Another snippet from the Sunday Times on UK PM May and the parliamentary vote on her Brexit plan draft
- Prospect of winning parliament vote 'look bleak'
And, get this:
- Ministers say Downing Street officials have discussed an equally dark strategy to twist arms. 'No 10's plan is to encourage a crash in financial markets after losing a first vote in the hope this stampedes MPs into voting for it a second time', a source who has discussed the issue with May's aides said. 'That would be a kamikaze approach"
The source was not named. I wonder if it is one of the challengers (Sunday Times have a profile up the likely lot, pic below).
No challenge has been issued. Despite 4 of the 5 being males they do not appear to have a pair between them.
