Efforts to build a cross-party consensus should have begun much earlier – not when the country was looking nervously over the cliff edge

Pro-Europeans want to opt for a customs union, and are threatening to resign if May goes for a no-deal exit on 12 April. In perfect symmetry, Brexiteer ministers are among about 200 Tory MPs who have written to May urging her to opt for no-deal, and would resign if she swallowed a customs union. Eurosceptics warn this move would split the Tories in two, in a repeat of the division caused by Robert Peel’s repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846.

Opinion: Parliament has voted against all Brexit options – helping Theresa MayNot a single option came anywhere near the 320 votes needed for an overall majority. The most popular was Margaret Beckett's proposal for a referendum on any Brexit deal, which won 268 votes, 52 votes short Someone needs to! The bare truth is the British are unable to live healthy lives in the Uk without being exploited. If theresa_may doesn’t know what to do she should of stood down, now we are just complicit in destroying our next generations future as we did the last. Do us all a Fcuking favour and RepealArticle50Now 🧐 The only option not rejected so far is a long extension to allow a General Election. The PM has lost authority and the government is unable to govern. It’s time to freshen things up.
