    Pointless anyway as unless they agree to the WA the default is no deal.

    Amendment A (Caroline Spelman) Result

    This calls for MPs to reject leaving without a deal in any circumstance.

    PASSED

    Yes - 312
    No - 308
    Majority - 4

    That are insane!

    Must they not adjust legislation accordingly?

    A non-binding vote? With a slim majority? Where have I seen that before?

    Does this oblige the British government to revoke A50 if it gets down to the wire with no deal in place?

    Surprised it was so close. Many MPs still away with the fairies, or should we say unicorns.

    Nothing to do with that in the slightest, bizzare comment given the political editor of Sky News is a woman and Kay Burley is playing a blinder. You see reverse sexism everywhere.

    Pointless either way as the EU will never buy it.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Nope. Non-binding vote, far as I'm aware. As someone else said, it's a bit of a pointless vote, but at least they're making a little progress on what they actually do and don't support.

    Apparently, Ministers voting against the Gov. means automatic resignations.

    Technically speaking they weren't voting against no deal off the table, but against this particular version of it. Party politics and a preference for a more meaningless type of brexit off the table vote. But who knows for sure?

    So May whipped her government to vote No, is that why the gap was so small?

    Sorry, I’m getting confused about the structure of the amendments and what yes and no mean.
