Kabuki Theatre: Theresa May Takes Control DExEU (none / 1)
After David Davies [no leeway in negotiations] and Dominic Raab [shaking hands with Barnier and quick exit] it's Theresa May, led by her personal assistant Ollie Robbbins as I have written above.

More steps taken by PM May these past days corroborated my analysis May would go on a full attack against the EU. In full control [of her armada] May will no take no prisoners in the coming weeks. She will attempt to split a few countries away from Brussels in a divisive attempt to put blame across the Channel for the disaster about to happen.    

    "Robespierre was elected to the Estates General convened in 1789 by
    King Louis XVI to deal with the Royal Court's ongoing financial crisis."

May's inner circle of trustworthy persons is getting quite small as pressure mounts.

Brexit: Raab 'sidelined' as May takes control of EU negotiations | The Guardian |

Theresa May has taken back control of crucial negotiations with Brussels from her new Brexit secretary just hours after the government published its white paper on withdrawing from the European Union.

The prime minister announced she would now lead the crunch talks with the EU while Dominic Raab, who was appointed two weeks ago, would be left in charge of domestic preparations, no-deal planning and legislation.

The move was swiftly characterised as a "sidelining" of the Brexit secretary by No 10's Europe unit, led by May's chief Brexit adviser, Olly Robbins, with the prime minister also taking officials from his department.

In a written statement on the last sitting day of the Commons before the summer recess, May said: "I will lead the negotiations with the European Union, with the secretary of state for Exiting the European Union deputising on my behalf.

...
Robbins, appearing alongside Raab at the Commons' Brexit committee, said: "The overall strategy for the conduct of these negotiations, she regards very much as her personal responsibility, now with the secretary of state very close at hand."
