The rule of thumb is to allow one hour per amendment. The rules also permit continuous sitting until the agenda is cleared, but that means they’re looking at more than 100 hours of continuous debate. That takes them well into Saturday evening, and at that point they haven’t even begun debating the anti no deal bill.

If the Brexiteers in the Lords have themselves well organised and they’ve got enough Red Bull, then they will stall the bill until it is forcibly killed off by prorogation.

One can only hope. But it’s a bit desperate isn’t it.
