Well, it’s not dead quite yet, it's just that MEPs have beaten it to a pulp. The UK Government could in theory still save it during the so-called ‘conciliation’ stage, but without a veto, that's gonna be difficult.
It's helpful to see which MEPs joined in the assault by adopting amendments from Socialist Spanish MEP Alejandro Cercas. A list can be found here:

UK MEPs are in red. Interesting to note the number of EPP members (the Conservatives' 'friends' in Europe) voting with Cercas...
