Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports 5.44pm post the following, " All things considered, May seemed surprisingly confident. She did not say anything especially new or revealing about the Chequers plan, and Labour MPs were very critical, suggesting that its shelf life may turn out to be very limited. (The EU will not accept it without changes anyway but, even if they were to, Brexiter opposition means May would need opposition support to get it through the Commons - which on the basis of what is being said today, she does not have.) "
Lets Get Real:
In Guardian speak this means that PM May had a good day in the House of Commons. One would think that a BAD day could have been a disaster, but it seems that there are not enough votes for a no confidence vote in the PM, thus PM has struck some luck. Also she has bought the Cabinet back in to line, no more leaks or Ministers thinking that they can say what the like and with no reaction. There is old saying, is better to be lucky than right, PM May might have the prize, just lucky!!
