STERLING: N. The Brady amendment
Its figurehead is Graham Brady, who as chair of the 1922 Committee is the voice
of Tory backbenchers. Yet another attempt at making the backstop more palatable
to Tory MPs, this says it should be "replaced with alternative arrangements to
avoid a hard border". Once again, this is something the EU has ruled out. The
government has indicated that it will whip MPs to back the amendment, which if
passed would allow May to go to Brussels with a clear sign from MPs of what they
want, to get a deal through parliament.
