It's very unlikely there is a Parliamentary mandate for Theresa May's deal. When staring down the barrel, and knowing we haven't adequately prepared for the consequences of No Deal, the can will be kicked down the road.

The alternative is to take the blame for lower GDP, food shortages, queues at ports and all the effects of the lack of contingency planning in the last two years.
Not on this. There is a political mandate to leave the EU and I simply cannot envisage such a turnaround. There would be blood on the streets!

When TM makes clear that it's this deal or Brexit with no deal, MPs will realise that voting against the proposed deal would give them exactly what they don't want.

That realisation will ensure that Brexiteers vote against, but most MPs will vote for it, giving Theresa May the majority she needs.

It's not me living in a fantasy land, old chap.
