For all my frustration with corbyn his tactics have won through, he has may by the proverbials. What does he do next though ? What concessions can he force from her at this late hour ?
If there is a vote of no confidence and that vote does not go her way, wouldn't that force a GE? Or would the DUP cave and stick with her despite the Irish border question issues they have? I would assume they are enjoying their moment in the limelight!!
The DUP are a bunch of bigots and flat earthers who should be having zero influence on the people of britain's future regarding this issue. They barely have 300k votes to their name. Of course now they know that may has taken the only possible path she could and arranged a backstop with no time limit that effectively ends with them in a separate arrangement to the UK they are going tonto. I think its fair to say relations between them and the gov have taken a turn for the worse, but I cant see them help corbyn in any way either.
A leadership challenge seems likely now, but I'm not sure at all that the brexiters have the numbers to defeat may.
It looks like may has offered corbyn a chance to add amendments to her deal before the final vote to try and push it over the line, but whether that could work or not or how the EU would view it I don't know !
