Theresa May is launching a fresh push to convince MPs to back her Brexit deal as they begin five days of debate.

The prime minister cancelled a vote on her deal last month at the last minute to avoid a humiliating defeat.

She is hoping new proposals on Northern Ireland will change enough MPs' minds to save the deal.

But the DUP have already rejected the plans - and rebel Tories are planning a move that could give MPs more say over what happens if her deal is rejected.

The MPs, headed by former Tory ministers Oliver Letwin and Dominic Grieve, helped inflict a defeat on the government on Tuesday on an amendment aimed at making it more difficult to leave the EU without a deal.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46805269
You just couldn't make this stuff up....

She wins a confidence vote which means she can't be challenged for a further year so remains seriously stubborn and intransigent thereby running the risk of alienating more of her core supporters yet running the risk of bringing about a general election!!
