“Dominic Grieve’s last-minute amendment focuses on a no-deal scenario. It does not give Parliament the opportunity to reject a bad deal, which is what the Lords’ original amendment arguably intended,” says Agata Gostyńska-Jakubowska, a senior analyst at the Centre for European Reform think-tank. The final vote itself, she argues, is less important than the leverage it gives MPs to pressure the government to change its negotiating stance.
