Success of Grieve amendment means that if May's deal fails next Tuesday, MPs will have the chance to vote for a composite motion setting out what they want to happen. It's hard to believe that a government that wouldn't follow that motion, could command the House's confidence
It's hard to see the government surviving if it ignores Parliament, Parliament can bring down the government.
