Is Brexit a deadman walking?

The dramatic shift last weekend in Labour’s position on Brexit – to one where it backs membership of the single market and customs union during a transition period after Brexit, and possibly for good – puts May in far greater danger than before. It raises the real prospect that a pro-single market amendment tabled by a Tory rebel could attract enough Labour, SNP, Lib Dem and other support to bring about a government defeat. Anti-hard Brexit Tory rebels will not back a Labour amendment, but Labour could very well back one from a Tory, if it is in line with its new policy.

Means nothing.
Right now you have 'remainers' trying to negotiate deals with countries who've been told to make it as hard as possible to achieve.
And even if they do, it still has to be ratified by the rest of the member states.
The REAL problems start once we actually leave.

Whatever the question over who prefers what, it's an irrelevance.
