BATTLE OF BREXIT: THERESA MAY WILL 'SHOVE IT' TO DONALD TRUMP AND THE BRITISH PEOPLE THE WEEK OF TRUMP'S VISIT
This Is London.....
By JP Morgan's estimation British Prime Minister Theresa May is gone by the end of June. But that is certainly not a surprise. Mrs. May has already indicated her intention to resign contingent on getting her "Brexit" plan through Parliament.
In the face of massive public outrage over her proposal, called everything from "fake" to a "sellout" or even "treason", May is trying to get Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn to help.
She met Corbyn again Tuesday night and put out the word that the week of June 3rd is when she will attempt to again push her plan through.
Prime Minister May operates in a volatile political environment with a friend of President Trump, Nigel Farage, emerging as her main nemesis in recent weeks.
His Brexit Party set to sweep to victory in the May 23rd elections for the European Parliament with more than a third of the popular vote pushing May's Conservative Party into fourth place.
Donald Trump has been in contact with Nigel Farage since his campaign for President in 2016 and urged the British government to give Farage some responsibility or position in the government.
Mrs. May and her team have shunned him and refused to bring Farage on board.
President Trump has also said that the deal May cut with the EU is a bad deal.
So one can argue that her decision to move forward on the week of June 3rd when Donald Trump will make a state visit to the UK indeed sends a powerful message to the President of the United States.
In addition its worth noting that British intelligence operatives were extensively involved in efforts against Mr. Trump in 2016 that led to the Robert Mueller investigation of alleged "Russian collusion" at a time when Theresa May was Prime Minister.
May continues to pursue cooperation with anti-Trumper Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Opposition, hoping to find Labor votes with any Conservative ones she can still scrape up for her highly unpopular plan.
Never Trumpers of the Corbyn camp will be out in force the week of June 3rd to express their hostility to Trump, no doubt.
One other wrinkle here is the recent firing of Defense Minister Gavin Williamson for spilling the beans on the plans of Mrs. May's government to allow Chinese investment through the Huawei telecom firm in critical UK infrastructure, its 5G system.
Neoconservatives on both sides of the Atlantic like US Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and British MP Tom Tugendhat warning of the security threat posed by Huawei involvement in the UK's 5G system.
President Trump and his representatives like the US Ambassador to the UK have offered a generous free trade deal if the UK opts for a clean break from the EU as in a "No Deal" Brexit but Theresa May appears determined to drive through a "Brexit" that disguises the tying the UK to Brussels and Berlin economically and militarily, among other things.
It also appears that May is trying to help her cash strapped deeply in debt country by looking even further eastwards to China for financial support.
Nigel Farage, who admires the USA, is trying to get his country moving forward by creating a closer economic connection with the United States.
There is a large body of public opinion behind his point of view but Mrs. May has her head in the sand as far as that is concerned..
She wants her people to "assume the position" and take what's coming to them instead of getting what they voted for in the 2016 referendum, a clean break away from the European Union.
