It can all get so very confusing. Where do we stand?
Last week parliament adopted an amendment telling the government to go and find alternative arrangements to the Irish border.
What arrangements? Nobody knows. Theresa May is going to Northern Ireland, and then a meeting with Juncker on Thursday.

The likely result is that Theresa May reaches a dead end.
Europe and Ireland won't let go the backstop, and parliament won't accept it.
If she's got nothing new, and she's failed the mandate she instructed parliament to give her, she will have to resign.

If she's got nothing new, and she's failed the mandate she instructed parliament to give her, she will have to resign.
She was never going to get a withdrawal agreement through parliament, and she was always going to resign.
All she's done is waste two years and about 2 billion quid.

She'll resign on Saturday, then. Goes to Europe on Thursday and gets rebuffed. Spends all Friday fretting and ringing round. Cabinet tells her it's over. Decides to resign Friday night and announces Saturday lunchtime.
