After a European Court of Justice ruling today, it appears that it is within Prime Minister Theresa May's gift to unilaterally revoke Article 50, thus stopping dead in its tracks.
Alas, it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Instead, they are plodding along.
Today, May faced hours of questions in parliament after postponing the House of Commons vote of her Brexit deal. The session was an insight into the shambles that is Brexit, with dozens of MPs taking to their feet to criticise the PM.
At one point, Labour MP Rupa Huq compared May's decision to call off the vote, which was scheduled to take place tomorrow: an act of "premature parliamentary ejaculation."
Even weirder, May's response to Huq was to tell her that if she were to look closely, she would see that May is not capable of premature ejaculation.

While May's intention is to seek "further assurances" from the EU on the backstop, it doesn't appear that the EU is prepared to make any meaningful concessions to the deal that is set to go before parliament.
Make it stop.
