  It's almost funny. May's deal was never going to be what the knuckledraggers wanted from the moment she accepted Barnier's edict that the negotiations had to take place in 2 distinct phases - the first being "we'll tell you what we want for you to leave" and second being "we'll tell you what you can have afterwards". They screamed and howled and bellowed the word principle at every possible opportunity.
  
  Now the reality has dawned that there is no better deal than staying as we are. Most polls show that the majority are coming round to that point of view. So now the knuckledraggers principles start to evaporate as they fear they might lose their precious all together.
  
  It reminds of the one of the Marx brother quotes which I can only paraphrase - these are my principles and if you don't like them then I can always find some more.
  
  Wait until round two starts and people really start to understand what leaving the single market and customs union means.
