Squabbling MPs vow to hold ANOTHER round of Brexit votes – but what do they actually want?
Despite no clear outcome from last night's session there's still a huge risk of MPs forcing through a second referendum or a soft Brexit customs union
SQUABBLING MPs have vowed to hold MORE votes on Brexit next week despite agreeing nothing at all last night.
Even though there was no clear outcome from last night's indicative votes, the process isn't over yet and the rebels will try again next week.
Just as the PM predicted earlier in the week, there wasn't one popular option which MPs could back to force a way through the Brexit process.
In a historic and unprecedented move, politicians still seized control in order to have their say on a plan B for Brexit.
The most popular Brexit options were a second referendum, followed by a customs union - both of which got more votes than Theresa May's beleaguered Brexit deal.
And Monday is earmarked for more discussion and votes on the options.
Sir Oliver Letwin, the Remainer architect of the plan, said today that Britain could be heading for No Deal if nothing is sorted out after the weekend.
He told Radio 4: "At some point or other we either have to get her deal across the line or accept that we have to find some alternative if we want to avoid no deal on the 12th, which I think at the moment is the most likely thing to happen."
The choices could be whittled down from 8 to try and get one of them over the line for MPs to rally around.
One of Mrs May's allies, Damian Green, said today it was now a choice between the PM's deal and a customs union - the most popular choice among MPs.
"The customs union was only eight votes off winning yesterday," he said.
But last night's votes also show a huge split within parties for almost every outcome.
Only the Labour plan united the Tories with all but Ken Clarke opposing it.
Most Tories also voted against the idea of a second referendum and revoking Article 50 too - but the Government were very split on almost every other option.

The DUP showed to be influential too - if they had backed a customs union plan that would have won.
Sam Gyimah said today that it could have paved the way for a so-called People's Vote on the deal.
But he rejected the idea of knocking out some of the options to find one to gather around.
"[Last night's vote for a public vote] did better than some people expected, but we're at the beginning of a process," he said.
