Made from Truth and Lies

So, the vote is off. Which means it can't be amended.

When does May bring forward the vote - which needs to be passed for the deal to take hold?

But if she does that, how long until enough of the DUP and her own party decide that this is so self-destructive that it's worth a vote of confidence?

(I'm not sure what she thinks she's going to get from the EU which will make people happier about the backstop.)

I totally agree that the government ought to be acting as a banker-of-last-resort for the unbanked.

And once we have 100% coverage of that, I will be happy with shops being allowed to turn away the…
