Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:-
“The betrayal of Brexit has taken another stride forward with Mrs May’s further grovelling plea to the EU to stay even longer.
“Democracy is being shredded by the PM. With the biggest democratic mandate in our history we instructed Parliament and Government to leave. Three years later the political elite remain in defiance and connive by every conceivable dodge to subvert the will of the people. Such might fit exactly with the EU’s contempt for National will, but in this UK cradle of democracy it is an indelible stain of totalitarian rejection of the people’s vote.
“Instead of abasing herself again before Brussels, Mrs May should do the nation her greatest favour by simply resigning. Hers is now an irrecoverable legacy of failure.”
