The rage of Brexiteers about the suggestion of a referendum reflects their awareness that they are probably in a minority now.

Of course if such a vote was a confirmatory one, on a deal - either May's one or with a tacked-on customs union with remain as the alternative it's hard to know what the hardine Brexiteers would prefer. There's been quite a lot of talk about "this deal is worse than staying in the EU" - maybe they mean it.
