Yvette Cooper, Labour MP, says that Teresa May wants Parliament to rule out the possibility of No Deal but party politics blocks her from making it obvious or calling for it herself. If true, May can't honestly expect her deal to get through so she must be secretly playing for an Article 50 extension or Remain herself.

Poland has suggested implementing a 5 year limit on the Irish Backstop to try and move things forward
May is expected to announce plans this afternoon to request the EU27 to make concessions on her deal and the backstop... *sigh* yet again
Most of the EU27 are getting frustrated with May and the UK however

Another update and I... I mean, words just aren't enough anymore.
May gets her deal, a date for the vote is set, finds out she'll lose so wastes a full month by delaying the vote. Is told she needs to come back with Plan B within 3 days of the vote and have another vote on it.
Reveals Plan B is Plan A and now says that the vote on 29 January on her Plan B(A) will now not be the second meaningful one but now another one of tweaking the deal on all the things the EU keeps saying haven't changed, delaying the second meaningful vote into sometime in February and likely within 6 or so weeks of the Brexit deadline.
It's just beyond stupid that the scenario exists that government, parliament and MPs in general can sit there and watch a PM hold a gun to the countries head because they aren't getting what they want in this scenario. We're beyond time for the rest of the house to grow a pair

Labour has submitted an amendment that says the Commons should be able to vote on whether to hold a second referendum. The option looks to be there to stand alongside Labours alternative Deal proposal though detractors have again said that it's tantamount to the original referendum as Labours Deal bears no relation to reality, instead promising a deal that doesn't take into effect whether Labour can actually get the EU to agree to any of it. Never the less, it's the first real step forward towards official support of a second vote the party has tabled.
