Quote of the day 9th January 2019

"It isn’t enough for Parliament to vote against a no deal exit – it has to vote for something to have in its place, whether that is another referendum, an early election, the withdrawal agreement as currently written or the withdrawal agreement following revisions to the political declaration, or simply to revoke Article 50 without a referendum."

(Stephen Bush, writing in the New Statesman, in an article called

"Parliament can agree that it doesn't want a no deal Brexit, but that's it"

in which he suggests that the narrow margin of victory for the Yvette Copper amendment suggests that although a majority of MPs are strongly committed to avoiding a "No deal" Brexit, there does not at the moment appear to be a majority for any specific alternative path.)
