As @alexwickham reported this week, not all pro-People's Vote MPs were on board with scrapping Tuesday's amendment. One tells me they wanted to go ahead with it: "We are running out of time." There is concern that they're now relying on Cooper, Grieve amendments being passed.

Exclusive: So what's going on with the People's Vote campaign? Here's more inside info on that Wollaston announcement today, why they think the Grieve amendment could be crucial, and frustration over campaign tactics Lots to get your teeth into in herehttps://www.businessinsider.com/inside-the-peoples-vote-campaign-to-win-mps-to-back-a-second-brexit-referendum-2019-1?r=US&IR=T …
PV strategy is to "knock down" other Brexit options like Labour's plan, Norway+ to leave MPs with a choice: referendum vs no-deal Not all campaigners support this. One said it was "f***ing mad" & no different to Downing St policy of May's deal vs no-dealhttps://www.businessinsider.com/inside-the-peoples-vote-campaign-to-win-mps-to-back-a-second-brexit-referendum-2019-1?r=US&IR=T …
PV campaign believes they'll soon have a Commons majority. 15 ministers are ready to resign to back a referendum, a Tory source said this week. But Labour MPs say the importance of the whip is being overstated & MPs are not waiting on Corbyn's approval.https://www.businessinsider.com/brexit-uk-food-companies-increasingly-scared-about-no-deal-theresa-may-2019-1?r=US&IR=T …
Meanwhile, pro-People's Vote MPs admit it'll be harder to forge a referendum before Brexit day if Grieve's amendment doesn't pass on Tuesday. That's why some opposed decision to scrap plans to table an amendment next week.

And on that note, I’m signing off for a few days. Spending the weekend in Seville (recommendations please!)
Excellent news. The UK has already voted. A #PeoplesVote is a #LosersVote!
A #CorruptReferendum is not a valid reason for leaving the EU. By failing to push for a proper investigation into alleged fraud surrounding the referendum, he's complicit in that fraud.
