I'm not sure who you are referring to, but I can guess.

You see the Leave supporting Tory MPs have voted through all Brexit legislation. They supported May's leadership as she promised to honour the referendum. They agreed with her set piece speeches, Lancaster House and Florence.
They agreed with the Brexit policy set out in the manifesto.

The original rebs including Clarke, Soubry, Grieve.... were the dissenting few.

The big game changer was Chequers. No DEXU legislation has passed since and not only has this alienated around 150 Tory MPs that were previously onside, it has also alienated the 10 or so Tory rebs,the DUP and the Labour Leavers.

About the only ones still supporting her policy are people on the Government payroll.

Around 50 of those voting confidence in her last night, did so whilst stating they will vote down her agreement.

I haven't a clue where it will go now. But May's deal is a dead duck, even if Mrs May hangs on for a little longer.
