IF SHE LOSES

Last week, MPs passed an amendment to the Brexit bill to force the PM to tell the

Commons what her plan B is by the following Monday.

If it is close, Mrs May could return to Brussels to try to wring further concessions on the Irish backstop, which is a major impediment for many Brexiteers and the DUP.

She could bring the vote back to the House of Commons as many times as it takes to pass – or as many times as is feasible.

MPs could also decide only a second referendum can break the deadlock and a cross-party group has begun paving the way for legislation for a second vote.

NO DEAL

The default is that we crash out without a deal but a majority of MPs are keen to avoid that because of potential economic damage. Minister Chris Heaton-Harris insisted there is not a way to block a no-deal exit.

But MPs have won an amendment that will force the Government to seek approval for any no-deal spending.

In theory, MPs could try to use this to prevent it from happening. NO BLOCKS Heaton-Harris A FORMER pub owner has been fined £14,000 after 186 people were poisoned by a Mother’s Day meal.
