Is Johnson taking mickey with flimsy “commitments” to peace?...
PM hopes EU will scrap “backstop” in return for unspecified commitments. If it wasn’t so serious, one would think this was one of his jokes.
MPs can get a People’s Vote without backing PM’s deal
May says MPs who want a new referendum should vote for her legislation and try to amend it. They have better ways to enforce their will.
Corbyn mustn’t fall for May’s gimmick
Labour leader shouldn’t play her game unless she agrees to put to the people whatever Parliament proposes.
Only way May could salvage her deal is put it to the people
If PM doesn’t want today’s defeat to be the last gasp for her deal and tear the Tory party apart, she should put it to the people.

This is a cynical gamble and a leap in the dark. What’s more, it is not in line with the Article 50 rules. MPs should not be tempted.

Strasbourg drama hasn’t changed deal. MPs must vote it down...
Eleventh-hour spectacle shouldn’t impress MPs. May is still nowhere close to changes Brexiters want, or even what she promised.
Wednesday’s ‘no deal’ vote is also important
Pundits are focussing on Tuesday’s vote on the deal and Thursday’s on delaying Brexit. But Wednesday’s vote on “no deal” is significant too.
