Who wants to predict some stuff? I think MPs will take control of the process with indicative votes today. Soft Brexit here we come.

John Bercow, the Speaker, says he has selected three amendments for the Brexit debate.

1) Labour’s amendment. This calls on the government “to provide sufficient parliamentary time this week for this house to find a majority for a different approach”.

2) Oliver Letwin’s amendment. This calls for Commons business on Wednesday to be set aside for a series of indicative votes. It does not specify what options will be voted on, or how the votes will take place.

3) Dame Margaret Beckett’s amendment. This says that if the UK is seven calendar days from leaving without a deal, the house should be recalled to consider a motion on whether or not MPs approve such a move.

I think 1 fails, 2 passes, 3 I don't know - maybe passes

@mashton tell us the future

Labour amendment to be soundly defeated.
Letwin amendment very narrowly defeated.
Beckett amendment passes.

IVs happen and get us absolutely fucking nowhere

MV3 brought next week and fails.

Floundering.

Beckett amendment used to ask for a long extension. EU tell us to piss off. A50 revoked by parliamentary decree as option of last resort to avoid no deal.

Huge grumbling. We all live happily ever after. (Well sort of. There will be a GE with neither May or Corbyn as leaders of parties. Hung parliament, but a government forms with a labour + SNP + Lib Dems + Green coalition, Keir Starmer as PM)

Then we win Euro 2020 and everyone is like yay!

I could get on board with that!

I still can't understand why she's not black mailing the brexitiers by openly stating she'll revoke article 50 to prevent no deal if they don't vote for her deal.

Has to be this week IIRC, or it's hard Brexit on the 12th.
