NEW: Dominic Grieve’s ‘meaningful vote’ amendment as tabled in the Lords by Lord Hailsham. Be in no doubt- if the Govt renege on their promise to adopt its principles, this will pass in the Lords on Monday and we’ll have the numbers to pass it in the Commons afterwards #Simples 
What is going on is very straightforward: the hard right of the Tory party want the Govt to have a passport to crash out of the EU with no deal if Parliament rejects the Brexit deal - the PM, their hostage, doesn’t have the numbers in the Commons for this #EUWithdrawalBill
A prediction for next week: if he hasn’t already done so, Brexit Secretary @DavidDavisMP will threaten to resign if the PM gives in to the Tory rebels and accepts the UK cannot crash out of the EU with no deal unless Parliament approves it #EUWithdrawalBill
Turns out I was correct: DD has ALREADY threatened to resign over the Grieve amendment.Big questions over the next few days: 1. Who runs the Tory party? David Davis,Jacob Rees-Mogg and the ERG,or the PM?
2. Who runs the country? A PM taken hostage by her hard right or Parliament?
2. Who runs the country? A PM taken hostage by her hard right or Parliament?
