I'd imagined it would be the same as last time, any reason it wouldn't be?

Bercow's selected C, D, E and G. Copying a Reddit comment over:
So no hard Brexit on the table now.Quote:
Motion C - Customs Union
Put forward for a second time by the senior Tory Kenneth Clarke, this motion seeks for a Brexit deal to include, as a minimum, a commitment to negotiate a "permanent and comprehensive UK-wide customs union" with the EU.
This was the closest of the votes in the first round of indicative votes last week, and was just six short of a majority. Expect a monumental row within the Conservative Party if this passes the floor of the Commons.
Motion D - Common Market 2.0
Tabled by the Conservative Nick Boles, this motion proposes the UK negotiates membership of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It allows continued participation in the single market and a "comprehensive customs arrangement" with the EU after Brexit - including a "UK say" on future EU trade deals - would remain in place until the agreement of a wider trade deal which guarantees frictionless movement of goods and an open border in Ireland.
Motion E - Confirmatory public vote
Drawn up by Labour MPs Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson, this measure if passed would require a public vote to ratify any Brexit deal,
This motion was tabled last week and received the highest number of votes, but was still rejected by 295 votes to 268. This means it would have to attract 27 more votes today in order to pass the Commons.
Motion G - parliamentary supremacy
SNP MP Joanna Cherry joins with Mr Grieve and MPs from other parties with this plan to seek an extension to the Brexit process, and if this is not possible then parliament will choose between either no-deal or revoking Article 50.
An inquiry would follow to assess the future relationship likely to be acceptable to Brussels and have majority support in the UK.
Unless May just sits tight and throws us off the cliff out of spite, which I can see her doing tbf.
Ah BBC just said the vote is expected at 10. :lol:
May seems absolutely hell-bent on delivering Brexit and for some reason thinks that her deal is doing that and is the only possible way of doing so.
I used to have some sympathy for her having to clear up Cameron’s mess, but her ridiculous stubbornness has pissed me off. How can she not see the utter fuck up she is making of this.
They’ve done it again.
Utter, utter cunts.
