I see no reason why Theresa May needs to put any further votes to Parliament if the Withdrawal Agreement is voted down. Just let the no-deal Brexit happen. The legislation is already passed and Article 50 is in place.

It was Theresa May's idea to have this bridge between membership and non-membership. Parliament either accepts it or they don't.

On another note, popcorn tomorrow, folks! In the afternoon, Geoffrey Cox, the attorney-general, will give his statement on the government's legal advice on the withdrawal agreement.
I don't see 'no Brexit' as an option. As you intimate, this threat was aimed at the 'hard' Brexiteers.

Before May's idea about a transitional arrangement, most people just thought we would be leaving, full stop. So if the Withdrawal Agreement doesn't pass, we are just back to our original expectations.

The Withdrawal Agreement has certainly succeeded in muddying the waters, but it hasn't reduced the enthusiasm of those who voted to leave.
