Westminstenders: Plan B is Plan A again.

[RedToothBrush]

The voting starts around 7pm and is expected to finish up between 8pm and 8.20pm.

May is expected to lose. The question is by how much.

We are then expecting an immediate motion of no confidence in the government by Labour to be put forward.

May is expected to make a speech to calm the markets and then go to Brussels for an utterly pointless visit.

The Labour No Confidence is expected tomorrow afternoon after PMQs. Its expected to fail.

We move no closer to a resolution and ever closer to no deal.

Half the Cabinet want to go into cross party talks. Half the Cabinet don't.

May is apparently insistent that Plan B is Plan A. Which is what you would expect her to tell the house to comply with Grieve IV. Which again is bollocks.

But Bercow could yet refuse to indulge it.

If Plan B is Plan A again, then what's Plan C?

Crisis with a Capital C.

The stalemate grows.

That bloody bell ! Just shut up!

Sky on May 'her plan is to plough on'. NOT NEWS GUYS.

I’ll go with 170

I didn’t have Graham Brady or Adam Afriyie on my confirmed list of rebels...

Elgot seems to be confirming Peston

Aaargh get on with it!

Found the spare corkscrew in picnic basket in garage just in time.
Big number coming up??

180

I’m going for a loss of 168.

Over 200 defeat... my guess

155

T M is the Terminator. She will dust herself off and carry on.

I predict lose by 157.

Is what I’d wager so much more fun than guess how many sweeties in the jar

May has taken her seat and holding a few sheets of paper. We expect her to make a point of order immediately after the vote.

I think I might need or maybe

I'll say 205

If we're doing 'portsperson's bets I bet it will be as close as the Ref itself -reeelly close. My side bet is that the WA wriggles through.

Eats popcorn, drinks wine, cooks sausages.

my guess 216

One Tory MP voting FOR Theresa May’s deal in the (less crowded) aye lobby said acidly:

“There are a lot of knights and right honourables in this lobby”

Here we go...

Its a definate defeat.

Thanks for the commentary RedToothBrush

Fuck. So anxious.

I have never seen the Parliamentary Press Gallery so full as tonight. Every seat taken. Must be 200 journalists waiting for the result of the vote. Sally Bercow, the Speaker's wife, is also in the public gallery. #Brexit

Aye 202
No 423
