James Cleverly (Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party) responded on the Government's behalf about the Bercow ruling (without a trace of irony).

"The speaker makes a very fair point that, without changes, the Withdrawal Agreement cannot keep being tabled.
I made the point that, had he made such a statement after the first meaningful vote, it would have informed the decisions of how some MPs voted."

So, MPs may have voted differently had they been aware of all the facts...
