Corbyns latest effort is a thinly disguised attempt at getting another election. He is trying to distabilise the talks with Brussels with his behind the scenes talks with Barnier and Junker and now trying to woo Soubry and Clarke. However it is not about Europe it's about getting power here to borrow funds to nationalise everything he can and put the country back to the 60's . His stance on the Irish border is to play into the hands of his Sinn Fein friends and get a united Ireland by the back door.
One has to remember that in the 2015 election prior to the referendum Ukip polled nearly 13% of the vote but only got 1 seat whereas the Lib dems got 8 seats with just on 8% of the vote . Nearly 4 million voted for UKIP but got no representation then and none again now. These are the disenfranchised and when you add in the labour and Tory voters that want to leave it becomes a majority as proven by the result.
Herd's right T May has been next to useless as her heart is not really in it . Brexit could easily be a disaster for the country but only because of the way it has been handled .
So who strengthened JCs hand. From where I am looking it’s the most flakey conservative leader in modern times who had the arrogance to assume she would walk the general election. UKIP are finished as a political entity.

There are 16m people who voted not to leave the EU, if they do not like the Tories take on Brexit then a Labour government is exactly what will happen. That’s why a second referendum is pre requisite, the decision has been made to leave the EU but not in what form.

Don’t forget the youth vote has also woken up, so if the Tories screw up and go for the hard Brexit they will be in the wilderness for years again. If you did the original referendum today with a higher turnout including the youth vote, leave would lose. But hey we are leaving the EU because people don’t like private car washes.

And Amazon and the like go from strength to strength. Ebay , supermarket home delivery all take their toll on traditional retailing. Anyone that works in the trade know that the trend now is to go and look at things and then go home and get it delivered.

No I don't agree those three going down the shitter is due to Brexit. They're poorly run.
Retail is in a downward spiral unless companies adapt to the changing needs of the consumer.
Prezzo has a dated and expensive menu, poor service and average quality of food.
