History will not forgive May’s reckless push to the no-deal precipice | Polly Toynbee

The prime minister is being held hostage by Brexit hardliners. She does more damage every day she refuses to face them down

Just another Brexit day of dither, delay and dawdling. Just another humiliating defeat for Theresa May at the hands of the party within her party that she dare not confront. Clever Anna Soubry won a significant victory: the Conservative MP forced the government to agree to publish its no-deal advice – we shall now know what the cabinet knows. We shall see the full horror of the damage a no-deal Brexit would do to business and trade. Those who brought us to this pitch should remember that a day of judgment will come. Someday a judicial inquiry will expose the reckless Brexit chaos into which the Conservative party cast this country.
