WEEK THAT COULD DECIDE OUR DESTINY

TODAY

Theresa May is hoping to present a new version of her Brexit deal to MPs in the Commons today after demanding changes from Brussels to the controversial Northern Ireland backstop.

OPTION A: If she has secured concessions from Brussels, MPs would get to study an amended deal.

OPTION B: With no concessions, the deal will bear a striking resemblance to the one that was dealt a crushing blow by MPs.

TOMORROW

The Commons will vote on whether to support a revised deal in the second socalled ‘meaningful vote’. In January it was rejected by a majority of 230 in an historic defeat for the Government.

OPTION A: If it is passed, then the UK is set to leave the European Union on March 29 as planned.

OPTION B: If MPs vote against it again, they will be back in the Commons on Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY

If her withdrawal deal is defeated, as seems likely, the Prime Minister has promised to hold a vote on Wednesday on whether the country should leave the EU without a deal. It would take place just hours after the Chancellor’s Spring Statement. OPTION A: If MPs vote for it, a No Deal Brexit would take place. OPTION B: If politicians vote against leaving the EU without a deal, they’ll go back again to the voting lobbies.

LATER ON WEDNESDAY OR ON THURSDAY

A vote against No Deal would see MPs given the chance to delay Brexit beyond March 29, Mrs May has pledged. This would take place on either Wednesday or Thursday.

OPTION A: If MPs back a delay, then the PM would have to go back to Brussels to negotiate an extension of the two-year Article 50 process.

OPTION B: Rejection of an extension, would mean the country leaves the European Union on March 29 with or without a deal.
