"Many Photos" - Soft Brexit is inevitable after triple deal defeat, Theresa May’s enforcer admits

A SOFTER Brexit is now inevitable, Theresa May’s Commons enforcer warned today.

Chief Whip Julian Smith claimed Parliament’s Remainer MPs would force Britain into a soft form of Brexit.

He said the PM’s strategy was always doomed after she failed to win a majority in the 2017 snap election.

Mr Smith, who is responsible for getting votes through the Commons, also hit out at warring Cabinet ministers saying Theresa May’s top team is the rowdiest in history.

In their 2017 manifesto, the Tories pledged to quit the EU’s single market and customs union after Brexit.

But MPs could now vote to keep Britain in either or both after seizing control of the brexit process.

The Chief Whip told a BBC documentary Mrs May should have admitted she was never going to get exactly what she wants.

Mr Smith said: “The thing people forget is that the Conservative party went to get a majority in order to deliver Brexit, and failed to get a majority.

“The Government as a whole probably should have just been clearer on the consequences of that.

“The Parliamentary arithmetic would mean that this would be inevitably a kind of softer type of Brexit.”
