BBC now playing footage of Corbyn wailing earlier today that the Prime Minister has failed because she can’t build a consensus. How hollow he sounds now.

For example Tories might file in behind Customs Union because it's so close to getting a majority and is the easiest to implement with May's agreement. It might also be possible some people voted Revoke and not Second referendum. They might shift. Common Market 2.0 supporters could split between Customs Union and Referendum.
It's run-off time. I think Ken Clark's Customs Union will get a majority next week.

The paper ballots were supposed to stop people looking over their shoulders in the lobbies and voting tactically. If they were actually still all sitting there with their papers poring over the options and trying to second guess each other then that’s actually worse in my view. We are at a point of national crisis, Parliament had the chance to draw a line under it, but instead they decided to play political games. Disgraceful.
