The backstop would go in any agreement. It's unlikely that we would never reach an agreement with the biggest economic block in the world.

Personally if I was a Brexiter I would say go for it. Brexit is 100% locked, done, tonight if this bill passes. It's over and done with If they vote it down then yes maybe they'll get no deal or maybe there will be an extension and then who knows what'll happen.
