It's quite an achievement, securing a deal which everyone else thinks is crap, for varying reasons. This will probably go down in history as Mays "Neville Chamberlain" moment.

Did anybody elect the MI6 and defence chiefs? Unelected bureaucrats (and an unelected Lord, at that!) telling our elected representatives what to do. Traitors and saboteurs.
