The PLP is not a united force on Brexit, either, however. And if the goal (of the PLP) is to regain electoral power through supporting finance, planting themselves in the (ever-shifting to the right) middle, and courting the anti-immigration/Brexit vote, I'm not sure what their opposition will be. That Labour - third way Labour - is no enemy to PFIs, for example.
The SNP are the real opposition the Brexit. May does seem concerned with the break up of the union (unlike Cameron), so that's something. And if Labour can get over themselves and recognize that working with the SNP is not treason, we may get somewhere.
Given the amount of division in the Tory party, an effective opposition could have real sway - particular if it allowed May to win a vote against the Tory eurosceptic flank.
But we don't have an effective opposition, and given Corbyn's apparent disdain for Europe, I'm not sure he'd allow the party to vote that way.
