Rumour is circulating that May is going to capitulate and keep the entire UK in the Single Market to avoid checks between GB and NI in order to keep the DUP on side and get Labour support to defeat ERG supporting MPs.
The problem with that, as good as it sounds, is it basically removes any incentive for a second referendum that could see Article 50 cancelled before the March 29th Deadline.

She said exactly the same thing at the end of phase 1. This is not going to go down well if true.

I understand they want to play their cards close to their chests to avoid spooking investors or alienating public opinion but I think there may soon come a time when they are forced to lay those cards on the table. The panic of potentially tens of thousands of jobs up and leaving would surely eclipse any talk of "betrayal" that the hard-brexiteers could whip up.

There's no way it will be voted through parliament. We all know this. May has to talk in this rhetoric because she has to save face for her party and some Brexiteers.

I'm never quite sure how the SNP will swing on things like this. On the one hand cancelling Brexit is great for everyone, but allowing the gooseberry fool show to go through would be the biggest boost to Scottish Independence in generations as they could point to the mess and use it as a "look what they did against the will of the Scottish people" argument.
