Two major cabinet ministers and several junior ministers resign. MPs in Parliament almost united in condemnation of the Prime Minister for over two hours. Jacob Rees-Mogg attempts to accelerate the cascade of letters to the chair of the Tory 1922 Committee, to reach the 48 letters to trigger a Tory leadership election.
Whatever you might think of her politics, hats off to Theresa May for remaining calm and collected on the outside as she patiently attempts to push through the withdrawal agreement with the EU.
There seems to be a lot of hot air being emitted on wanting to renegotiate a better deal. The EU sees this as the completed agreement, which they will agree to, if the UK can get its house in order. Renegotiation is not an option.
The Prime Minister sees the available choices as a trinary option, the proposed withdrawal agreement, a hard Brexit or not leaving the EU, with the emphasis on the first two. Sadly remaining is still not a major option in Parliament. So the gamble by her is - take my agreement or leap of the cliff into a hard Brexit.
We are at the edge of the crumbling Brexit cliff. Current voices seem to argue for 'Jump'.
