Tonight, 30 Tory MPs rebelled and voted for the Letwin amendment.
Reasonable to assume this is the number of supporters of a softer Brexit.
If 35 SNP MPs are locked into a Revoke/2nd Ref position and won’t support soft Brexit, then it cannot achieve a majority. @IanBlackfordMP

Bercow asked what House can do about fact PM seems to be ruling out honouring indicative votes before they even take place. Bercow says proceed "with this process… and if there are such votes subsequently… wholehearted participation in them by colleagues is to be recommended"

The UK was due to leave the #EU in 96 hours. The Conservative #ERG group has been coming under huge pressure from pro-#Brexit colleagues to get behind May’s deal. Could tonight’s vote persuade them?

Striking similarity between end of poll tax & end of Brexit. In weeks before Thatcher’s fall ever more absurd & convoluted attempts were made to keep it alive. But only viable course was to scrap it entirely & remove Thatcher
Revoke Article 50. Remove May. It’s that simple

On 9-11 our sovereignty was attacked and the public was able to read a 500 page report on how it happened. Our sovereignty was attacked in 2016 and all we get is a 4-page summary. This is what partisan politics under McConnell will bring you. https://t.co/Tvod4xkZo3

NEW: House Dems largely give up on impeachment in the wake of Mueller findings — at least for now — but are zeroing in on Barr as their No 1 target in the near future.

Trump is in Big Oil’s pocket, and they know it. It’s time we put an end to oil companies manipulating our laws and poisoning our planet. Unlike this president, I’ve sided with our environment over special interests — and I’ll continue to do so in office.https://t.co/wotxsSBjKc
