Possible series of events?...

Benn et al amendment passes tonight;
MV 3.0 falls on Tuesday;
Indicative votes debate starts on Wednesday;
Indicative votes take place the week after (Monday 25th is a date I've been told)
Right, having spoken to people involved in the Benn, Cooper etc amendment, the plan is:

* A debate on Wed 20th on the business of the House to decide the process for finding a way forward

* The agreed process — expected to be indicative votes — would take place the week after
Bercow chooses the following amendments:

Corbyn, A50 extension & consensus
Hilary Benn et al, backbench control
Sarah Wollaston, People's Vote
Chris Bryant, block May holding MV3

Mark Francois is furious that Bercow didn't choose the amendment which rejects a new referendum.
New: David Lidington says that HMG will let MPs hold indicative votes to find a new way forward if there's no deal after the European Council summit (March 21-22)

First move by the government to try convince Benn et al to spike their amendment

Tory moderates are mulling which Brexiteer to back to replace Theresa May. Their choice, Amber Rudd, is not set to stand, so now they’re discussing who the “least bad” Leaver is. They fear that the Tories will be doomed if “so right-leaning” Raab gets it. businessinsider.com/theresa-may-co…
At a lunch of moderate Tory MPs this week, “everyone” agreed May must go. Attendee said: “I can't think of a single MP who wants her to stick around. It used to be the ERG but moderates are saying it... Even usually loyal junior ministers were saying it.” businessinsider.com/theresa-may-co…
Amber Rudd is regarded as a potential “king maker” in the Consevative leadership contest. Who she backs will likely receive the support of swathes of moderate Tories. Gove, Hunt have already been in touch with her, I’m told. businessinsider.com/theresa-may-co…

Hmm. Ken Clarke asks the PM to commit to holding indicative votes next week. She appears to say no - argues that the HoC has already had lots of votes on alternatives to her deal. Deputy PM David Lidington had given MPs a different impression.
PM pressed on indicative votes by Ed Miliband. Again she says the HoC has already had opportunities to vote for alternatives. She may have no choice but to facilitate them however - Stephen Kinnock told me this morning that MPs are planning to table a new version of Cooper-Benn.
Yvette Cooper: “I beg this prime minister to think again.” Her, Miliband and other Labour MPs look incandescent with the PM after her refusal to commit to indicative votes.

At Chatham House where Nick Boles, Lucy Powell, Stephen Kinnock & Robert Halfon are talking about “Common Market 2.0.” Probably the most important discussion about this Brexit model yet - backers believe it has a HoC majority, Corbyn warming to it, MPs could vote on it soon.
Kinnock says that he agrees with Farage, Dan Hannan and Owen Paterson, who have all in the last few years endorsed a Norway-style relationship with the EU. He adds that “pragmatic Eurosceptism” has been scrapped and replaced by a “isolationist” mission which abandons the 48%.
Interesting... Kinnock says that talks with Corbyn have gone very well and could soon lead to Labour backing a Common Market-style plan.

“We hope we will be able to secure the Labour whip for a backbench driven” piece of legislation.

Monday's "Next Steps" debate is shaping-up to be a very important one in Parliament. On the face of it, it's a debate about the Government's written statement from Friday. The motion is "neutral" (i.e. it simply says the House has considered the statement) parliament.uk/business/publi…
However, in practice, the debate is unlikely to be confined to the narrow parameters of the statement, not least because the premise of its content was that a third meaningful vote would take place this week. That did not happen.
Unless an actual decision is taken on whether to agree to any extension by the European Council today or tomorrow it seems likely that the House will use this debate to clarify what further steps should be taken *in Parliament* and *with the EU* in the four days following Monday.

1. A thread on Brexit. A lot of people seem to think that this week's actions in parliament have taken no deal off the table. They have not. No deal is the default, although in a way for some people it's already happened.
2. Ships have already left the UK for Asia with no idea of the customs regime that will apply when they arrive in Singapore. In a way, No deal happened about a week ago for things on the boats and the people shipping them.
We leave by automatic operation of Article 50 at 23:00 UK time on the 29th of March. No action is required for this to occur. Why 23:00? Because it's midnight in Europe and GMT doesn't mean shit to the EU. That tells you who's the junior partner right here, like it or not.

Megathread | LOONAverse Origins: "X X" 🦋

LOONA's debut with [Hi High] brought us what many thought was a closure to the LOONAverse. As new series of teasers now tell us there is more to the story, I want to share some of my thoughts on what we could expect next.

Let's dive in!
*Disclaimer*

Again, this is a compilation of thoughts I had from the teasers. My observations may not be all unique. As all theories go, we can never claim one is absolute. This thread will also be more predictive than analytical, I’m hoping to make another thread after the MV!
This thread is also a continuation of my [Hi High] megathread from August.

For the full experience, I recommend a refresher of what I will now call “Act I”.

<Act I.> LOONAverse Complete: "Hi High"

#DisclosuresTribunal Apologies. This is from his statement to the tribunal on March 13, 2017 - not in his letter of response to O'Neill
#DisclosuresTribunal Callinan, also in his statement to the tribunal of March 2017 said: I specifically wish to state that I did not direct Taylor to draw journalists' attention to the complaint of criminal misconduct made againt McCabe. Nor did I direct him to suggest...
#DisclosuresTribunal [ctd]...to journalists or others that this was the root cause of his agenda. Callinan also told tribunal that it was "striking" that Taylor's allegation was devoid of surrounding details or context of the circumstances in which he allegedly made this dctn
