BREAKING:

government defeats Labour-led cross-party manoeuvre designed to prevent no-deal Brexit by 309-298 votes
this isn’t the end of the road for blocking No Deal:

the mood could change by late summer and Tory Europhile MPs could respond differently to a Tory-led motion.

Even so....feels ominous for those opposed to UK “crashing out” of EU
here’s tonight’s @ft news story

Labour shadow cabinet on Brexit position has broken up and they’ve agreed to....

.......

.....do some more consultation with trade unions and others etc
Corbyn told shad cab:

“I’ve already made the case...that it’s now right to demand that any deal is put to public vote..in line with our conference policy.”

“I want to hear your views, I will be hearing trade union views next week then I want to set out our views to the public.”
guidance from Team Corbyn is that Labour's priority is still to try to force a general election: "Our (2018) conference policy stands."

#Brexit news for today:

Nigel Adams, Minister for Wales, and Governement whip has resigned the #Cabinet over #TheresaMay's way forward.

1/n
You can hear #TheresaMay's reaction from here

2/n
So the splitting of the #ToryParty continues. Where will it end? And can we expect resignations from #Labour if #Corbyn is seen as giving up too much to #TheresaMay during the discussions tonight.

#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!
