I understand that. And my prediction is that the EU will grant a last-minute, face-saving, but not legally binding change (i.e. not a direct change to the withdrawal agreement) that the ERG will reluctantly support.

Because the choice will be either that or no Brexit (given that, if it came to the crunch, labour will vote through a deal rather than allow no deal)
