Following the historic defeat of Theresa May’s first Brexit plan, parliament will now be voting on her Brexit Plan B. Suspicions have now been raised, however, that the ‘new’ deal is actually just the original proposal with a few superficial changes.

When questioned about this, May said the differences between the two Brexits were obvious:

Nothing has changed
With some other changes, May managed to make her new proposal more dynamic and action-orientated. For instance, she previously suggested:
