Predictably, the prime minister toughened her language after German Chancellor Angela Merkel's criticism of British reluctance to face the reality of Brexit.
"She says the UK has 'illusions' about the process and that the 27 member states of the European Union agree," Mrs May said. "We can see how tough those negotiations are going to be at times. Yet our opponents are already seeking to disrupt those negotiations - at the same time as 27 other European countries line up to oppose us."
The chancellor has a valid point about British delusions.
But nothing like a bit of bashing the Germans to get the British public going. Beyond the campaign, Mrs May needs to realise she needs to work with the rest of the EU to achieve her goal. Election rhetoric won't be much use then.
Rhetoric will be little use to May in Brexit talks - Independent.ie
