DUP says there has not been ‘sufficient progress’ on the backstop. Loads of Tory MPs said their vote would hinge on DUP decision. The PM is now in big trouble tonight

May can’t rely on rebel Labour MPs to rescue the deal either. I’m not sure there are more than half a dozen who would vote for it as things stand

The ERG won’t decide how to vote tomorrow until Bill Cash’s committee of lawyers has picked apart and judged whatever might be agreed with EU tonight

Downing Street still don’t know who will respond to Corbyn’s urgent question on Brexit in Commons later. PM may or may not be going to Strasbourg. Still waiting for motion on tomorrow’s vote.

Yvette Cooper says the government must hold it’s no deal / extension votes on Weds and Thurs regardless of tomorrow’s drama. Says she doesn’t believe PM would lie. Her commitments must stand.

So MPs will have a vote on extending the table. A no deal Brexit would still be possible later on. It’s kept ministers on board for today though.

Austin says the hard left is now in charge of the Labour Party and he can’t see how it can return to the mainstream. He has no plans to join the Independent Group of MPs

Ian Austin quits Labour saying the party is tougher on people complaining about anti-Semitism than it is on the anti-Semites. The 9th MP to leave Labour this week

Interesting.. Amber Rudd says she hopes the PM will get her deal through next week. Makes sense for Number 10 to have a go before the Cooper plan potentially knocks out no deal threat

Like an iceberg slowly melting, the break-up of the "big two" parties has been building for decades. But history doesn't move in straight lines, and if this is the start of a new alignment in British politics - a big "if" - it's happening in a way few saw coming. [THREAD] pic.twitter.com/9RAgdUZ4KE

Fury with ERG among many Tory MPs. Tory backbench and ministerial support for trying to stop no deal (via Cooper amendment on 27th) seems to have hardened after this
