    House looking quieter compared to previous votes?
    It’s not. The speaker was just choosing the tellers to count the votes.

    Do any of you know why Faisal Islam is still on Sky? It was announced last year he was moving to the BBC. I'm guessing he's waiting until Brexit is over before moving so he could be on Sky for another while yet.

    Is Letwin to take control on Wednesday for just one day or from Wednesday for a while?

    In all of this, what is forgotten is that the EU have decided what happens next. No Deal, the WA or a conditional long extension. They are Parliament's only options.

    The ayes to the right 329
    Nays to the left 302

    So ramifications of that result?

    Could be a few more resignations/sackings?

    Serious discussion only please.

    Or the soft brexiteers/remainers will feel emboldened to push for revoke/2nd referendum.

    This must increase the likelihood of a People's Vote. I mean, the impetus for this to begin with was the desire to avoid a no deal Brexit.

    An astonishing letter when you consider he was the Business Minister.
