Guardian: Reports " Theresa May defeated on Brexit again as ERG Tories abstain..PM defeated by 303 votes to 258, plunging hopes of uniting her party around renegotiated deal into chaos "
Lets Get Real:
The HARD BREXIT supporters are playing a very RISKY game, the PRIZE is leaving the EU, the economic side can wait, IF the PM can get a EXIT out of the Irish Backstop the Hard Brexit supporters have to support the PM. Otherwise the PM might be forced to agree to the demands of those that want a SOFT BREXIT, or of the Labour Party or worse have a 2nd Brexit vote. The PM can show the EU that they have to move, otherwise the UK could be heading for a NO DEAL BREXIT, that would mean that the EU would not get its 39 billion. The crunch vote will come at the end of February, the HARD BREXIT supporters can not seek 100% political purity when it comes to Brexit, if they do that they could LOSE Brexit. This blog is a hard brexit supporter but also a Conservative, take your winnings and then after PM May resigns gets a Brexit PM in to No 10 Downing Street.
