As predicted, the government has obeyed the letter of the Grieve Amendment and agreed to put its plan B to Parliament within 3 days ... but as the amendment didn’t specify that it needed to be a fully worked solution to be voted on immediately, it won’t be. The government will take a further 8 days before plan B is voted on, *if* there is anything to be voted on at that time.
Leadsom 1, Grieve/Bercow 0.
The government has also taken the precaution of declining to introduce anything else to Parliament over the next week that could be amended by mischievous remainers.
The gloves are off.
