When transport minister and brother of BoJo, Jo Johnson, quit as transport minister on Friday calling for a second referendum there was an uptick on the Betfair betting market that one would take place before the end of 2019.
Interesting and highly related discussion overnight about whether May would deal with Corbyn to get the deal through; probably at the concession of a Spring general election.
I wonder if that's a couple of questions down the list though. Suppose the deal is agreed but the Whips tell her she's 40 votes short in the Commons. What does she do? Any options other than to reach out to Labour? I wonder if there's a deal to be done with the Caroline Flints rather than Corbyn. But would that be enough?
