These people aren’t the shambles they are made out to be. This is deliberate. It’s testing the water moving towards “we had no choice but to put it back to the people .

That’s fanciful. Politicians equivocate, as subtly as possible, when they’re trying to say one thing while planning to do something else. They don’t launch a broadside at a former prime minister and accuse him of insulting the office he held, for suggesting the course of action she (supposedly, secretly) wants to take.
Face facts ... May knows Brexit will be her one legacy and she’s hell bent on delivering it. There won’t be a second referendum and there won’t be any significant departure from the deal on the table. She’s going to run the clock down, effectively playing chicken with the legislature, to see if there’s any way of getting the deal done when No Deal is the only real, imminent alternative.
