(2.4.2019) When Theresa May stood in 10 Downing Street earlier this evening and announced that she would try and break the Brexit logjam by liaising with Jeremy Corbyn, she gave the impression of speaking with Cabinet backing. However, the full story is now emerging. In a stormy seven-hour meeting, minister after minister protested at her proposal to use Labour votes for a softer Brexit ( potentially a customs union) in order to pass a deal. As many as 14 ministers said they’d rather keep no deal on the table. It seems that only about ten supported her final plan.
