it will not our own, that is not, it will castrate this parliament and that is why i am so much against it and the british people absolutely voted by 17.4 million people to vote for the idea of our leaving the european union. the shenanigans that we witnessed tonight is a demonstration of the anarchy of those who actually created an abominable situation that is undemocratic, chaotic. thank you very much. if you are justjoining us, it is important that i take you through what is happening this evening. we have had votes on eight options, a variety of options, a full gambit of options, but i suppose the headline news is that none of them have got a majority and we look at the vote. let me take you through them one by one. that's an ideal option at the top, the next one was the common market,

i know a+ is also what it snowed, that's quite a surprising one because it was one of the favourites of all the options, but there is nowhere near majority for that. the third one is that no a+, customs union without a customs union i should say, 65 and 377. the labour plan is fair, backed byjeremy corbyn of course, which is a permanent customs union with close alignment to the single market. 237-307. a alignment to the single market. 237—307. a customs union, not quite an important one to get in. 264, 272 against. there is revoking the article 50, if there is no deal. as they come towards brexit bay, 184-293. the they come towards brexit bay, 184—293. the public vote for it on

any withdrawal agreement, 268—295 finishing top at the pilot this evening, and the plan b option which isa evening, and the plan b option which is a standstill arrangement with the eu if we cannot pass a withdrawal agreement, 139—422. from the economist has justjoined agreement, 139—422. from the economist hasjustjoined me now. when you make of all of that? looking at it and hearing you go through it, i'm thinking what you are seeing is the house beginning to divide along the lines at either customs union being the nearest thing you can imagine in the real world to really kind ofjust staying m, world to really kind ofjust staying in, orthat world to really kind ofjust staying in, or that vote, world to really kind ofjust staying in, orthat vote, it's world to really kind ofjust staying in, or that vote, it's nicely phrased in parliamentary language, not to say a second referendum, but it means something along those lines. those are the options that seem to come up closest to the majority. and of christ when you

start to take some out and the votes tra nsfer start to take some out and the votes transfer around its not really clear, that to me is what's interesting is the other idea, that norway one, getting go as far as i... iwould have norway one, getting go as far as i... i would have predicted that would have done better i imagined what happened was it was split with customs union, also the labour idea, was talking to the cabinet minister, who said it could easily be around the labour idea even though it's very vague but i didn't go well either, so if a clarifying thing. only five short i guess, i suppose those in common, is a permanent customs union. i become a thing mic element to the labour plan is not very well defined, would that be fairto very well defined, would that be fair to say? that's very well fair to say. that's why a pause on it because if you say, if you take away

the customs union and put in a few more of us, but you have not say what it is, you haven't said what the differences, we know it means you want to stay closer but once people kind of fell into it and realise what the customs union will be, would it be trading for you, that you absolutely give away, basically stare you are or would he be asking something different, i think you then start to divide off again. i think what i take away from the tonight is that it means we are infor the tonight is that it means we are in for the long haul. we are in a long extension now, probably the european elections, because, i mean you might get a majority for one of these plans over the course of the next week, but then you've got to bolt onto that boat, and then you can push it through and leave the eu until people say yes that's what they want. if you stick to what's going on there, then. i'll challenge you on that what if it's not a long extension i understand where and as sort of here, it's, here's another

idea put my doesn't want to get the deal over the realise that the period —— premise this weekend and what she said today may come true she may have to, whether they deal goes through it's not in her hands any more, it's possible in the short extension could be extended a little bit to try and just allow, you know, the problem is people are still getting their heads into the right kind of place, that might work. i think the long extension, a lot of people get very worried about that because they'll think it's just embroiling us for and ever and ever without any hope of a resolution. i never thought her deal is dead but i realise that's on fashionable net view, the bp don't look like they're coming back on site at this, they can't do it by themselves they dup have to move in the next week or bet 01’ even have to move in the next week or bet or even i have to accept it it's not happening. thank you. right, let's go to rise, take us through the

votes tonight and tell us what it means. don't know if i can do the last bed but i can certainly get a free spirit which is for desi tuning m, free spirit which is for desi tuning in, writing you through what mps have decided or as the case may be not decided in the indicative votes, in the house of commons in short version of the stories they were asked a number of questions and they replied no, no, i know. they'll give you this longer version of the story. here her all the options put in front of them. right here makes snow, on all eight options there we re snow, on all eight options there were more people voting know than yes. we have looked at some things, let's just look at those that got the most yes votes. the most popular options where the public about a second referendum i waited to leave the eu at all. the office of the idea telling it into a customs union and picking up a number of votes. these are being proposed by another

—— a number of mps, this proposed by margaret beckett, used by can collect, so you have labour and conservative, also with picking out revoking article 50 picked up at 184 beds for yes. still worthy of note. let's hear from margaret beckett who tabled the motion. it's the people who should choose if on the terms now on offer, they still wish to proceed. the areas that should be the final decision on this, which is the final decision on this, which is the first stage only and are with child from the eu. let me show you how mps have been voting. jake barry, shared the ballot paper saying i voted for everything except for a no deal and if you look very closely, you see him marking no deal there, here's another one, saying i don't know if i'll get arrested for

tweeting this, but i think he can sleep easy, here he is playing out the only one he supported was marcus's plan to negotiate preferential trade arrangements with the eu, if there is no deal in place. that also got a no, this is luke who is a labour mp saying... why declan blue, about to go on the votes. remember, the mps can say yes or a note to all of these options, each one gave them a chance to say yes or no, this is another labour and p, a welsh labour mp saying...

remember, they said no to i love them but also remember, the whole thing happen because the conservative backbenchers proposed this on monday and mps back to the idea, including, 30 of the prime minister's mps who rebelled against 01’ minister's mps who rebelled against or amongst them, were three government ministers who had to resign in order to support him. here he is after the vote. it's of course a very great disappointment that the house is not chosen to find a majority for any proposition. however, those of us up at the proposal for it as a way of proceeding predicted we would not reach a majority. and, indeed for that reason put forward the business of house motion designed to allow the house to reconsider not as on monday. yet — — the house to reconsider not as on monday. yet -- content has been tweeting.

remember, as she explained so many times, the eu would ideally like it to go through, that's looking difficult at the moment. let's bring in christian, to ask them to help us with the impossible task of trying to plot the next few days along. we thought we spoke a few hours ago, friday was a big day it could be another boat but i guess we don't know for sure any more. now, i suspect she will bring it back for a vote though we'll see what comes after tomorrow. i like they say in the house, but i was looking at the results and it's amazing what you see when you look at them or mark, when you look at the customs union from this, there was no majority tonight for any of them. but he felt just eight short, and it was the closest one to bring them back majority in favour of one of the
