Corbyns amendment this evening was heavily defeated. It was mainly more unicorn-based bollocks. But the upshot is, that Corbyn stated that if it was defeated, it was, then Labour's policy would be to fully support a second referendum.
So, now we shall see.
MPs voted against taking no deal "off the table" again. A disappointing, but not surprising event. Unsurprising, as had they voted for it, they would have to have come up with an alternative plan.
Which is clearly beyond them.
It seems that May will request a slight delay to A50. And it is not a given the EU will allow it, especially if it is for no reason only to improve no deal planning.
What might happen is that the EU might offer a 21 month delay, meaning Parliament would have to decide what is worse, no deal or having to participate in EU elections.
Still not clear as to what is going to happen.
