More mayhem, this time on the Conservative benches with Theresa May sandwiched between Remainers and Leavers. Will be interesting to see how this pans out!

Theresa May faces showdown with rebels over ‘no-deal’ Brexit
Theresa May is facing a major confrontation with pro-European Tory rebels after they accused her of reneging on an “agreed” form of words giving parliament new powers to oversee the final stages of Brexit and block a “no deal” exit from the EU.
Dominic Grieve, the Conservative former attorney-general, said an amendment tabled by Mrs May on Thursday was “unacceptable” and accused her of going back on a deal that the rebels thought they had agreed.
The breakdown of trust between Mrs May and the pro-Europeans is highly dangerous for the prime minister, and leaves her vulnerable to a possible defeat when the flagship EU withdrawal bill returns to the Commons next week.
Mr Grieve and at least a dozen Tory rebels could join with Labour to defeat Mrs May.
Mrs May tabled the crucial amendment just before 5pm — the deadline for consideration in Monday’s debates in the House of Lords — with Westminster waiting to see whether she would take on her pro-European wing or Tory Eurosceptics.
