I see Letwin got his amendment to the government motion passed, that will allow the government motion to have amendments tabled to it on Saturday.
Mark Urban (@MarkUrban01) Tweeted: An insider from one of the EU institutions here told me today that after UK made its initial offer here 2 weeks ago, Michel Barnier told him, 'we will have to get them to move to a Northern Ireland only backstop, but convince them that's not what's happening'

It will be close, but unless the DUP at least abstain i cant see it.
As it stands, unless the DUP have a change of heart, he will need all tory MPs, the 21 Tory MP’s that had the whip removed, and some Labour MP to vote for it. It will be close, but i don't think he will have the numbers
Personally i hope it gets through as its as good a deal we are ever likely to get given the circumstances, and I cant see the EU negotiating a 3rd deal.
Brexiteer MPs need to think hard, refuse this and the risk of no brexit at all becomes a real risk

I'll give an analogy , a tip from Tom Watson the golfer to a young lad , if you want to be good , play with good players , if you want a good time , .... who cares what you do
DUP are definite no, cant see Grieve voting for it possibly not P Hammond either.
ERG were having more meetings in number 10 today, a similar number of meetings as the DUP had so they must have doubts. I think the deal hinges on their support.

Only thing they have ever agreed on at stormont is giving themselves a pay rise

Keeping Northern Ireland tied as closely as possible to the EU will be the second thing they agree on. It only needs a simple majority

Northern Ireland's say
Because Northern Ireland will be set apart from the rest of the UK when it comes to customs and other EU rules, the deal gives its Assembly a vote on these provisions.
But this vote would not happen until four years after the end of the transition period that is due to run until the end of 2020 - so no earlier than January 2025.
If the Northern Irish Assembly votes against the provisions, they would lose force two years later during which time the "joint committee" would make recommendations to the UK and EU on "necessary measures".
If the Assembly accepts the continuing provisions by a simple majority, they will then apply for another four years. If the deal has "cross-community support" then they will apply for eight years, or until a new agreement on the future relationship is reached if that comes sooner.
The deal defines cross-community support as more than 50% each of unionist and nationalist Assembly members voting in favour, or at least 40% of members from each designation if in total at least 60% of members have voted in favour.
The UK government has said that if the Northern Ireland Assembly is still not sitting at that point, it will make alternative arrangements to make sure a vote can take place.

Onus would/will be on unionism to regain a majority in assembly.
In effect it would be a quasi border poll every 4 years

Must admit, I was thinking something a bit more specific

Seems a bit pointless having a vote. SF will never vote to harden Irish border.
