Haven't been following proceedings too closely on account of man flu and now a vomiting toddler (good times), but May still needs a mandate for any deal, right? If parliament won't give her one only route out is referendum or a new parliament elected on clear manifestoes.
Or a new cross party deal that could actually deliver a majority (and was always the most sensible path for getting Brexit done without crashing the economy).
This could be over in a month if May said 'in the national interest we will deliver the Brexit that commands a majority of your elected representatives. That's parliamentary democracy in action. If anyone objects they're welcome to stand at next election on a Hard Brexit ticket.
I wish them good luck in securing a majority for their plans, even you Nigel.'
Of course, May will say or do none of these things, so the rolling crisis that is British public life continues.
