Apparently, the government won't allow MPs to read the deal's 'impact statement' before the vote. How the hell are these shysters permitted to get away with this kind of thing, time and again?

And the people don’t care, how are we a country in 2019 with zero sense of responsibility, we need some pragmatism and grown ups to work this out.

All we are getting is people trying to ‘win’.

Sick and tired of the Labour rebels claiming they have secured workers rights and they are backing the vote simply to save their seats. They all need to have the whip withdrawn. Every one can see this for the scam that it is but all these people are concerned about is saving their own skin.

Who is the fool claiming to have secured workers' rights?

It's very poor judgement, and more likely to lose them their seats.

"in Labour seats where there was a Leave majority, 60% of Labour voters voted to Remain in 2016 compared to 76% in Remain seats. In other words while unsurprisingly there were more Labour leave voters in leave seats, on average there was still a substantial Remain majority. Even in those with a Leave vote of greater than 60%, a clear majority (57%) of Labour voters voted Remain in 2016."

No need according to our chancellor because its obvious that it's good to get Brexit done :lol:

If our MPs don't put some amendments down at some point to demand impact assessments prior to second reading then they've failed in the simplest of jobs here.

Today's going to be a very anger inducing day. Good like gents and gals :lol:

I have decided to take my daughter out for the day and not bother following this.

The main difference between May's deal and Johnson’s is that Johnson removed the legal requirement to adhere to EU tax avoidance laws.
What Brexit was all about, all along.

Honestly, is there anything more infuriating than that smirk Patel has??
I was literally about to say the same thing. She is genuinely infuriating. Boris standing in front of her is a welcome sight

I'm sure the usual will say otherwise but thought Corbyn's speech hit the right notes.

Now to the good stuff, backbenches

Literally the only EU regulation he can quote that he wants to be rid of is exporting live cattle, as the ones they really want to be rid of either don't effect the general public (tax evasion) or protect them (workers' rights etc). A healthy press would be exposing this all over their front pages and educating the public.

Basically What BJ got you lot is the official deal for the disintegrtion of the UK. Brexiteers don't mind that the union gets dissolved as evidenced by polls posted here a couple of months ago or so, and that's what you'll be getting imo.

Nah Wales will stay with England, we can't afford to go it on our own.

Who should I follow on Twitter do I keep updated today? Journalists etc.
If you go onto twitter news and click the debate you'll find all the usual and most vocal journalists like Goddal and Bienkov

Due to the Letwin amendment, I doubt there will even be a vote on the deal tomorrow...it will have wrecked the already weak arithmetic. If they did, a 2nd ref could be pegged on to the deal during legislation--that threat will prevent getting enough votes, so makes no sense now for Boris to even go for a vote, suspect it therefore will be withdrawn.
As predicted, if Letwin passes they will pull the vote and send everyone home.

And then we will find out what his hidden card is about the Benn Act.
