The biggest losers of all this will be Labour and indirectly the SNP

I think that Theresa May will overcome any leadership challenge but will lose the Brexit vote in Parliament. This surely will force Labour into proposing a vote of no confidence which they will probably win, resulting in a General Election. Cometh the hour the Labour Party is currently in much greater disarray than the Tories and are certainly not in any state to run the country, a fact that will not be lost on the majority of voters. Labour and the SNP will drop sufficient numbers of seats to the Tories who will return to Westminster in a stronger position to force Brexit through. Simples!
