The problem with playing chicken is that you run the very real risk of running out of time to do anything that can actually change direction (i.e. some form of organised legislative intervention) when you eventually decide to act.

I agree, but with the pre-& post-Salzburg posturing from the Tories, so far any leaving in March 2019 will be a brexit in name only.

You do realise Labour are the opposition and, as such, do not command a majority in the House of Commons?
I’m not sure what people expect them to do to stop Brexit. Or how they do that.

Brexit is the ultimate game of Political Chicken. Whoever blinks first can lose, and nit just for a solitary parliamentary term.
Excepting the wellknown Labour leavers, Brexit is a Tory shitshow for the last 40 years. The 'willofthepeople' press will castigate Labour for even mild support for Remain/2nd Referendum. Labour will do well to push their innovative policies and let the Tories implode, maybe at next weeks party conference, maybe as negotiations show the Chequers fudge now has no backers except May, maybe in the run in to March 2019. The big bucket of shit attached to brexit is nearly overbalancing onto the Tory party. Labour in Keir Starmer have the intellect to see what is going on.
They just the orgainsational balls to wait.
