Well, May said she wanted to get in the history books when she first became PM, and she's certainly achieved that - first government ever to be held in contempt of parliament, and now her government's been on the receiving end of the worst defeat in a parliamentary vote in history, after losing the vote on her withdrawal agreement by a margin of about 230 votes.

For reference, the previous worst defeat was suffered in 1924. By a Labour government who weren't even the biggest party in parliament at the time.

And yet last night showed us that nothing from yesterday mattered ... 

Theresa May is just the ERG and DUP's play thing so no deal is looking more likely than ever as time keeps passing. It's passed the point of redemption to stake out another referendum, a general election is also out of the question too, and I also wonder if the remainer rebels within the conservative party have what it takes to defy their own party to revoke article 50 but seeing them against a vote of no confidence means that they are content with letting no deal happen ... 

As for labour, does Corbyn actually care at all ? At some point he's going to have to reveal his hand along with his true face ... 

So little options with so little time left ...
