BREAK: Results of indicative votes Y/N:
🔹No Deal 160 - 400
🔹Common Market 2.0 188 - 283
🔹EFTA/EEA 65 - 377
🔹Customs Union 264 - 272
🔹Labour Plan 237 - 307
🔹Revoke A50 184 - 293
🔹2nd Ref 268 - 295 ⭐️
🔹WTO 139 - 422

NOTHING has a majority! 2nd ref got largest vote.
After a rollercoaster day, this is helpful for PM. Shows that there is not a majority for anything, but two of these options (customs union, second ref) got bigger support than her own deal.
It is worth noting just how far a second referendum has come in past two years. At first a fringe idea, confined to Lib Dem conference and a few other forums, it now persuades large chunks of the Labour benches and it would seem Tory benches too after tonight.

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.

Labour NEC due to discuss second referendum today after hundreds of CLPs passed motions saying members should be consulted on whether or not they want one. 3 NEC members will push for a full consultation, citing that Jeremy Corbyn has always argued for more party democracy.
Understand two union delegates will also raise Ian Lavery’s comments over the weekend opposing a second referendum, which they argue are counter to party policy. But NEC still weighted against a People’s Vote.
Those pushing for second referendum argue members can be easily consulted, as per the precedent over whether or not Britain should intervene in Syria. Polls have shown a majority of Labour members would back a People’s Vote.

#Breaking: Just in - British Prime Minister Theresa May asks and says the #UK will seek another extension to #Brexit.
#Update: British Prime Minister Theresa May also says that the extension to #Brexit, should be as short as possible, before the European elections takes place. So this means Brexit can be postponed for at least 1 month and 3 weeks more, if the European commission will allow it!

May: We need a further extension. Should be as short as possible and should end when agreement is reached. Offers to sit down with Corbyn to agree way forward.
Wants to put joint proposal to the HoC with Corbyn. If can't, can vote on other options.
Wants timetable to get legislation through before 22nd May to avoid EP elections.

She is obsessed with this.

The plane was from Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.
#BREAKING
AP citing Iranian state TV - Boeing 707 Kyrgyz cargo plane crashes west of Tehran amid severe weather, 10 crew feared killed
#BREAKING
More images of the Kyrgyz cargo plane crashing west of Tehran, #Iran, at 8:30 am local time.

Iranian media: Authorities dispatching many emergency teams.

My take:
This is suspicious & the regime could be attempting to quarantine the area to cloak the cargo's nature.
