10 am: Raab tells journos he's standing firm against May's deal
12.55: Raab tells parliament he'll be voting for May's deal.
Still, it's hours until the vote so he'll have plenty of time to flipflop a few more times back and forth before then

Principled, consistent and with a backbone of finest British jelly - surely we are looking at our next PM?

Think yourself lucky I've got three cases of Champagne I have got to drink now! 

Wouldn't a six pack of special brew be more in keeping with the whole Brexit thinking?

I think the addition of a unicorn broach is rather fitting for today....

Even more fitting is that I get a 404 when I try to follow that link!

tbf "most intelligent of the likely contenders for the Tory leadership" isn't exactly Mastermind level is it?

Rumours from the voting lobbies that the government is going to lose again, this time by around 40 votes.

Loses by 58.  That's the end of the PM's deal, finally.  She'll never be able to bring it back again after that.

You taking bets on that? Nice to see the oh so principled Rees-Mogg stabbing the DUP in the back. Spineless hypocrite

I tend not to bet.  But I think this has to be the end of the road now.

I'm still going for a long extension of Art 50 and a GE.

Probably the most likely next step.  It will be interesting to see whether the rejection of the May deal will strengthen support for the alternatives being voted on again on Monday.

Remarkably she seems to be continuing to try and bribe talk the DUP into taking the deal.

Which would STILL leave her 48 short.
