Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

[Massive Spanner]

No wonder she hasn't spoken much before

"If you can't handle Britain at our worst, you don't deserve us at our best"

 

[Sassy Colin]

So, Corbyn is banking on there being a GE if it gets voted down and then expecting Labour to win it?

Doesn't that mean he is playing party politics just as much as the Tories?

 

[711]

Corbyn wants an election because of Brexit. He can't tell us what his policy would be at that election, even vaguely like Leave or Remain, but an election will sort it. He just doesn't know how.

 

[Penna]

Mrs May sounds quite impassioned. That's unusual.

 

[Berbaclass]

If this passes is it no deal then?

 

[Fully Fledged]

what time is the vote meant to be today?

It's gone to the vote.

 

[Rado_N]

This woman actually used the moon landing quote in reference to today's Brexit vote.

What a massive spanner.

 

[esmufc07]

If this passes is it no deal then?

No, more indicative votes Monday.

 

[Fully Fledged]

If this passes is it no deal then?

It depends who is the next PM. If the ERG get the PM then it will be close to no deal.

 

[711]

If this passes is it no deal then?

I would say no deal is more likely if it doesn't pass, but who the feck knows any more. I'm with the 'living dead' MP guy.

 

[Aboutreika18]

What a massive spanner.

Harsh on @Massive Spanner.

 

[Berbaclass]

Can’t keep up with all these votes. That’s probably what they want tbf. For regular people to just not care so they can get away with more.

Don't be fooled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Adebesi]

So is it seriously the case that the likelihood is that that there won't be any Brexit if the vote is against this afternoon?

Nothing else she has said for the past few months has been true, why would this?

Nobody has a clue where this is going or what happens next. This process just unfolds hour by hour and everyone just has to go along for the ride.

BREAKING Jacob Rees-Mogg walks into the Aye lobby with Boris Johnson.

It should read: Jacob Rees-Mogg walks into the propeller of a Spitfire with Boris Johnson.

Aren't they MPs tired of voting, just like the public? Why give MPs several goes at the same thing but the public 1 go, despite everything changing.

It should read "A bunch of cnuts".

People already speculating a 4th vote if this doesnt work

Maybe she can get it through line by line.

I agree of course. We deserve a say on anything that happens.

People already speculating a 4th vote if this doesnt work

BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith says that if Theresa May does not win today's vote, but reduces the gap down to a small margin, she may try again.

"Were she to bring the votes right down to 10, a dozen, then she is in the market to try again and maybe get it over the line," he says.

First, Parliament would try the indicative votes process again on Monday.

"They know it was a shambles and they know they’ve got to do better," he says.

Supporters of the customs union and those calling for another referendum are looking to combine their proposals, he says.

"If they do not manage to get that majority, I expect Mrs May to come back with what’s called the Withdrawal Bill. She will try to get a majority for that, and I think she will try to convert that into a meaningful vote," he says.

I get the feeling there will be a fourth vote. Can see this one not passing; but only marginally. They'll see that as another justification for a further vote.

[balaks]

Looks like a loss

 

[Infra-red]

Reckon she loses by 40.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Anyone know what the numbers are like for the pro-Brexit protest in Parliament Square?

I can understand remain voters protesting but to expect leave voters to come out and protest a vote they actually won is just beyond nonsense.

 

[mancan92]

Looks like she has lost

 

[Klopper76]

I can understand remain voters protesting but to expect leave voters to come out and protest a vote they actually won is just beyond nonsense.

I think it's to protest the fact that today was supposed to be leave day but it isn't.

 

[Smores]

They'll say it got more than the other options in indicative vote session therefore it's what should proceed. Despite just arguing against that logic

 

[Paul the Wolf]

In an ideal world perhaps with you leading the team 2 years would be adequate.
But we all know that the world is not an ideal place.

Thanks for the compliment.

Seriously, they should have decided a feasible strategy before they triggered A50. It would have taken six months to finalise the WA and the Political Declaration would reflect the strategy they had decided on.
And already moved on the next stage.

Instead here we are , they're all still playing party politics and the public are also still playing party politics. Tories suggest something, Labour poo-poos it,
Labour then suggests the same thing and the Tories poo-poo it. And overall there is not a sensible suggestion amongst the lot of them.

 

[Berbaclass]

57 I’ll go with

 

[Fully Fledged]

58 is a big majority.

 

[Penna]

Ayes 286 Noes 344

 

[esmufc07]

57 I’ll go with

Close!

 

[Adebesi]

38 I think?

 

[Klopper76]

It's a no.

 

[Adebesi]

Sorry, 58
