Add to that mix an incompetent guvmin and we get to the ridiculous situation where even prominent Leavers are opining that remaining is better than the current TB deal.

The UK is in real turmoil and much of the future is in Parliament’s hands. With Leave/Remain now united in rejecting TB’s folly, the crisis will only deepen.

However, the best bet, and it is a gamble, would be for a new PM to call the EU’s bluff, go for no deal and see if the EU panic.
I would prefer to know what the deal is before jumping to the conclusion that no deal is the best option. All we have at present is media speculation.

If we feel that the proposed deal TM has negotiated is not good for the UK, then certainly, we go for the full monty. But it is too early to judge now.

Some of the stuff people are complaining about TM has already said no PM would agree to. We shouldn't be losing our nerve at this stage in particular. For God's sake, let the woman see what she can do before we criticise her. For the umpteenth time, this is a negotiation! All these 'noises off' are a distraction and playing into Barnier's hands.
