Yep. Which was pretty much what Anna Soubry said yesterday. Quite a balancing act now for Mrs May: The Scottish Conservatives, Anna Soubry/Dominic Grieve etc v The DUP, Jacob Rees-Mogg/John Redwood and the other right-wing oddballs.
Echoes historically of Harold Wilson's situation in 1975 - his Cabinet were pro-EEC, his party was against it. And we were already in. His solution? A referendum. As we know these always work nicely...............Seriously May's situation is about 500 times more complex than that. If she wasn't a Tory, hadn't called that Election and hadn't done a deal with the DUP I'd be feeling (almost) sorry for her. Could she have the leadership to (finally) face down the rabid Tory Leavers and go for the Ruth Davidson solution? Indeed could Davidson emerge from this shambles as the new Tory leader?
