Good morning and welcome to another occasion when Parliament spends all day carrying out important scrutiny of a big change to the country, or spends hours arguing about Brexit with no inconclusive result - delete as applicable to your own beliefs
Here, again, is the deal Johnson agreed with the EU which is at least PART of what the debates will be about bbc.co.uk/news/uk-500830…
The numbers are pretty much 50/50 at the moment (48-52 or 52-48 anyone?) but if the Letwin amendment which would try to force a delay until ALL the legistlation implementing the deal is thro passes, that might change the terms of the day a lot - that vote will come first
From all of the things this Number 10 has done so far, I wouldn't rule out them doing something unconventional in response - not sure govt can actually pull the vote at this stage, or would event want to, altho that wouldn't be the only option
Feels at the moment like govt may well have the numbers so there’s a strong case trying to show that and not over reacting to Letwin if it passes first
