PS: We make that 28 Spartans and six Remainers. The Prime Minister won only nine votes from across the floor, and lost the DUP.

“I am prepared to leave this job earlier than I intended in order to do what is right for our country and our party.”

The Letwin plan has not exactly delivered the promised clarity. Instead, the Commons has again said what it does not want.

His choice: amendments from Baron, Boles, Eustace, Clarke, Corbyn, Cherry, Beckett, Fysh.

The list includes the three who resigned from the Government this evening – and Green, one of the Prime Minister’s oldest allies.

The proposal was rejected by 314 votes to 311. Boles, Gyimah, Spelman and Vaizey were among those to rebel. Plus Brine and Harrington.
