I thought the same about her at one point Graham. Was she about to pull a rabbit out of the hat. Then I decided that the rabbit was no way near the hat to be pulled out from.

There will be no rabbits.

Until the deal is signed everything is part of the game and every public utterance is just PR/posturing/bombast/bluff...

What only Mrs May knows is where her real "walk away - no deal" line is, faced with a pitifully weak negotiating hand and if observers knew what she really thinks she would be useless as a negotiator.

So let's hope she isn't .
