Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

"On indicative votes, Ms Morgan says she hopes the nation will see that MPs are "trying to move forwards", but adds, "I'm not sure if we're going to get a result tonight, it might have to happen again on Monday."
 
Is this little matter of Brexit not kind of important, what with looming deadlines and all.  What happened to Thursday and Friday?



The MPs don’t have control of the agenda again until Monday

The DUP only represent the unionist community and the majority of them voted Leave.  Not sure if they still support that position right enough.

I'm just waiting for some Brexiteer to say "The people of this island need to take back control and not have the future of this country being decided by people from somewhere else".

Why?  Scotland overwhelmingly voted to remain, I want them to support a new ref or revoke.  No form of brexit benefits Scotland.

Yup.  I'm not quite sure there's any logic in saying that the SNP should support a soft Brexit as a means of opposing a hard Brexit.

It’s a series of yes/no’s and you can vote in favour of as many of them as you like. Pulling the house towards a softer form of Brexit is absolutely the right move for the SNP (as well as voting in favour or referendum and revoke)

None of these are binding. These votes are entirely symbolic - a vote of yes for anything is by definition support for it.

Looks like the ERG are boiling after that 1922 meeting.

 

'The ERG say there was an enormous standing ovation for Steve Baker who spoke at the 1922 Committee meeting this evening.

 

Mr Baker was hugged by Jacob Rees-Mogg and others at the top table.

 

"There is no way enough votes are coming out of that room to put the withdrawal agreement through," a spokesperson for the ERG said.

 

Mr Baker told fellow ERG members that he's "consumed with a ferocious rage after that pantomime".'

Nah, you can't go all this time shouting down all forms of Brexit then crumble when bigboy pants are required, that's called weak government, usually shown by those in blue or red rosettes in recent years.

There's some mechanism to force the Government to act on it, which would probably lead to a GE.

Have I got this right: Brexit is going so badly, that the Prime Minister responsible for delivering it is using *her own resignation* as a bargaining chip to achieve leaving the EU?

You are right - the "deal" which got the biggest ever most humiliating kicking in the house of commons history for any government, ever, and then got brought back to get the 4th biggest kicking, ever, basically deemed not fit for purpose and unacceptable- seemingly has an improved chance of getting through because the one person most closely associated to the thing and who has wed herself so strongly to it that no other approach is even worthy of consideration, says that she will go away and leave the rest of the self centred shower of sh*tes our democratically elected leaders to get on with it - IF they vote for her deal. How strong, how stable.
