Here’s the Bill. It gives the Govt til end of Feb to sort things out, but if they haven’t, then Parliament would get a vote on whether to extend article 50 & get a bit more time. It gives Govt & Parliament a chance to avert No Deal in March if time has run out 
The bill has limited effect - it doesn’t change constitution/stop Brexit/revoke Article 50/determine what happens next. It just gives Govt & Parliament the chance to ask for a bit more time if country is facing No Deal researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefi…
Some people may not be worried about tariffs on food, delays to medicines, clogged up ports and weakened border security - but many are really worried about the impact of No Deal on families who would be hit through no fault of their own
PM delayed & didn’t put deal to vote until 21 out of 24m of A50 process gone. Govt knows it needs more time but won’t admit it. Blaming MPs for trying to help is like students who are about to fail an exam lashing out at teachers who are trying to get them a bit of extra time
Realise some people are in usual shouting match about anything to do with Brexit. But hoping most people will agree it’s OK to call for common sense. If Govt runs out of time, everyone may need bit longer so families, jobs & public services don’t pay price
