Bewildered, surprised, angry, contemptuous – take your pick.</p> <p>Even in this strangest of political worlds, yesterday was something else. Hardline Brexiteers had tabled four amendments to the Trade Bill which, on face value, would wreck Theresa May’s Chequers plan.</p> <p>They had no chance of succeeding because Labour wasn’t going to back them, so it was simply intended as a show of strength – this is how many potential rebels we have Prime Minister.</p> <h4><strong>–</strong> <strong>Swapping one set of rebels for another –</strong> </h4> <p>Except, yesterday afternoon, the Government <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180717081032/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/07/16/brexiteers-claim-chequers-plan-dead-climbdown-theresa-may/">decided to accept all four amendments </a>and claim that they were perfectly compatible with the Brexit White Paper. Cue Remainer outrage, a europhile rebellion (the biggest so far at 14), and Labour pilling in.</p> <p>The Government won the two key votes – but by a margin of three, and only because of the backing of three Labour Brexiteers and the absence of some Remainers.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="dynamicMpu section"> <div id="advert_tmg_dyn_0" class="js-advert advert " data-adtype="dyn_0"></div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="article-body-text component "> <div class="component-content"> <p><span class="m_first-letter m_first-letter--flagged">L</span>ast night, I tried to squash a mosquito and managed to squish my own thumb instead. Downing Street might empathise.</p> <h4><strong>– Resignations left and right –</strong></h4> <p>It really was an extraordinary day in the chamber, with Tory MPs laying into each other (Michael Deacon captures the scene in his sketch). Summing it all up was the resignation of defence minister Guto Bebb. He is believed to have done so at the door of the voting lobby, having decided that he wanted to back the Government’s original anti-amendment position.</p> <p>That made him the eighth member of the Government to resign, following the Brexiteer Scott Mann, a parliamentary private secretary at the Treasury.</p> <h4><strong>– More rebellions ahead –</strong> </h4> <p>The part that is hardest to fathom is that the Government hasn’t actually succeeded in making its plan any more popular with Brexiteer MPs. Instead, it ensured that Remainers are once again against the plans.</p> <p>Having appeared to have seen off a europhile amendment from Anna Soubry that would keep the UK in the customs union, ministers will now have to face down another.</p> <p>Tom Newton-Dunn at The Sun reports that Tory MPs Nicky Morgan and Stephen Hammond, in conjunction with two Labour MPs, have tabled an amendment that would create a sort of customs union backstop.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="dynamicMpu section"> <div id="advert_tmg_dyn_1" class="js-advert advert " data-adtype="dyn_1"></div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="article-body-text component "> <div class="component-content"> <h4><strong>– On the backfoot –</strong></h4> <p><span class="m_first-letter">T</span>he amendment would keep Britain in the customs union if there is no deal by January 2019. It can only pass if it’s backed by Labour, but Downing Street is apparently worried as such an outcome could incentivise the EU to stall until January. No10 is now scrambling to keep the Chequers deal alive.</p> <p>The Government is moving to bring recess forward five days, ostensibly to avoid MPs having to come back to Parliament for a single day on Monday, but it looks like a desperate move to calm the situation.</p> <p>If their tweets are to be believed, several Tory MPs may well rebel on that too.</p> <h4><strong>– Grassroots alight –</strong> </h4> <p>Downing Street is also trying its hardest to get the grassroots onside. May will address members on Wednesday, after Conservative Central HQ emailed constituency chairmen pleading with them to publicly support the proposal. It all looks rather chaotic and hopeless and there is a sense among some in Westminster that last night may have finally shown that there is no version of Brexit the PM can get through Parliament.</p> <p>As is now inevitably the case, Westminster’s psychodrama has taken place with barely half an eye trained on Brussels.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="dynamicMpu section"> <div id="advert_tmg_dyn_2" class="js-advert advert " data-adtype="dyn_2"></div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="article-body-text component "> <div class="component-content"> <p><span class="m_first-letter m_first-letter--flagged">G</span>oing back to those Rees-Mogg amendments, the Government appears to think they are of little consequence. Either because the wording is legally meaningless, or because they can be undone during a vote Parliament must have on a post-Brexit customs arrangement.</p> <h4><strong>– Those other negotiations –</strong> </h4> <p>But what will Brussels think? As our Europe Editor, Peter Foster, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180717081032/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/07/16/attack-parry-retreat-will-eu-will-respond-theresa-mays-chequers/">explained yesterday</a>, the EU will probably end up choosing to ignore the future relationship for now and instead focus on getting the Withdrawal Agreement across the line in time for March – lest we forget, the agreement is only 80 per cent complete.</p> <h4><strong>– Why Ireland matters –</strong></h4> <p>Yet that has one major difficulty. Despite the impression given by many in Westminster, London and Brussels are still at odds over the most important remaining issue: the Irish backstop. The EU says it must be Northern Ireland only, the UK insists it must apply to the whole of Britain.</p> <p>Oh, and one of the amendments passed last night, which rules out the UK being a part of the EU’s VAT system, appears, in theory, to destroy any prospect of avoiding a hard border in Ireland.</p> <p>If a reminder was needed of the stakes at play, it was provided last week by the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180717081032/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-foyle-west-44844667">six nights of rioting </a>and petrol bombing in Londonderry/Derry and the attack on the home of former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="dynamicMpu section"> <div id="advert_tmg_dyn_3" class="js-advert advert " data-adtype="dyn_3"></div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="article-body-text component "> <div class="component-content"> <p><span class="m_first-letter m_first-letter--flagged">I</span>n the meantime, it becomes harder and harder to see a way out of this Parliamentary thicket.</p> <p><em><strong>Like what you read?
