OK, so my effort to work out where Tory MPs stand on prorogation and stopping No Deal by legislative means has now got a bit complex
There are two threads
One lists quotes of MPs on the record saying they are opposed to prorogation (15 MPs cited currently)
The second debates which MPs might switch to that position

Each of these has accompanying Twitter lists
On the record against prorogation (15 MPs, 13 on list)

Possible rebels next week, or anti No Deal (16 MPs on list)

The interesting ones are the potential rebels - people like Vaizey and Benyon who are pro-Brexit but anti-No Deal, while others like Hoare focus more on the critique of the *means* Johnson is choosing to use
The good news from this research is there are 20-30 Tory MPs who are adequately ill at ease at what is going on to be open about it. There will be others still worried in private.
Keep the names and the quotes coming!
