Editorial: The UK ought not be precipitously hassled out of the EU by a Conservative party on the verge of a nervous breakdown

Crucially she lost, once again, the “meaningful vote” on her deal to leave the European Union, though it was by a smaller margin than the record defeat she suffered in January. Mrs May’s inability to secure a majority for her withdrawal agreement suggests that her command over parliament is evaporating.
