how do you see this playing out??That Brady amendment means the PM will be able to tweak the backstop whilst keeping it the same thing and now have a mandate to press ahead with the deal.
A disaster.

no deal
or
a deal which basically has us leaving but staying in if you know what I mean !
I can still see a no deal happeningThe latter, or a second referendum as we get closer to March with the EU therefore agreeing to extend Article 50.
General Election solves nothing. No deal definitely won't happen.
Now 80%-ish chance of it being the May agreement with a late fudge on the backstop. So Brexit Lite.

Yeah - but the ERG have already said that if the backstop doesn’t change then they won’t be voting for the deal (on the 14th I think)...
All depends on if May can get changes to the withdrawal agreement, which seems very unlikely at this point.
At that point we are back to stalemate, at which point I think Norway becomes most likely. Labour can get on board with this and most tories would be happy enough with it as well.
Think it would be a fair result of a 52/48 referendum to be honest. No one entirely happy- but we remove ourselves from the political whilst maintaining the economic.
Oh don't take my word for it. Here's the President of the European Commission today:
'European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has told Theresa May there would be no reopening of the Irish backstop or the Withdrawal Agreement, a senior EU source has told RTÉ News. The source said that Mr Juncker conveyed to the British Prime Minister in a phone call at midday Brussels time that it would be fruitless for her to come to Brussels on the basis of an attempt to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement.'
All this messing about with amendments in the HOC is a complete waste of time. It's time to get real.
yea, I know, but you were banging on about the Irish not knowing what they wanted.
The EU don't want a border either.You haven’t a clue do you. It will be changed. The language will accommodate all parties, but it will be changed......
It’s based on local studies.
Wouldn't solve a thing mate - freedom of movement maintained, you'd have exactly the same Brexit movement continue perpetually, giving legitimacy to a rise of the far right at the same time. I'd personally settle for it, even though it's stupid and you may as well stay in the EU, but yeah, it won't wash with the Brexit loons.
Needs a decisive finish IMO. Brexit needs to either be affirmed or destroyed by another vote, or a deal needs to somehow get through parliament now.
