So it turns out that government whip Mike Freer will be allowed to remain a government whip despite breaking the three line whip he just imposed on himself.

1. MPs just voted clearly to say we should never leave EU without a deal
2. Govt lost cos so many Tories, inc ministers, ignored what told to do by party bosses
3. May warns if MP s don't accept her deal v soon reality is that means a long delay to Brexit
4. Votes on delay tmrw— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) March 13, 2019

Each humiliating disaster for @theresa_may in the Commons this week brings forward the moment of reckoning for the ERG and DUP; I get the sense many will fold next week, especially after tonight's No Deal vote. Is May losing her way to victory?

The last roll of the dice for the PM’s Brexit deal. She is saying in her motion for tomorrow that either MPs vote for her deal by next Weds or the UK may stay in the EU for months – and possibly forever – and UK will have to participate in elections to EU parliament.

'The PM has said it was her deal or no-deal, in the past 24 hours the House has rejected both' – But Jeremy Corbyn says extending Article 50 without a clear plan is not a solution.
He says Labour has a 'credible alternative plan.'

We already know that MPs are very happy to vote for no deal not to happen in theory. In practice, they have now rejected *literally everything* that could prevent no deal: https://t.co/jOEZBIWdNF

Wow — Manafort's attorney, Kevin Downing, is shouted down outside the courthouse after he falsely claims "2 courts have ruled no evidence of any collusion with any Russians."

So, as I understand this, Trump’s acting attorney general Matt Whitaker committed perjury when he told a congressional committee last month that Trump never called him about the Michael Cohen case. Today Whitaker apparently admitted Trump did call him.pic.twitter.com/ioZPo0gYOM
