Brexit: Danger has not passed for Theresa May

BBC

More than 20 MPs have put their names out there publicly calling on her to go and screaming protests at her Brexit deal. They might not get their confidence vote. Even if they do, they might not get enough support to oust her.

But it seems impossible for those who have put their names out there to vote for the Brexit deal in a few weeks time.

With the DUP bristling with rage about the deal and how it was arrived at, and very little sign of a cavalry of Labour MPs riding to the rescue, the number of public protests from those Tory MPs makes it seem like Theresa May's agreement is doomed.

In that regard, how on earth does the government plan to get it through? Can they?

Analysts say that a Hard Brexit likely destroys the British economy, so citizens revoting on Brexit becomes the only sane option.

But even if British votes vote to stay, which is highly likely, Britain's standing in the EU will be permanently damaged, plus, a lot of companies have moved some operations to the European continent and may not come back.

Maybe the DU people closer to this can provide some insight.

Irish peace may also be put into jeopardy.

Merkel has proposed an EU army. Where does Britain fall on that issue?

It's a mess.
