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.

Far from a victory for Leadsom this demonstrates just how precarious a position the Government are in with Brexit.
