Christopher Chope, the fella who came into the national consciousness after blocking the 'upskirting' law, has tabled a Private Members Bill to get rid of the Working Time Directive, which will, strangely enough, get a second reading in March 2019.
That's the start of the jobs first brexit. This is what its going to look like.

Dave davis and steve baker resign. Could prompt a leadership challenge as its now clear that may cannot deliver a brexit that is strong enough for the brexiteers or one that is weak enough for the remainers.
The cliff edge approaches.

And now bojo exits stage left as well.
A shambles, a tory civil war and the UK lurching towards a cliff edge brexit.

Boris Johnson is an absolute creton TBH! Apparently 'toasted' the end of the meeting at Chequers with no noted opposition to May's proposals. So he 'walks away' and then suddenly observes other Tory resignations. Then he decides to resign as well - so full of his own self-interest but the reality is he is perceived as a coward and a cad!

I suspect May would 'swot him away' like an irritating fly if he challenged her leadership mainly because he is not highly respected in parliamentary circles and no wonder.
Re May's soft brexit proposal (is it really a 'soft' brexit option!?) one has to logically ask the question, "Is it not more beneficial to just stick with the current EU arrangement rather than dilute it to a less advantageous position"?

English exceptionalism is about to get a massive xxxx wake up call.
The only deal that was ever on the table was out single market/customs union with a 2 year transition period and NI stays in the single market/customs union.
The brexiteer crew know the jig is up, in 10 days she takes her offer to brussels and if the EU don't throw her a bone she is toast and a brexiteer 'no deal' merchant will take up the slack.
At that point is when corbyn has to make his move.
