The 3 dangerous scenarios which could see Brexit REVERSED
THE dangerous scenarios which could see Brexit reversed against the will of the British people have been revealed.
Tory MP says he may vote with Labour to release Brexit papers
Fuelling fears a ‘Remainer coup’ is underway, three ways the UK’s democratic decision to leave the European Union (EU) could be cancelled have been outlined.
The hypothetical scenarios all start with the departure of Prime Minister Theresa May, who is struggling to stamp her authority following a devastating loss of her majority in a snap General Election.
One potential twist to block Brexit sees Labour win a snap election after Mrs May quits or is forced to leave by members of her own party.
Bloomberg Business, who carried out the research, says would give Labour a chance to charm EU bosses.

Following pressure from unions who provide Labour with most of their funding, Jeremy Corbyn would be forced to go against pro-Brexit policy, leaving the new leader with no choice but to call a second referendum.
Another scenario would see Mrs May replaced by a Remainer such as Philip Hammond, who the Tory party rally behind and eventually unite.
This would also push anti-Brexit Conservatives to join forces with Labour and Liberal Democrats, to ultimately call another vote.
The third and last twist, which would force a Brexit reversal, would see a new pro-Europe party emerge in direct response to the Tory party getting behind a hard-Leave backer, like Jacob Rees-Mogg or Boris Johnson.
Hammond is a Remainer
The move would ultimately see the Tory party split over whether to carry on outside of the bloc or reapply for EU membership under a worse deal.
And this would cause a group of europhile Conservatives to split off from their loyalties and align themselves with Lib Dem politicians who form a new party to campaign to remain in the Brussels club.
