@adamfleming tells @BBCSounds #Brexitcast that, in the wake of last night’s vote, “team Barnier have now given up on this deal getting through Parliament. They’re in no deal territory now”

@SkyNews analysis suggesting the Prime Minister’s #Brexit deal will be defeated by more than 100 votes in this evening’s vote

[NIGAG @NIGovAffGroup]

If this happens, the scheduled order of things is:

🗓 Vote tomorrow on whether @HouseofCommons supports leaving the EU without a deal; if that’s defeated

🗓 Another vote on Thursday on extending Article 50. Crucially, MPs will have opportunity to table amendments on *how long*

Polls that ask about a ‘People’s Vote’ but don’t specify that remain would be an option consistently show support for a 2nd vote. Polls that suggest remaining in the EU would be a potential outcome have very different results.

[NIGAG @NIGovAffGroup]

Interesting analysis from John Curtice on @timesredbox podcast on what the polls really show about public opinion on a 2nd referendum. Says the short answer is we have no idea. Polls that ask different questions throw up very different results

[NIGAG @NIGovAffGroup]

The applications are from Peader Tóibín, former @sinnfeinireland TD who resigned from the party at the end of 2018 over its support for a Yes vote in the referendum to repeal the 8th amendment

Interesting findings in latest @LucidTalk poll. Among respondents:

➡️ 52% overall support a 2nd EU referendum, 27% of unionists
➡️ Given a choice between May’s deal and no deal, 37% overall support no deal
➡️ 60% overall think #Brexit makes a UI more likely in nxt 10 years 👇
