WATCH: Boles quits – “I can no longer sit for this Party”

The Grantham and Stamford MP leaves the Conservative benches, to a cry of “Nick, don’t go” from one of his colleagues.

Indicative Votes Round Two: 3) Common Market 2.0. 33 Conservatives for. 228 against.

Otherwise known as Norway Plus, those backing the move included Bim Afolami, James Cartlidge and George Eustice.

Indicative Votes. Bercow selects four motions. All back either a Softer Brexit, a second referendum – or No Brexit at all.

That’s variously for a customs union; for a custom arrangement plus the Single Market; for a second referendum, and for staying in the EU.

Mark Harper: For Brexit to happen at all, we must now back the deal

In order to ensure that the Conservative Party remains able to govern effectively, I have concluded that, despite its faults, I will vote for the Withdrawal Agreement.

The sixteen possible Brexit options tabled for this evening’s indicative votes. Now complete with Speaker’s selection of eight.

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

Our view of May’s deal

Hers or Letwins? That’s what the choice is narrowing down to. From the point of view of trust in politics, how MPs vote will now make little difference – if any.

Robert Halfon: Mythbusting Common Market 2.0

It would increase our power to control freedom of movement, plus our laws and finances – and deliver on the referendum result.

Steven Edginton: The polling which suggests that most voters believe MPs are trying to stop Brexit

41 per agree that Britain should leave to trade on WTO rules on March 29 compared to 28 per cent who disagree.

Paul Bew: Merkel has let alternatives to the backstop out of a bottle. So there’s no putting them back in.

It really is something when a significant part of the EU leadership joins the list of agnostics. No wonder there is nervousness in Dublin.

Andrew Smith: Whatever indicative votes produce, let it not be Norway Plus

It would be dangerous for UK business and would leave both Leavers and Remainers dissatisfied. It would leave Britain subject to free movement.

The price May is paying for survival is powerlessness

She yesterday achieved the outcome most likely to prop her up – at least for the time being. But Cooper, Letwin and Bercow are waiting in the wings.

Iain Dale: Zombie May and her Zombie Cabinet

Leadsom seems to be the only one with lead in her pencil. All she needs now is to grow big fat hairy balls.

Extension. Never mind the quality, feel the length.

The Prime Minister knows that a short extension is most likely to keep her in Downing Street. Which is why she always likely ultimately to back one.

Anthony Speaight: Six reasons why we are now less likely to be trapped in the backstop

Whilst it remains the case that the Protocol could conceivably remain in force indefinitely, that scenario has become more theoretical than it was previously.

Robert Halfon: If you don’t like the backstop and you want a Brexit deal done quickly, there’s only one answer: Common Market 2.0

I voted for the Prime Minister’s deal today. But the Commons didn’t – and we now all need a positive alternative.
