Or perhaps this was the long game anyway, get right up to the end of March , have this huge majority of MP's vote against this agreement , and see if Europe blinks, who knows ,well the money traders do I guess ?
So "No Deal" is simultaneously kicked into the long grass and taken to the brink?

I see this morning's version of putting the country above a narrow political agenda involves May's commitment to speak to members of other political parties but not the Leader of the Opposition and set a series of red lines that immediately rule out some of the alternative options proposed to dig us out of the mess she created.

You would have thought last night's vote would have made the architects of this shambles, chastened not emboldened but it appears that a combination of intransigence, incompetence and petty party politicking is still the modus operandi of this government.
