By Rowena Mason @ TheGuardian.com, May 5

[....] More than 100 opposition MPs, including 66 from Labour, said at the weekend they would not tolerate a “Westminster stitch-up” on a Brexit deal without a second referendum.

But a number of MPs close to the People’s Vote campaign believe there are actually more like 150 to 180 Labour MPs out of 229 who will refuse to back a deal struck with May unless there is a confirmatory vote.

Theresa May, at the podium at Number 10, says she will seek a further extension of Article 50, which will end when a deal is approved in Parliament.

Irony of Brexit is that the UK ever more resembles the politically unstable European countries it used to mock (Italy, Greece etc).

I find it utterly astounding that any MP would fundamentally disagree with putting a final confirmatory vote back to the public.

I think the No Dealers can taste it - and it’s unclear what can be done to stop it happening. Horrifying
