    If all Labour & other opposition colleagues who yesterday abstained or voted against a public vote and a vote for them on Monday both will win with clear majorities. Bingo! A way out of the UK’s nightmare.

    Lots of very poor journalism on yesterday’s indicative votes, describing as “chaos” the fact no option won a majority. That was never going to happen. It was the start not the end of a process. What matters is, to most pundits’ surprise, came top.

    If May had the good sense to attach Kyle-Wilson to her Deal, Bercow would allow a vote, it’d go through, the electorate would get a final say and she’d win an awful lot of new fans. More than she’d lose. She won’t though.

    When we launched in December 2017, a was seen as a fringe idea. Tonight it received more votes than any other option in parliament. 268 MPs backed it and the vast majority were MPs. It is game on. can be beaten.

    So here we have it, the 21 MPs who voted against school kids learning about the existence of gay people. 12 Conservatives, 7 DUP, 1 Labour, and a convicted criminal.

    If every Labour MP had voted for a public vote, it would have passed - and clearly. The whip was in favour. For members of the Shadow Cabinet and front bench to have abstained makes a mockery of our Conference policy and claims that we are member-led.

    That is a huge number for a second referendum 268 - includes 8 Tories - 14 switchers from a “confirmatory public vote” happening.

    Tory MPs hate their Brexit fantasies meeting harsh reality - hence their borish behaviour in the chamber tonight

    Brilliant result tonight! Margaret Beckett’s amendment for a public vote tops today’s votes and beat May’s deal by miles. Thanks everyone for all their support. Thus is is just the beginning not the end of the process.

    So if I understand the situation, Theresa May doesn't have enough support to resign successfully.

    Medics are protected persons under international law so the use of live fire agains them is therefore illegal. Time for accountability. UK must back International community telling Israel its forces do not have impunity to commit war crimes

    This is also a question for Labour MPs, to which the answer will be “no” for a great many of them...

    So now the question for moderate Tories is do they still back Theresa May’s deal knowing that the baton will probably be passed to an uber Brexiteer to finalise the future trading arrangement?

    Theresa May is resigning before the next wave of Brexit talks. To the wavering Labour MPs: are you seriously going to put through a deal which will immediately be taken over by the next Tory leader, guaranteed to be a hard right free marketeer? Any "guarantees" are meaningless.
