He is such a coward. Hiding behind the most transparent of excuses.

As he will refuse this, what's the likely backlash, or will there be none?
I don’t doubt the impact but the context is deliberately and persistently lied about by the left wing outrage crew. That’s what annoys me.
Did you read the article? It criticised burka bans and defended their right to wear whatever they want even if they do walk around looking like bank robbers etc. Lighten up!
“One Nation”, “1922 Committee”. Fecking hell. How many Tory sub-divisions are there? And do they all sound a bit fascist?
Calling women who were the burka bank robbers and letterboxes is not OK, in any context. I thought this much would be obvious.
Very much this I'd presume.
The 1922 committee is all Tory backbenchers, not just a subdivision. And yes it does.
Not the TM Withdrawal Agreement. But as I understand it, the outcome of the joint TM and Labour discussions which were not presented to parliament.
MPs have rejected an amendment which would have required them to have a debate on 21 October on either the existing deal negotiated by Theresa May or any new deal that is agreed with the EU.
Yes: 65
No: 495

Why wouldn't they. Whatever people think about the EU, they have a vested interest in ensuring that the UK exit is as orderly as is possible
One nation Tories are the centrists like Cameron and Osbourne. I think the idea of the moniker is that they look after the common man as well as the rich cnuts. Boris was one once until he figured he could get into power by jumping on the Eurosceptic bandwagon.
Yes. Evidently you did not as my description of its contents is entirely accurate.
They should just leave and start a Progressive Conservative party. Leave behind the fascist one to BoJo, JRM, IDS and Cummings
What the hell is happening.
Brexit, mate. We’re getting on with it
Did they just add all the amendments with out any opposition because there were no tellers?
If anyone actually believe that the UK is better off by 'getting into bed' with the US and that we will get a favorable trade deal, compared with our current relationship with the EU, then think again.
The US will always ensure that any trade deal will be on their terms and that they get exactly what they want out of it. It will be on a take it or leave it basis.
That's how I understood it too. (am equally amazed at the procedure)
Just the Kinnock one. No idea what the hell is going on now.
Rebels must surely have engineered this?
All the amendments?!?! What the feck does this leave us with?!
Or is this a desperate attempt by the Tories to try and get the final version voted down?

How can an amendment pass by mistake?
Taking back control soo hard it hurts.
Because we still like to pretend we're living in the 17th century.
What's this Kinnock amendment all about?
So even after you've seen the tangible impact that Johnson's comments had in facilitating a rise in bigoted and Islamophobic attacks, you still defend the comments as light-hearted and their significance as overstated. Maybe, you could show some humility and accept that the precious snowflakes who were offended at the time were offended for good reason. You keep trying to place the comments 'in context', but there is no context that makes comments like that by a high-profile politician defensible or justifiable. Imagine the uproar in the press if Corbyn had written an otherwise perfectly reasonable article about Jewish rites but included within it comments that made jokes (and childish and unfunny ones at that) about the appearance of Jewish men when they wear the yarmulke.
The passing of the Kinnock Amendment means that Theresa May's Withdrawal Agreement is back on the table.
Well, well, well...
Well, well, well...

Don't believe they couldn't find a teller, did they not just go through unopposed?

The Brexit Party won't bother turning up after a while - same as UKIP. Not a great concern for the EU parliament.
I have the impression that the UK parliament are finding excuses not to leave (and that includes the Brexiters) and will delay it as long as possible but eventually will be no deal.
"We need to take control back!"

No. I don't either. I smell a rat.
Apparently it was a government whip who failed to turn up.
Once last attempt from boris to engineer a fail on the bill?

The 'moderates' have put May's deal back on the table? What a week.
Not quite. It apparently is the WA but with the changes resulting from the joint TM and Labour discussions.
It seems the wording of the amendment doesn’t really do much of anything.
Boris doesn't understand the bill he's bought the viral nonsense that we have to accept any extension the EU proposes.
It doesn't
It doesn't
Can the Lords strip the Kinnock amendment?
