I think that's the trouble - lack of compromise. Everyone needs to accept that the ideal vision they may have had in their head for the UK post 29/3 won't happen, get over it and find a compromise. Full credit to TM and JC for realising this.
What has made Theresa May realise that no-deal is unacceptable? Sky News has an interesting article. A relevant quote:
Quote:
One of her inner circle said: "She's fixated on the union. No-deal clearly puts huge strain on the Irish border and the consequence of that is a border poll becomes a real possibility."She thinks it would be high risk and if it succeeded there would be a great impetus to Scotland. It could be that serious in terms of the breakup of the UK."
Two other government sources told Sky News they believed the union was the decisive factor in Mrs May's thinking. One said: "It was the union. The prospect of direct rule and some of the decisions that would need to be made in that situation are very unpalatable." Another source added that the prospect of a border poll in Northern Ireland was "very real" and something that other cabinet ministers were also concerned about.

Spot on.
Good article (collection of tweets) here calling out Piers Morgan on his false assertion that people voted for a no-deal Brexit.
