BREAKING: Understand PM going for Meaningful Vote 3 tomorrow. Only after that will she will consider indicative votes.
Also understand PM due to speak to @DUPleader this lunchtime (as well as Jeremy Corbyn). Early reports say cabinet did not raise her future as PM, but there's a tacit understanding that it is "linked to the vote" tomorrow.
Cabinet did discuss indicative votes, but understand there was no agreement (as you'd expect). Brexiteers were firmly against, others more in favour. Am told "no conclusive remarks" from the PM on whether or not to hold them, but MV3 is focus for now.
No 10 source just got in touch to say a 'final decision' hasn't been taken on MV3 tomorrow.
Stitching all this together, my source suggests the final date is "subject to conversations", i.e. with the DUP, but tomorrow is the current plan.
So to be clear, my source and No 10 are consistent. The plan - subject to final conversations this afternoon with DUP - is for MV3 tomorrow. DUP could still scupper it for her.
Second cabinet source confirms plan:
- Go for MV3 tomorrow, subject to DUP being receptive (some think they may be)
- Only after that tackle issue of indicative votes. Whipping operation would be a bit clearer once MV3 has failed.
- Hunt wanted MV3 on 10th April. Tumbleweed. 😳
