Once again, the Peter Kyle Option (Confirmatory Referendum) got the most votes. Even more than last time. Although it was defeated by only the second smallest majority.

I'm loving these people saying we lost, as if People's Vote didn't just secure more votes than any other Brexit option put before Parliament.
(Other than the third meaningful vote, but that lost by a majority of 58 whereas PV lost by 12)

Looks like the various soft Brexit factions formed a circular firing squad too. Not sure what happens next.
Presumably we're now looking at MV3, MV4 etc.
My prediction on #indicativevotes2 and the next step: if we see a majority or a close-to majority for one or more of the motions today (other than the confirmatory referendum one) then by pairing it with a referendum it *will* command a majority.
So Theresa May will really be up against it. She has to find some way of stopping or delaying indicative vote 3 (likely to be Wednesday) because once there's a solid majority for "X + referendum" her goose is cooked. So we may hear the GE klaxon go off in short order.
Except... things may not be that simple (are they ever with Brexit?) She would need to get 2/3 of the HOC to go along with a GE vote. But many Tories won't want to trade 3 more years of powerish for an unknown future.
