First one won't get through, second one may, third probably will but that fourth one desperately needs to
Possibly the second and the forth should get through given the voting last time. But it all depends on whether they're whipped and DUP votes against it.
Junior ministers leave after voting against amendment when they had been ordered to abstain
Lidington seems to map out that if May's Deal isn't agreed by next Wednesday MP's will face indicative votes to map out the means by which an A50 extension would be requested thereby having to make definitive decisions for once.
That's right, except for when it's tabled as a real option it seems. They're like everyone else involved in the process, forever kicking the can down the road as they see it as a second referendum being a final solution to Brexit. So they'll only actively move on it when every other option has been exhausted... which will never happen, No Deal is what will happen. It's two weeks till Brexit and another window like this won't happen for another 7-11 days, how now isn't the time... though I suspect Labours utter failure to support it either is also driving the stance. Thing is, Labour never will, it's becoming more and more obvious it was an empty gesture.

Junior ministers leave after voting against amendment when they had been ordered to abstain
There's another second referendum amendment being held back presumably for late next week, Labour have just been tasked to ask if they'll bottle that one too and have pointedly say that they will support the next one. The second amendment will effectively say the party will agree to May's Deal as long as it's put to a referendum.

"Here are some fuller quotes from what President Trump said during his photocall with Leo Varadkar, the Irish prime minister. (See 3.52pm.)
Trump said Brexit was “tearing countries apart”. He said: "It’s a very complex thing right now, it’s tearing a country apart, it’s actually tearing a lot of countries apart and it’s a shame it has to be that way but I think we will stay right in our lane."
He criticised May’s handling of Brexit, saying he was “surprised how badly it has all gone”. He said: "I’m surprised at how badly it has all gone from a stand point of negotiations but I gave the prime minister my ideas of how to negotiate it, she didn’t listen to that and that’s fine but it could have been negotiated in a different manner."
Trump, of course, was a supporter of Brexit.
He said he thought Brexit would have to be delayed. He said: "I think they are probably going to have to do something because right now they are in the midst of a very short period of time, at the end of the month and they are not going to be able to do that."
He said he thought the UK could do “a very big trade deal” with the UK after Brexit."
EDIT: I still think Trump is a narcissistic douche.
