Two important updates:

- The government has lost the vote on whether it is in contempt of parliament for not publishing the legal advice it received from the Attorney General. They must now published (due tomorrow).

- The Advocate General to the European Court of Justice has given his view that the UK can unilaterally withdraw Article 50 without needing the agreement of the EU27. It is likely that the ECJ will follow this when it delivers its judgement on the matter.

Further important update:

"MPs have voted for an amendment that will ensure MPs can vote in favour of a “plan B” option in January if Theresa May’s deal gets voted down. It was passed by 321 votes to 299 - a majority of 22."

This may effectively see the end of a no-deal outcome.
