A Brexit war is looming in Theresa May’s Conservative party

The Prime Minister has recognized what many have been saying for weeks — that there’s no majority for her deal in Parliament.

In offering talks with the opposition Labour Party — and, crucially, offering to accept the result of any vote in Parliament for an alternative Brexit plan — May has also recognized that she will never be able to persuade her supposed allies in the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party, nor a hard core of Brexiteers in her own Conservative Party.
