The first thing we know is the timetable. If May somehow passes her deal, Article 50 is extended until 22 May, the day before the European elections. You cannot stay an EU member state, even in Article 50, without taking part.

We’re not in the room when they decide what happens to us. First Theresa May will make a short speech. Then she leaves and the leaders of 27 other countries make a decision. We wait outside. That’s how Britain finds out what happens to it. It’s taken just three years - three years of nationalism and political puritanism - to reduce the country to this status.

The prime minister can seemingly keep on putting down her Brexit deal, over and over again, hoping that at some point she wins it. It is an archaic system based on constitutional convention and political reality. Opponents of the prime minister thought they’d found an Achilles Heel to her strategy buried away on page 397 of the parliamentary rule book Erskine May. “A motion or an amendment which is the same, in substance, as a question which has been decided during a session may not be brought forward again during that same session,” it read.

MPs reject holding a second Brexit referendum
MPs have voted against holding a second Brexit referendum this evening by a substantial majority of 249 votes. Most Labour voters abstained on the vote after the party backed down from supporting a so-called People’s Vote but 25 opposition MPs did vote in favour, against the orders of their party. The vote was defeated by a margin of 334 votes to 85, meaning it would not have passed even if Labour MPs who abstained had supported it.
