«Breaking News» HENRY DEEDES sees Theresa May deliver a final push before MPs vote on her Brexit deal

And so to Grimsby. Home to the UK’s busiest port, the Mighty Mariners footie fans and the best fish and chips you’re likely to scoff anywhere on these fair isles.

Local weather experts warned of chill winds with a strong chance of storms.

They didn’t know the half of it.

Theresa May was here for her final push. Her last hurrah. This, as they say, was it.

Theresa May delivered a speech at the Orsted A/S manufacturing facility in Grimsby, yesterday

On Tuesday, MPs will vote again on the prime minister's much-maligned Brexit deal

On Tuesday, MPs vote again on her much-maligned Brexit deal. All signs point to another whopping defeat. After that, who knows? By then we shall be splooshing helplessly in uncharted waters.

The PM had travelled to these parts because the populace of the north east of Lincolnshire voted to leave the EU by seven votes to three.

This is where the Brexit dream began. This is where the PM hoped it could be sealed. Her message was as clear as a freshly hooked mackerel’s peeper: ‘Let’s. Get. It. Done.’

Our setting was a hangar belonging to a wind farm. Boxes all around us. One, containing life-vests. Another full of tension pumps. All rather apt in the circumstances.

As we awaited her arrival, her chief of staff, Gavin Barwell, worked the room, flashing grins and pressing flesh. An unnatural schmoozer, Gavin. He’s grown a bit of a paunch. All those late-night negotiations can do that to a man.

At the risk of being unchivalrous, Mrs May looked haggard. I know, I know, when was the last time she didn’t?

But yesterday she appeared almost wraith-like as she chewed the chilly air.

Her clunky chain hung loosely around her neck, her slight frame almost swamped in her stripey blazer. She is painfully thin.

The speech, pictured, began with a pop at MPs who continue to believe they can prevent Brexit, writes Henry Deedes

Her speech was no cri de coeur. The Prime Minister does not go in for chest-beating. Nor, most nobly, does she beg or whine at her lot. It was calm, measured. Vote for my deal, she said, or things could get really ugly. Is she resigned to defeat on Tuesday? Almost certainly. But on she battles regardless.

She started with a pop at MPs who continue to believe they can prevent Brexit.

The decision the British people took was to leave, she said. That is what we must do. Many people who voted for Brexit, she pointed out, hadn’t previously voted for years. If MPs failed to act on the referendum result, why would people bother voting again?

   

More from Henry Deedes for the Daily Mail...

Then a replay of the greatest hits of her deal. An end to freedom of movement; being able to negotiate our own trade deals; taking back control of our agriculture and fishing policies; the opportunity to tell the European Court of Justice to naff off. All of these Good Things, she reminded her audience, could be revoked or watered down by the EU stiffs should Britain end up delaying our withdrawal.

Amazonian energy minister Claire Perry, who’d also made the trip north, gave a sharp jab of the head.

There was a dig at Jeremy Corbyn who had promised to vote down the Government’s deal without even bothering to read it. Does he read anything?

Despite agreeing to cross-party talks, she said Mr Corbyn had made only one hour available to her advisers for discussions. Too busy weeding his allotment, perhaps.

She was polite about the Brussels boobies, saying there was ‘mutual respect and co-operation’ during negotiations.

Is it me or could the PM have been a little less respectful and co-operative during negotiations? Oh well, toooo late for all that now, I suppose.

And with one more final ‘Let’s. Get. It. Done’ rally cry, Mrs May set off home to Downing Street.

She had done her best. Perhaps that’s as much as we can hope for. Sou’westers on, people. I fear next week’s set to get very stormy.

Theresa May was here for ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
