Remain is entering the public discourse from people who last week would not have mentioned it. There's four and a half months to go, a lot of mudslinging and a bad deal on the table.

When it comes to staring down the barrel MPs will vote to delay, at minimum, leaving the European Union.
Whatever Alistair Burt may think, TM is not obliged to do anything on Brexit if Parliament reject the deal (except prepare for the no-deal Brexit).

As for the Daily Mail, I still say that was insignificant, given that they were using TM's own words. And she only even mentioned that to make the hard line Brexiteers think before they voted. However, despite that, she has said on numerous occasions that we are leaving in 2019.
