If the 48 letters have been submitted won't Corbyn unleash the No confidence motion (which he will win with DUP support) and will we not have him in Downing Street by this time next week, given he has the support of all other parties (and Remain Conservative MPs) won't he then be able to get his Labour BREXIT deal through which seems to be membership of the Customs Union, free movement, acceptance of all EU social legislation, and submission to the ECJ (in fact staying in the EU by all but name).
I think that the extreme Brexiteers on this forum and in Parliament are busily throwing BREXIT away through their blinkered vision and complete lack of understanding of political reality.

I think that the majority of people are sick and tired of the political games being played with their future, their businesses, their livelihoods and heartily wish they had never heard of BREXIT and yes I voted for it too.

Labour under Corbyn very nearly won the last general election after the dreadful Conservative campaign which totally under estimated just how good a campaigner Corbyn is and how attractive his message is to Millennial voters. Jam today and the 4% rich will pay for it. Hasn't anyone looked at the opinion polls with Labour now 4% in the lead and gaining ground.
The David Scullion is forgetting the immense damage that would be done to jobs, the economy, the exchange rate by the uncertainty that would follow the rejection of the withdrawal agreement would cause, I shouldn't place any confidence in the fixed term Parliament Act - once the Prime Minister resigns Labour will sent blood and the combined opposition plus the DUP will make Governing impossible. Sooner rather than later a no confidence motion will be passed (probably without the government opposing it and we WILL end up with Corbyn in Downing Street. The result of that will be a No BREXIT OR an even more 'soft' one than proposed by Mrs May.
It is clear that Mrs May has done the best anyone can given that the Conservative party has two groups - one for whom no deal is good enough because they want a straight BREXIT the other for whom no deal is good enough because they wish to remain and see scuppering any deal as the best way to achieve it (in this they are supported by the Scot Nats, Lib Dems and a large part of Labour).
If the deal is rejected then we will clearly need to stay in the EU and that will cause a democratic crisis after the people voted to leave.
Conservatives need to start supporting the Government or accept an extreme left wing government led by Corbyn and staying in the EU customs Union permanently (being Labour's policy).

The British people have a deep sense of fairness and don't like seeing people hounded and victimised so there must be some possibility that Mrs May can claw her way back - but she does need to try and ANSWER questions, - she does need to start addressing some of the nonsense economics being preached by Corbyn - for example cuts in police numbers are a direct result of Labour's mismanagement of the economy when last in office not some fanciful, malicious Tory game , and she does need to allay the fears of her core supporters with better policies regarding social care (even if this means increasing taxation for the over 45s). She also needs to address the younger people by finding a better way to finance student tuition fees (I would suggest a graduate tax).
As has been pointed out even with the dreadful policies, dreadful campaigning (or none existent campaigning) she still managed 6% more votes, the highest Conservative vote since Mrs T and did actually WIN the election by a country mile past Labour.

If proof were needed that Johnson couldn't cut it as PM and leader it was all too obvious to see.
