So @CiceroGlobal have crunched the numbers and have @NickBoles's Common Market 2.0 motion winning by 307 to 253, now that Labour are whipping in favour of it. As the least Brexity of all the Brexit options, that would put an enormous predatory cat among the Tory pigeons...

And it would reinforce the PM's case to her rebel MPs that if they hold out against her deal till it can't even make a Carrie style hand-up-through-the-grave comeback, they may end up with the kind of Brexit that would might well be identified as Remain in a police line up

Not over half of the Commons voting for it (Sinn Fein abstain, as always, and cabinet members have been told to abstain as they id before - not sure how Cicero Global put that in their numbers), but it could be a significant margin it's passed by.

I love Peston's metaphors - Carrie, police line up, predatory cats ... a bit mixed, though.
