The Cabinet will meet tomorrow morning for a five hour marathon meeting to decide the fate of Brexit

MPs voted on four alternatives: a customs union, Norway-style soft Brexit, second referendum and revocation

All four motions were defeated - with the customs union plan closest to victory after it lost 276 to 273

A second referendum got most votes overall but lost by a bigger margin. MPs voted 292 to 280 votes

Tomorrow’s Cabinet is the next crucial step and MPs are scheduled to debate and vote again on Wednesday

If May pivots to soft Brexit, she will lose Brexiteer ministers. If she goes for No Deal, she loses Remainers

Britain must have a plan in place by an EU summit on April 10 next week if it wants to avoid No Deal on April 12

It would seem the customs union proposal should be reworked to get the 4 or 5 votes needed to pass
