1. Deeply embarassing for govt to be beaten just before Brexit debate gets going again, but does it affect what they will actually have to do if they lose next Tuesday?
2. PM was always likely to have had to make a statement either next Tues night after a defeat or on Weds morning, or at v least at PMQs about what govt was going to do next - several Cabinet ministers suggest that will only be 'we'll have another go' with the same plan
3. PM will now have to present an actual proposal again, even if it's basically a reheat, to MP s within a few days, so it accelerates the time scale even if the issues aren't any different
4. What today certainly shows though is that some Tory MP s and the Speaker, are prepared to ignore all sorts of precedent in these critical weeks, and crucially, Number 10 is really not in control of events
5. Lastly - relationship btw Bercow and Tories surely now beyond repair
