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.

Theresa May has denied many things before and then gone on to do exactly what she denied. We may not instantly recall her denying that she would not hold an election but the memory of her saying that the vote on her deal would not be postponed is still fresh.
I think Brexiters need to accept the hard facts that there is a possibility of a second referendum...and also that they may not win it. I don't want another referendum to happen but I believe the chances of it happening are steadily growing as shown by recent developments.
