What has he got to be snarky about?

the joke being that Jezza seemingly has much more to say about Bolivia than he does Brexit

Its a brand of Yoghurt I think?

He's smarter than that. It's just he's about the most fervent Brexiteer in parliament, but trying to lead a party that's split 50:50 over it. So, as he's in opposition and doesn't actually need to do anything, avoidance is absolutely the smartest thing to do

"Kwasi Kwarteng, a Conservative, asks about a 100-year-old bellringer in his constituency, believed to be the oldest in the world. May says this is a considerable record and wishes the constituent happy birthday."

Nothing to do with Brexit. That's a total farce.
He's a clown as an opposition leader. An abject waste of space in the big picture.
He is the wedge under the door that keeps it permanently open for the Tories to continue muddling along.

His domestic agenda would win a landslide for them. It's only the distrust that they would deliver Brexit even less well that keeps the Tories in.

I love a change to Labour but not lead by Mr Corbyn.
We are between a rock and a Mr Bean.

Meaningless unless 160 Tory MPs are prepared to vote her out.

Agree that a VONC in May would be good for her. It might happen by accident, because letters aren't coordinated any more: various sides are submitting them.
There isn't really an issue about getting the agreement through Cabinet - which has no formal veto - merely one of how many Cabinet ministers resign. Of course, the number that she loses is relevant to the first question, which is whether she can get the agreement through Parliament.
It looks very much as if she can't.
Then, the question is whether the government can survive, which comes down to how aggressively the DUP react. It's possible that they will withdraw supply but not confidence: keep the Tories in power, but not agree a budget until an orange-flavoured Brexit is delivered.
In those circumstances, we could have a government of national unity, a second referendum or another election. The last is what May has form for. But whichever of them happened, Article 50 would either need to be revoked or extended.
