    Also, they can't have another vote without getting an A50 extension first.

      Hilary Benn is not dropping his amendment, and nor should he - the "promises" given by Lidington at the dispatch box were the usual contorted, conditional bollocks, but it may be enough to buy off some of his own side. Benn's amendment will be hampered by the wording of needing MPs from five different parties to endorse any motion to go forward into the indicative votes.

        Front page of the South Wales Echo: Cardiff Council is telling schools to start stockpiling food.

        Front page of the Daily Express: "Don't let the bullies stop Brexit!"

        The sooner we ban English newspapers from Wales the better.

          What happens if more than one proposition gains a majority in the indicative voting? Presumably you'd want the propositions to be mutually exclusive to a degree that makes it possible for only one to gain a majority?

            I think at the moment having even one way forward that commands a majority seems a long way off. Having more than one doesn't seem like something that needs to concern us overly

                Wollaston defeated.

                  85 votes doesn't seem too shabby, with neither major party in favour?

                    Now the real fireworks should happen.

                      Apologies, first up, it's the amendment to the amendment.

                        This is good

                        The problem is not so much Theresa May – it’s that Britain is now ungovernable

                            Amendment to I itself defeated 314-311, so now the most likely Government defeat beckons.

                              I confess I've got totally confused. What's the Benn amendment?

                                It's the indicative vote one?

                                  And who's whipping what?


                                  Sorry for all the questions

                                    Labour voting Aye to all these amendments, the Tories No, but multiple abstentions likely.

                                    Yes, Benn would give the Commons control over asking indicative votes.

                                        This definitely looks like one.

                                          Lloyd went both ways, which is odd.

                                                If this is confusing for the rest of us just think how befuddled Chris Grayling must be.

                                                  What are the objections to indicative votes? Seems like a no brainer to me.

                                                  It's just about May desperately clinging to her deal/no deal?
