    Do you think Parliament will ultimately back May's deal?

    As things currently stand, the odds look slim.

    However:

    1) perhaps she'll be able to gain some further concessions or assurances, from the EU, that will placate the ERG and even the DUP

    2) maybe, when push comes to shove, Tory MPs won't be able to stomach voting with Corbyn et al against the Government

    3) maybe some Labour MPs will defy Corbyn and vote for it to prevent a no-deal

    No, no, and no.

    Hard Brexit and chlorinated chicken.

      1) slim, as they wanted legal assurances, to which the EU said nein, only woolly words.

      2) rock & a hard place for some, leave constituency MPs especially, but most should.

      3) probably right, but how many is the question.

      Still break out the and enjoy the fireworks in the HoC, and some in the HoL

        Lots of No 10 planted stories in the last few days going along the lines of "a tory grandee who was initially against the deal has told me he now sees it as totally fantastic".

        I think she will lose big and try to run it again with a couple of weeks to go. She is hoping to pull the SNP and about 50 labour into supporting her.

        Problem is that everyone is now presenting their real no deal plans and they are all seem to be seriously short of doom.

          Oh and the SNP will support it if she confirms a Scottish referendum date before she leaves office.

          But it will have to be in secret as the Scottish tories will l go apetulip.

              I doubt that’ll happen, as the reasoning behind this deal is to try and keep the union together.

              Besides, the second fish (sic) minister of Scotland has been saying for some time, their economy needs more than simply May’s deal to ‘survive’, I.e. unbridled low-skilled immigration.

                    If Corbyn wins the next GE it's all going ahead as planned anyway.
