EXCL: Here is the final text of the Kyle-Wilson amendment, tweaked after input from Keir Starmer.

It will be tabled on MeaningfulVote3 this week and Labour will whip for it.

It aims to get May's deal over the line in Parliament - but only if it is then put to a referendum.
Excl: On Thursday Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson met Jeremy Corbyn and had a "very constructive" discussion about the amendment, Keir Starmer told the Sunday Telegraph. (He and John McDonnell were also in the meeting)

Tory MP Phillip Lee is a lead signatory on the Kyle amendment. More than 10 Tory ministers have expressed interest.

Independent Group MPs also tell me they will back it (after their own 2nd referendum amendment was defeated last week).

So what does Bercow ruling out a 3rd #MeaningfulVote on an unchanged proposition mean?

I *presume* he would permit a vote if it were to include the Kyle-Wilson idea for a confirmatory referendum...

...and I have re-worked my #Brexit diagram based on that
This results in the following numbers (and trend since diagram V18 end of last week)

No Deal 13% ↔️
General Election (needs delay) 36% ⬆️
May's Deal* 0% ⬇️⬇️⬇️
#PeoplesVote (needs delay) 28% ⬆️⬆️
Rescind 3% ↔️
UK stays until 2020 19% ↔️

* no way now w/o referendum or GE
As ever high res versions, XML, and probability calculations available on my blog!

March update on the biggest Japanese companies in the UK and what they are doing in response to Brexit (or if you prefer, global trends in the car industry, nuclear power, IT etc). There are around 1,000 companies, employing 160,000 people. 1/
1. The Fujitsu group continues to be the biggest Japanese employer in 🇬🇧(>8,300). Employee numbers have dropped by 2,000 since 2016 + further restructuring in Europe started Oct 2018, including shutting Augsburg factory in Germany 2/
Fujitsu UK MD has confirmed Fujitsu is committed to UK however, which is not surprising as it has a lot of government contracts, including for ID document recognition for post Brexit systems bbc.co.uk/news/business-… 3/

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

And now McDonnell confirms it.

Labour is ignoring Conference policy (and the Kyle/Wilson amendment) to support only a Parliamentary vote that is designed to fail on a second referendum. (theguardian.com/politics/2019/…) /1
The original Kyle/Wilson amendment said to the PM: 'if you can't get your deal through Parliament MPs will support it if you put it to the people in a public vote.'

It gave a reason to opponents of the idea to back a public vote to avoid No Deal. /2
McDonnell is saying to the PM 'if you can get your deal through you should also put it to the people.' But who are the MPs, where is the incentive, to support that? There is none - this amendment is designed to fail. /3

Much over-excitement at Labour's recent press release. Unsurprisingly, it gives little away. There are many unanswered questions. Here's a few of them. 1/
labour.org.uk/press/labour-t…
The first part (the Labour amendment) expresses a desire for a Labour Brexit. It represents settled policy. The amendment has precious little chance of being adopted. So... the 'next steps' are more interesting. 2/
First, badged as 'doing everything in our power to prevent No Deal and oppose a damaging Tory Brexit', Lab will support the Cooper/Letwin amendment. That will be voted on this week. If it passes, it commits TM to ask for an extension if her deal is rejected on March 13. 3/

BREAKING: Jeremy Corbyn to table amendment on Labour's Brexit plans and if defeated (which it will be) will "put forward or support an amendment in favour of a public vote".
Jeremy Corbyn accuses PM of "recklessly" running down clock on Brexit. He adds: "We are committed to also putting forward or supporting an amendment in favour of a public vote to prevent a damaging Tory Brexit being forced on the country.”
Worth noting that leadership don't like the Kyle/Wilson amendment because it is seen as too supportive of the PM's Brexit plan (it basically means backing her deal in return for a referendum) so might table their own.
