Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain is in a desperate race to make the defeat of her Brexit plan a routine setback rather than a historic failure https://t.co/YS5Qtfklum

NEW I understand Hilary Benn will pull his amendment in the morning which could have mitigated the Government's expected defeat.
It looks like Labour are going for maximum damage – ahead of tabling a vote of no confidence tomorrow evening. It's going to be a big 24 hours. #Brexit— Christopher Hope (@christopherhope) January 14, 2019
The Prime Minister has failed. Two and a half years of negotiations have produced a Lose-Lose compromise that will make us poorer, less sovereign and leave us isolated in the world. I will not vote for this deal, or any other, because Brexit is a con and a historic mistake. https://t.co/j1gOgzbB9G

Am told that on Friday civil servants working on Theresa May's deal were emailed and told work on it was being "paused" and were reallocated to urgent "no deal" work. Sounds like she's giving up?

Theresa May says explicitly for the first time what has been obvious since June 24 2016: that no deal boosts Scottish independence and Irish republicanism. "This is the real threat to our union.”

Lest anyone doubt the unimpeachable intentions of these senior statesmen at this grave moment in British history, they reassure us in the last line:
"It would… damage the Conservative Party's prospects at the next election."

This implies UKG should chase irrational DUP. Real question is why DUP have acted irrationally, and turned back on a mechanism that could give NI an advantage as a bridge between GB & EU. Most people, businesses & civic society see this, as does EU. https://t.co/jjruMnbpeV

The Backstop offered a real game changing moment for NI Economy but the DUP have tried to scuttle any attempt to bring more FDI and jobs to NI. They now are hell bent on pushing a Hard Brexit. The DUP have officially become the Anti Business party in NI. https://t.co/XGQsDsqfRS
