Interesting reading yesterday along the lines of the Government being fairly relaxed about the Benn amendment passing (i.e. we cannot leave without a deal etc.), as if it does, the Government's own motion on the bill would automatically be defeated and no longer voted on. In other words, the PM would suffer a narrower defeat via that route than putting her own deal to a vote (which could lose by three figures).
I guess the rationale being that she could then 'blame' a labour amendment for the defeat and try and make the case that she hasn't lost her own party. Of course, it's all presentational but I can see some logic in an illogical world.
