Abstract: 

As the tick-tock of the Brexit clock moves toward a deadline of 29 March, the ramifications are fast unfolding.

There is a demand to see Plan B within days and a no-confidence motion in the parliament has been tabled by Labour’s leader Jeremy Corbyn, that, if successful, would see a snap general election.
