- Theresa May offers to step down earlier than planned if her MPs back her Brexit deal.
- The above amendments are not binding on the government but will put pressure on MPs to back a ‘softer Brexit’ or the PM’s deal. MPs reject all Brexit options.
- Pound hits 1.1784 (+0.57%) against the Euro and 1.3267 vs the dollar (+0.48%), then losses half its gains immediately after DUP announces that it still will not support the PM’s deal.
- The government tabled a motion to allow it to bring the withdrawal agreement for a third vote (MV3) on Friday if necessary.
- The Speaker of the House reaffirmed his position that a third vote on the PM’s deal would only be possible if there are ‘substantial changes’ to the deal.
- Many Conservative MPs’ including Boris Johnson and the Chairman of the ERG, who didn’t support Theresa May’s deal are now indicating that they would support it.
- More votes may take place to eliminate the least popular amendments and end up with one that has the most support.
- A statutory instrument was approved by Parliament in order to delay Brexit scheduled for the 29th March and to adopt the new dates as agreed with the EU last week.
