    No deal just died a death

    Another amendment passed.

    The government are basically "out of power". Parliament has basically established an anti-government majority, who can do whatever they want.

      May has no majority and Jeremy Corbyn has effectively taken control.

            Indeed that is correct, and it looks like there is.

              Of course, the Grieve amendment doesn't kick in if May pulls the vote next week.

              Let's see if "definitely going ahead" means definitely going ahead.

                According to a political editor at the Daily Telegraph on LBC Labour are close to pushing for an extension to article 50. That will probably be the battle. If Labour does do that, then there may well be a majority in parliament for it.

                  Extending A50 will require agreement of 27 other EU members, and it will screw up EU elections in May

                    That amendment isn’t in the Brexit bill as far as I can tell. I think it’s the finance bill they were voting on.
                    I may have that wrong but as far as I’m aware his amendment was passed before the Brexit bill started. I reckon it’s the finance bill.
