Tomorrow is the vote and if the agreement does not pass the British Parliament there will be no more meetings.

Late Monday, Cabinet Office Minister David Lidington announced in the House of Commons that the two sides had agreed on "legally binding changes" to a portion of the deal relating to the Irish border....
