No these were indicative votes on amendments. Non binding afaik

There is talk of her putting it up a fourth time, with a confidence vote. Government resigning if it loses again.
So if a general election is called, how long can they stave off a hard Brexit in order to run that election?

My guess would be 12 months then depends on the EU agreeing an extension. Pretty much only an election or 2nd PV would suffice.

A deal would be made with the EU. Possibly for a two year extension.

EU will grant an extension for a reported two years.

Really can’t see the benefit of that now.

Whole new PM to bang over the head that the Working agreement negotiated is not being reopened

Unless Corbyn gets in in which case it’s all on the table from a UK POV

Good luck with that. It’s beyond a clusterfuck.

Best thing to do is look up ‘what happens now’ tomorrow on the trustee news sites

Check out the BBC Brexitcast podcast. It's cloying at times and a bit EU leaning but it gives the most concise views I've heard. At this rate of change though, they're out of date rather quickly.

I'd imagine the next one will be up in an hour or two.

Unless something significant comes out of Wednesday, I’m still skeptical.

Brexit cast is more about the parliamentary process than the impact. It's a surface pod.

Ah right. The one I’m thinking of has Katya Adlar I think her name is? She’s pure unicorns and rainbows. Yet somehow one of BBCs main correspondents on brexit.

Yeah that's the one. As someone on the other side of the world this pod reports on SW1 quite well. It certainly doesn't delve into issues. Its a reporting pod.

And she is annoying.

Earlier, the People’s Vote campaigner, Bridget Phillipson, was making the point that a confirmatory vote was the best supported option . Her colleague, Chuka Umunna, goes yet further:

"The logical thing in this circumstance would be to put the prospect of leaving the EU with a customs union to the British people in a People’s Vote with the option to remain.

At the moment, there doesn’t seem to be support in the House for a general election because it won’t resolve any of the Brexit chaos, it just delays making a decision."
