Two senior Tory lawmakers reported to be ready to resign if May fails to change Brexit direction

The Guardian reports

The report mentions that Justine Greening and Dominic Grieve has said that they would not be able to support the government under a no-deal scenario.

This is when things start to get real tricky for Theresa May and the government. While the news here will do little to harm her plans for a Brexit deal, the fact that majority support for the government is waning will be a bigger risk if we move towards any confidence motions in the future.

From yesterday, after the resignation of three Tory lawmakers:

Currently, with DUP support, May commands a support of 327 MPs but the resignation here would reduce that to just 324 MPs. Counting out the speaker, a majority support in parliament is 322 MPs so this is bringing us closer to that tipping point on the scale.
