I think we pretty much do know, the Tories still wouldn't have backed it so there still wouldn't have been a true majority for it (ie one that could pass a meaningful vote). The indicative votes were, in hindsight, a kind of nice summer holiday away from grim reality.

"You see that Bernie. That's what you voted for, that is" (old MWExp joke)
Feck that's grim.
To be fair, isn't there a good chance immigration will fall drastically once your economy completely tanks? Maybe that's their master-plan...

Country is fecked, just trying to find an escape route now.
These twats will be more emboldened now.
What a sad upbringing these people must have had to develop views like those.
I like how he tells her that she must live under his customs yet he can't even fecking type using autocorrect in English properly.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure that it's the facebook equivalent to a youtube comment. A 14 years old entertaining himself by being offensive.
It's far more likely that he is >50 than <18. And if the past last few years has shown us anything, it's that it's generally not as benign as someone just being offensive to be edgy.
You know what I don't think that that person is old, thinking about it I had a 4chan vibe and after having a look, this person is on Gab, is a flat earther and is pretty much on the wrong side of every opinion. It's a either a troll or one of those demented young "alt right" lads, I think that we have all met them at some point.
Dunno mate, people seem emboldened now. I had someone call me a Paki on Saturday night, in London City.
I've lived in Basingstoke and Devon and have experienced it there, but not here in London for years. And this guy was a manager out with his staff for a Xmas do, and was at least 40.
I know but that's not why I had my doubts. It's the list of grievances, this isn't a list from someone "normal". But I was wrong anyway because it was the other option that I didn't mention which is your far-right 4chan, Gab and other "alternative" platforms member.

It’s absolutely fine if the UK ends up like Greece as long as we LEAVE
We get what we deserve. A tory government shitting on the working/middle class.we got it done, and we got on with it
I'm pretty sure lemmings say that before they dive off a cliff as well.
Handing the UK over to the Tories for five years because we need to Get Brexit Done is like playing Russian Roulette with a six shot revolver loaded with seven bullets, and instead of saying "hang on a second, maybe this will actually kill me" we just say "feck it, can't turn back now just hurry up and get on with it"
And then, this is the best bit; Boris sends your kids the bill for the bullet you've shot yourself with.

More like doing keyhole surgery with a machete.
Yes it will get the job done, but it'll probably be worse than it was before.
You are more optomistic than I am.
The only upside personally is that it has put the final nail in the coffin of the idea of returning to the UK to retire. Probably wasn't ever going to happen but I don't really recognise the place any more. Which is really sad.
You get what you pay for.

This is starting to get very Orwellian. Parliament completely blocked out of decisions on brexit and now they're basically saying it'll all be secret too.
This hypocritical cnut is as much to blame for not backing indicative votes together with some of the cnuts who lost their seats in midlands and north west. Some proposals failed by a handful.
But the thing is, they're not wrong. Leavers actually don't want to know any of the details, they just want it done, hence all the "leave means leave" bullshit.
True, we're run by a populist leader. Remainers aren't the disenfranchised so they don't count in the governments considerations.
The Brexit Bill's been passed with a big majority, 358 to 234.
Yay. Now Brexit can Get Done and we can start preparing for the food rationing. It's a good thing that we won't have any rights or food standards because it'll make it easier to explain to the kids why there's sawdust in their soup.
Feck it at this point.
Not much that can be done, bring on Mad Max Britain and the fighting pits.
At least we won't have to hear about it every five seconds in the news, hopefully. Sick to the back teeth of hearing the word Brexit.

what's the Tories end goal here? what does it want to turn the UK into post Brexit? all i see is Brexit losing the UK money (house prices tumbling, big business leaving), so i don't get how that fits the bill for a Conservative party generally.
It’s pretty telling that they’re not even bothering to hide their names anymore.
Difficult to motivate myself to post here since the election. Everything that's happening now was entirely predictable given the result.
As for businesses, it all depends on a number of variables not yet fixed. Like what deal will be struck with the EU. Or what kind of regulatory framework the UK will be under in the next few years. What will happen to corporation tax. Etc. Etc. If BoJo signs a deal with the EU, delivers the deregulation certain sectors crave for, simplifies the visa system to ease workforce constraints placed by Brexit and cuts corproration tax.. then business could well flourish.
None of these are for sure though are they? I mean house prices have been dipping recently, due to people not buying because of the uncertainty. But with demand outstripping supply and the housing shortage only increasing, the prices will surely follow sooner rather than later unless an issue of mortgage availability arises. And Tories controlling immigration doesn't mean they'll reduce it, given how thirsty business is for workers at the moment with the unemployment figures in their lowest since 1975. They've dropped the targets of lowering immigration from their manifesto under BoJo. Their issue now is "controlling it" with points based visa system etc.

What a fecking shambles. May as well make a few trips to the UK in 2020 before it turns into a nuclear wasteland.
I think the middle to higher-end of the housing market will stall, not cheap property as first-time buyer properties will always sell. Job security will be a concern for a lot of people, and unless you have to sell because of one of the three Ds (death, divorce or debt), families will surely be more likely to wait and see.
So realistically how long do I have to buy my house in Italy as an EU citizen and enjoy free movement?
I guess if you live in London the best case is that little changes in reality, maybe prices go up 10%, looking at it selfishly.
Potentially a bit of a shitter that I plan to become self-employed in Jan/Feb. Timing stinks.
