Bercow has not selected amendment B on ruling out second referendum...

But has selected Benn (indicative votes). Wollaston, Corbyn & Bryant

Mark Francois furious...
But the issue will be debated, because Speaker has selected Wollaston Peoples Votes amendment... which is argument that Bercow is making... says numbers aren’t the only factor, points out that Francois backed amendment yesterday on Malthouse was chosen
And this Chris Bryant amendment on ruling out another meaningful vote under Commons conventions, discussed yesterday on here and by Bercow - has been selected for debate...

NEW Lab leader @jeremycorbyn confirms to @skynews @SophyRidgeSky
Labour is in favour of Kyle-Wilson amendment

“If the amendment is as I set out yes we will be supporting it”...

“We do support the principle” of a referendum

“We would then favour a credible choice referendum”
Corbyn says which way he would vote in any referendum “depends” on the deal on offer in referendum - that his customs union plan could unite the country - but that a credible option to leave and remain should be on ballot
Corbyn also suggests if the Meaningful Vote goes down again, Labour will table a confidence motion... because Commons doesn’t have confidence in Government

Blimey @DKShrewsbury sending message to fellow Eurosceptics MPs saying that after consultations with local businesses and local NFU: “let’s get this over the line and start our long journey of managing ever greater sovereignty”... “mood in my constituency now changing quickly”.
Here is the message Kawczynski sent - quite the journey from last month suggesting going to Warsaw to get the Polish to veto any extension “if we continue to push we may lose Brexit
Meanwhile the DUP:

It’s not about the money money money

1/ If we want a Labour Government 🌹 avoid Twitter Brutality:

1. Never tweet when angry
2. Those who loathe #Corbyn & seek his demise will never be persuaded otherwise. So unless armed with facts, stats or a witty satirical retort, ignore them.
3. ALWAYS aim to be respectful
2/
4/Acknowledge the existence of discrimation & bigotry.
5/ Stay away from #Drama however enticing. Block/mute & keep the action positive, the message inclusive & compassionate.
6/ Those who play with fire will eventually get burned whatever side of a wall they sit.
3/

7/ if you’re good with Stats & figures, employ them to back up a debate; or ask for them to support another’s debate.
8/use rage or frustration creatively.
9/Trolls will be out there making horrible/horrific mischief-let them be exposed for the chaos. Help expose them.

We’re heading for Parliament vs Government (first time since 1940?). My thoughts in a thread. 1/14
Most Tory MPs will back May’s deal. Because they understand EU enough to see there isn’t a better Brexit & they believe their voters don’t want them to oppose Brexit. 2/
But Parliament will vote May’s deal down. Labour opposes it. Anti-Brexit Tories will join them, plus some anti-deal hard Brexiters who don’t understand EU or UK’s position in the world. 3/

You Mark Curtis & the Corbyn cult are IMO dangerous idiots if you downplay this.
A Muslim Brotherhood salute is a Muslim Brotherhood salute - be it Egypt, Syria or Turkey. If a Westerner flashed this salute it shows either support for the MB and its vision - or UTTER STUPIDITY.
That Cameron's UK together with Obama's USA have made a pact with "political Islam" is a story that Syria has felt for 7 bloody years ... and if "commentators" of the Western "pro-Syria space" are now downplaying the MB - I feel vindicated for NEVER having supported them before.
To my mind such antics make Corbyn feel more and more dangerous for the Middle East. Like many of the Pseudo-Left (which is IMO what Labour is) that call themselves "pro-Palestine" but constantly stab the Resistance and Palestinians in the back by attacking Hezbollah and Syria.

Why does Twitter deliberately target Right-wing accounts for Shadow-banning and why it will sooner rather than later completely back-fire and why they are ultimately going to destroy the Left and what a great day that will be. Thread. 1/15
It is no surprise Twitter targets accounts for “wrong think” or as we on the #Right like to call it “free-think” this is because of two events which are now totally and utterly inextricably linked, #Brexit and #Trump and the Establishment have been rocked to the core. 2/15
Neither of which were supposed to happen & yet they did now the Establishment is determined never to allow it to happen again or even at all, the reason for them happening was nothing to do with social media, but was to do with people knocking on doors and persuading others. 3/15

A thread about Starmer's 'Six Tests', trust and what happens in the event of Labour successfully voting down the Withdrawal Bill this autumn. 👇
Firstly, it's important to be clear at the outset: like jumping off a cliff ensures you hit the ground, barring some kind of unforeseen miracle, Brexit is going to occur at the end of March 2019.

If the Withdrawal Bill is rejected this autumn, Brexit is still the default end.
Now let's talk about the tests themselves. Here they are in all their simplistic glory:

Waiting for the #Corbyn speech...
And for those on the Labour left, a bonus Mandelson pin-up 😉
Kudos for early mention of protection of EU27 citizens' rights #CorbynSpeech
