1. So what are the chances of MP s moving to back bill without any more changes now Labour talks have failed? Seems v slim but... two VERY important things to note @NickBoles and @LucyMPowell both pointing out (and frankly they know a LOT about this legislation)
2. As things stand, there IS no route in law to block us leaving with no deal in Oct - if there is no Bill + no meaningful votes, there is no technical route to do it- although the politics look like it's impossible, as things stand don't assume Parliament would stop it happening
3. Those who want another referendum need a way of changing the law to make that happen - without no bill to amend, there is no way they can change the law
4. Of course MPs are pretty inventive + have found ways round what have seemed like brick walls before BUT
5. Two of the assumptions in this debate - on the impossibility of MPs allowing No Deal and and how you could make a referendum happen if mood changed in Parly- are not as solid as you might imagine
