Election or Referendum might be only solution for Brexit impasse

According to The Times, Philip Hammond, the chancellor, will tell the cabinet the government has to make its own compromise proposal or admit parliament has failed “and put it back to the people in a referendum” since the party and the country cannot afford an election.

Mr Hammond said on Sophy Ridge on Sunday on Sky News last month that a second referendum was a “perfectly coherent proposition” that “deserves to be considered”.

There is also speculation that Mrs May could bring back a vote on her deal to the Commons for a fourth time and link it with a confidence motion in the government, which many MPs believe would be a kamikaze move.
