Brexit vote
  • Chances of a no-deal are very unlikely because of the bill passed at the Commons
  • Only option left open to May was to seek Labour votes
  • Says that all politicians are having to compromise on Brexit

Well, the vote yesterday basically compels May to seek an extension beyond 12 April but it's down to European leaders now to decide if they approve of that. But chances are they will. All that being said though, we're no closer to a Brexit solution at the moment with cross-party talks rumoured to not generate any breakthrough.

If that fails, you have to wonder what other options are there left for Theresa May at this point if she insists on leaving with some form of a deal.
