No more kicking the Brexit can down the road; Theresa May faces the test at 14:00 GMT today at Downing Street.
Ministers and Members of Parliament will vote on the Brexit “deal” that Theresa May has managed to secure with the European Union. Tory party and Theresa May’s own DUP are experiencing unprecedented divisions amongst the party members themselves.
The clear predicament is evidently complex. It is not just the cabinet’s approval that May has to secure. December 2018 holds a very dramatic vote, in fact, more dramatic than the cabinet vote; the MPs will have their say.
With the departure of David Davis and Boris Johnson, May cannot endure yet another withdrawal. Yesterday, DUP leader Arlene Foster said that her party’s desire for a deal on Brexit will not be superseded by a willingness to accept any deal.
“An agreement which places new trade barriers between Northern Ireland and Great Britain will fundamentally undermine the constitutional and economic integrity of the United Kingdom. That is not acceptable”.
The DUP is opposing, the Tory’s are skeptical, and MPs are locking and loading for the December vote.
The Irish Back-Stop remains a mind boggler. A political Rubix Cube that awaits and ingenious solution.
