That’s because the only meaningful outcome from today is
we will not leave the European Union on March 29th.

Myself, I can see nothing in the speech May has just delivered that justifies the view that a referendum is on the way. The rhetoric about the weary public and it being “high time” politicians made the decisions are aimed squarely at the Commons.
I know you don’t like it but today, with the EU’s help, she’s called it. It’s time for MPs to show their hand. The game is almost over.

The fact she’s talking to the population at all, along with advertising of her deal on social media, when it’s got nothing to do with us means she’s preparing for the possibility.
The game is only just beginning. Getting past March 29th is a huge psychological win for remainers who will be emboldened that the hurdle has passed. There’s no meaningful reason June 30th is any more than another arbitrary, and artificial, deadline.
The one way May can guarantee her legacy is to win a public vote on her vote vs remain.
