   @nigeldgreen I can't see her lasting long after this. I wonder if this will make her the shortest serving PM in history.

     @dadegroot @nigeldgreen At least this means that compromises will have to be made and May's hard Brexit should be off the table.

     @twistedlucidity @dadegroot @nigeldgreen But with no majority she can no longer steamroller through whatever the press demands

     @nigeldgreen @dadegroot @twistedLucidity Indeed. She's going to have to start making compromises before she can do anything.

     @twistedlucidity @dadegroot @nigeldgreen Parliament has a vote on the deal. The EU27 has already set out is position - nothing changes there

     @twistedlucidity @dadegroot @nigeldgreen She can try to use statutory instruments but her own backbenchers are much more likely to rebel.

     @andyc @dadegroot @twistedlucidity @nigeldgreen Agreed. Apparently Boris is already “sounding people out” about a leadership bid

     @andyc @dadegroot @twistedlucidity @nigeldgreen I would largely agree with that. He's also more pragmatic than he lets on.
