I welcome a referendum on whether we want the May deal or not. That’s ok.

But if we vote “not” there would have hen need to be yet another referendum, where the choice would have to be hard Brexit or remain.
I agree it’s not a choice, but you have to remember these people wish to fix the result and frame it as “informed democracy”.

Labour will try to pin it on the Conservatives for getting us into this mess, blame will go in the other direction for not backing the deal. If the blame falls “equally” in electoral terms both main parties are no better/worse off. It’s a tightrope, but you can see Corbyn and McDonnell playing it well, while allowing Starmer and others to test the water.

It’s her prerogative if she wants embarrassed twice.
