it was an interesting tweak today from caroline lucas...ference where they stick together these mega motions. that's what the mps thought they could end up doing on monday. because the hilary behn motion went down, the speaker sticking... in my come back to the government votes. interesting. what are the chances theresa may and jeremy corbyn are working together on a deadlock? mr corbyn came out sounding quite cautious. if it goes beyond the 22nd of may, clearly it does involve another european election, which the government does absolutely not want to be involved in. the prime minister has made that clear in the house as well as in meetings with me. and that is why she is very keen to get a vote through the house next week in order to get an agreement with ee you which will mean that britain does not have to take part in eu elections. the shadow foreign secretary wrote to the cabinet and said you should not accept a deal with the private investor without that being on the table. —— without the prime minister. is that a redline for you? we

point of order, caroline lucas.king at these figures, i would like to reinforce the comments from the right honourable member for twickenham. i regret what the honourable member for grantham had to do, but if you were to link to his proposal the opportunity to have a public vote, we would have a huge majority in this house. the idea that we would avoid doing that for fear of the democratic moment of the european elections is frankly absurd. why would we be afraid of one democratic event and the fear of that, avoid a further one? that makes no sense. the prime minister's deal is dead. we should look at where the majorities and this house lie. they lie with a softer brexit, going against a people's vote to the country. point of order, the father of the house, mr kenneth clarke. mr speaker, i have got a damn site near a majority in this house than anybody else has so far. i fear the malthouse compromise is dead. three is quite near. we cannot go on with everybody voting against every proposition. there were people who
