As MPs woke up to another Brexit morning after a night before of unpredictable voting some things were becoming clearer, with the caveat that it is not easy to see how they will be achieved.
It is clear a majority of MPs do not want Britain to leave the European Union without a deal.
It is clear a majority of MPs can unite around the idea of an approach to a negotiation that they want the Prime Minister to now adopt, her own plan having been defeated.
The majority for each of these amendments is not composed of the same MPs, some but not all.
What MPs have asked the Prime Minister to do is mainly what has already been asked for and refused.
