Why did the Government craft its own defeat yesterday evening?

Perhaps we will find out today why Downing Street and the whips stuck with a motion that risked revolt by ERG members and second referendum backers alike.

What does the EU want?

Rather than collude with MPs to take power out of May’s hands, it is colluding with her in keeping it there – presumably with the aim of a last-minute backstop offer.

Labour’s strategy of Brexit ambiguity is coming under more and more pressure

On the Cooper amendment, 25 Labour MPs either rebelled or abstained – including half a dozen shadow ministers.

May wins less a victory than a reprieve. And an extension to Article 50 is still likely.

The Prime Minister’s previous form suggests that she will keep kicking the can down the road, or try to – even after the road runs out.

Commons Brexit votes. What to watch for this evening. All hangs on the Cooper amendment.

If it passes, a signal will be sent that the Commons is likely to take control of Brexit policy – even if the Brady amendment also passes.

WATCH: Cooper – is the Prime Minister prepared to extend Article 50 or not?

On the day that Labour comes out in favour of extension, the Prime Minister doesn’t rule out supporting the move.

Unless pro-Leave MPs back the Brady plan today, they risk ending up with no Brexit at all

The Prime Minister doesn’t need to endorse every dot and comma of it. But she does need to show the EU that the Commons and her Party can agree on something.

Nicky Morgan: This Brexit logjam is holding up positive politics. Now the Prime Minister must break it.

The way to head these moves off – and this development is anticipated in the Cooper Bill which I am supporting – is to put an agreement in place.

WATCH: Hancock – “Delay doesn’t solve anything, you’ve got to vote positively for a deal”

The Health Secretary says he “emphatically” does not want No Deal, but it is “incumbent” on those who share that view to support a solution.

WATCH: Has Cooper’s amendment secured Corbyn’s backing? “I hope that he will support it…”

She insists to Marr that she is trying to deliver a “good deal”, not to disrupt Brexit.

If May wants a revised plan to pass the Commons, she must take the lead herself

The Speaker is unlikely to select backbench amendments designed to help her, so her least bad option is a Government one.

Barnier mounts, yes, a unicorn – and gallops off towards the backstop

In which the EU’s Chief Negotiator displays exactly the “magical thinking” that is decried when Brexiteers undertake it.

Iain Dale: We’re heading towards an application to extend Article 50. And if extension happens, will revocation follow?

Plus: Collective minsterial responsibility is seeping away. Plus: A.C.Grayling, Jews, nazis, yellow stars – and Brexit Derangement Syndrome.

Chris White: The Cooper amendment threatens to damage the constitution in ways that would be very hard to repair

The constitutional crisis MPs are threatening to bring down on all our heads will have wide-ranging and severe consequences.
