It has to be said that its almost as if Tory Rebels are too polite to challenge the PM.
But the stakes are getting higher and higher as it becomes more and more apparent that it is a clear choice between a chaotic no deal situation or a BINO and there is no alternative to that.
If the Tory Rebels don't show their grit and are not prepared to be as strong in their determination as the Brexiteers - out of almost politeness and obligation - then No Deal awaits.
As things move forward, the threat to May once again re-emerges too. If May doesn't do what the ERG say they are minded and will try to oust her. They have nothing to lose by it.
The Tory knives are hidden behind backs one again. Waiting.
Which way will the Withdrawal Bill go? Which way will the Trade Bill later this month go?
We are running out of time and options: for either a deal or no deal.
Time has already run out for many ordinary people - they just might not know that yet, but the decision has already be made about their future.
