This comes from an FT email this morning:
Brexit is very clearly becoming a turf war for ministers who no longer feel themselves subject to prime ministerial authority.
And May, meanwhile, says nothing has changed:
What a shambles.
And what a sorry prospect for the UK as a result.

The UK is an international embarrassment.
That is exactly what I feared would happen following the election. Unfortunately it is also realistically the best I could have hoped for following the election. Despite finally having a party and policies I can broadly believe in I’m still voting for the least bad option.
Even if I put on my most partisan political hat on, I genuinely couldn’t have predicted such an awful approach to Brexit.
The Tory government’s pursuit of Brexit with no economic justifications is identical to it’s fake news” about the sovereign UK government having no Magic Money Tree despite the implications of the very large QE programme. Both reveal a mind-boggling inability to reason which in turn is propped up by a large percentage of voters with the same inadequacy. If any explanation can be pointed to for the UK’s decline it’s that the nation has become substantially “dumbed down” a consequence of parents and an educational system that no longer teach children to think independently and analytically. This has to be changed!
I still don’t believe there’ll be a Brexit. When they think of the negotiating team the Tories are likely to field, if ever, the EU must picture a pack of rats fighting in a sack, which is what they are right now. How can you negotiate with that? You can’t. I imagine the EU will collapse before we leave it.
