MPs will have a choice between Theresa May's Brexit deal and an extension to Article 50, according to a report on the ITV News website.
The report, an exclusive by Angus Walker, claims that Olly Robbins could be heard in a hotel bar talking about the process of leaving the EU.
Robbins was overheard by other guests as he gossiped about Brexit, the Cabinet and MPs and was speaking in such a manner could be heard fairly easily.

The ITV reporter said that he was "hearing chunks of their conversation and not every single word".
Robbins is reported to have said: “The issue is whether Brussels is clear on the terms of extension. In the end they will probably just give us an extension.”
The Prime Minister has repeatedly said that the only choices facing MPs are her deal and a no-deal Brexit.
The leader of the SNP at Westminster Ian Blackford called May’s “binary choice” between her deal and a no deal laughable and urged her to end the “economic madness”.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
