I don't know the details, but some commentators are painting this deal as a good compromise, and I've noticed the following:-
i) 27 EU members have agreed to it, and are unlikely to be so unanimous again, so the EU's declaration that this is the only deal is prob no bluff.
ii) the deal seems to deliver several of the changes the Brexiteers wanted, on immigration, coastal waters, independence and no more payouts to the Brussels gravy train.
iii) On the beeb they said, "If the cabinet doesn't approve the deal, the pound will fall off a cliff."
So, although it doesn't sound popular, I rather hope the cabinet will accept the deal.
In a "provocative" statement, Trump has just said the EU deal would damage the prospects of a US-UK trade agreement, to which I hope May will reply, " Don't worry that - we'll be making a trade deal with your successor anyway."
