Reportedly @DamianGreen and Michael Fallon both voted with Grieve and ostensibly against the government and @theresa_may. They are both May loyalists. So if true, what's not clear is if they think they are doing her a favour rather than embarrassing her. Byzantine

Theresa May's first words now the debate has started.
Quote:
Back in the Commons May says delivering Brexit will require some compromise.
There are some who want a closer relationship with the EU. Some want to stay in. She says she respects them for saying what they think.
But what would this do for our politics if the views of the 52% who voted to leave are ignored, she says.
May says others want a more distant relationship with the EU. She does not agree, but she respects their view.
However, she says, we will not deliver a lasting Brexit if we do not guarantee a close security and trade relationship.
This argument has gone on long enough. It is corrosive to our politics. And life depends on compromise.
