WHAT COULD HAPPEN ON TUESDAY? ANYTHING
You would need gung-ho spirit to predict what’s next but PM’S big Brexit vote might go four ways
A POSTPONEMENT
PM might retreat rather than risk heavy defeat and take time to clarify the backstop meant to stop hard border between Northern Ireland and Republic.
A NARROW WIN
A narrow victory for PM is still possible but unlikely and hinges on whether she can persuade hostile MPS that there is no “magic alternative” to her deal.
A NARROW DEFEAT
If she loses by less than 50 votes, PM is likely to travel to Brussels for a meeting on Thursday to appeal for some changes to the agreement then try again.
A HEAVY DEFEAT
A resounding defeat for Mrs May is still tipped as the most likely outcome with more than 100 of her own MPS said to be opposed to her proposed Brexit deal.
