status quo.

They wouldn’t even change the Government, knowing their constituents would change THEM at a snap election.

All they really want is to change BACK to Blair’s era, or Cameron’s.

Voters are sick of the lies politicians have told, Remainers in particular.

Honesty really would make a change.

Cop surrender

POLICE forces short of manpower prioritise certain crimes. We get that.

In London, the Met has to target the explosion of violence. We get that too.

But the staggering drop in criminals caught via CCTV or forensics indicates a force that has given up on burglary.

Meanwhile it has 900 “specialist hate crime investigators”. Real hate crime is appalling. But how many are probing Twitter insults? Or wolf-whistling?

And why is hate crime more traumatic than having your home ransacked and your valuables stolen?
