As part of a now-rejected deal with the Labour party, Theresa May seemed to open the door to a second Brexit referendum.
Theresa May made her final big gamble as prime minister on Tuesday, offering Labour a “new deal” that included the possibility of a second EU referendum in what she claimed was “the last chance” to deliver Brexit.
...
The most ambitious part of her offer involved plans to give MPs a vote on whether to hold a second Brexit referendum to approve a final deal. She said she would respect the result.
Why did she do that? What was her gain in proposing such a gamble, and how does it fulfill her will to deliver Brexit?

Uncharitably, Theresa May's latest offer is smoke and mirrors rather than any actual change.
The PMs latest plan is to offer votes on a second referendum and a customs union after the Withdrawl bill has been passed. Crucially, she is not including any second referendum as part of the Withdrawl bill itself.
Leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Vince Cable, echoed the point, telling Today: "If [Mrs May] said 'we will put forward the Withdrawal Bill subject to a confirmatory referendum'… we would be obliged to support it on that basis, but she is barely saying Parliament can have a vote if it wants to have a referendum.
"[That] is not in her gift, Parliament will do that anyway. What appears to be a concession isn't."
The BBC Article, that the above quote comes includes statements from Labour re-iterating that these offers basically allow what MPs can do without government support via the amendments process.
It appears this 4th Bill is an attempt to get both sides on board by telling Leavers that the bill doesn't really include a 2nd referendum and telling Remainers that it does.
