Theresa May will succeed in passing a Brexit deal through parliament because MPs are wrongly fearful that Britain could leave without agreeing a deal, Nick Clegg, the former deputy prime minister, has said.
Clegg, who last week became Facebook’s head of global affairs and communications, told the New Statesman: “All things being equal, it’s probably more than 50 per cent that she [May] might scrape home. But it’ll be like a bumblebee after a sting: she’ll die the moment she delivers that hotchpotch Brexit. If she has to rely on Labour support, and if she’s not already been axed by her party, she certainly will be after that.”
