Just realised I did some shite-maths there. He actually only needs a swing of 29 from against-to-for, and it would go through. So it actually won’t be all that close.
Hot take: We’re leaving I guess?
1-(halfway through) 4 achieved from this clever bastard’s list.
Yeah, I think on the pure deal only, he’d get very close. Which is why the amendments are gonna be crucial. Will the vote on Saturday be amendable, or is it the case that that needs to pass to get to a stage where its amendable?

Does bercow still get the deciding vote if it’s a tie?
Good god that would be power-lols.
He’d definitely vote in favour
It’s obviously unrelated, but the local police helicopter is doing laps here at the moment and combined with the general fractious air of the news coverage it feels really intense. I mean, I’m in Cardiff, no one’s doing anything here, but still
FYI this trend has now inverted and GBP is trading roughly where it was before the announcement this morning. Busy, busy, busy
The DUP defending the sanctity of the Good Friday Agreement, which they opposed, is it?
Interesting, if democratically suspect. If the majority of people were against the deal, they would in effect, under this motion, be for no deal. Which would take precedent over the Benn act?
Jaysus… It’s going to be like the referendum result again, isn’t it? No MPs actually want it to pass, but it will because no-one will be paying enough attention.
Oh christ, this rules out wilson and kinnock and just leaves me relying on windmill man doesn’t it
I hate him so so much
Oh shit, this is the more subtle version of what I posted the other day! Coke-addled nightmare fuel rides again!
So No Confidence vote prior to this being tabled on Saturday is the only way out of no deal/deal vote if that tweet is correct?
Would have to be a hell of a motion to do that and fulfil the requirements of the Benn Act.
