Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

Also, at this stage, revoking A50 and remaining in the EU on current terms may seem like the most sensible thing to do and it probably is. It’s surely very short-sighted though?

Britain will always be a very Eurosceptic and awkward member of the EU and using a veto here and there, whilst the EU will continue to pursue further integration in the future. Many in Britain will simply never go along with that, so all it does it kick the can down the road.

So maybe there will be some sort of tiered EU system, leaving more Eurosceptic nations involved but not as closely? Then we are rerunning arguments now about rule making and taking. People will wonder why stay in if you’re being forced to follow rules you don’t make?

Even if we do end up remaining, we will come back to all of these issues in the not so distant future.

That was all on offer or possible if we'd stayed in and negotiated. Cameron got a great deal on extra migration controls and made zero effort to selling it, thinking his proven Project Fear was all he had to do. Nobody tried to sell a reforming Europe as the way to go.

Farage speaking to Andrew Neil earlier and his comments picked up on Twitter.
“Extraordinary comments by Nigel Farage getting lost amid the noise: he is lobbying EU governments (possibly Italy) to *veto* any British govt request to extend A50 so as to force a No Deal Brexit on March 29.

That's Farage lobbying foreign govts to oppose Britain's parliament”

There was a Tory MP with Polish heritage doing something similar with the Polish Government a couple of weeks back.

Would it matter if the DUP rejected it? Will there be enough red Tories to see it through?

They'd need to get a few DUP votes, they're said to be a bit conflicted at the mo.

If no other MPs change their position every single Tory who opposed it yesterday would need to vote for it.

Which is unlikely as Dominic Grieve and Justine Greening voted against it and are arch Remainers.

Grieve will have a nervous breakdown over this.

When push comes to shove there's no way any Ulster Unionist could support the back stop because it would lead inexorably to UI. Think the bigger issue is the pro-Brexit fringe that Labour has and all the independents.

3 Labour members and 4 independents voted for it, bit surprised it was that few. She's fucked.

Bit dubious source but it looks like May will have a 3rd go at her shitty deal.

They are even saying that if that fails she'll try for MV4.

 

 

It's just utter contemptuous behaviour and sums up what an antiquated piece of shit Westminster is.

 

As has been said before the UK constitution is not worth the paper it is not written on.

Gove threatened them with direct rule today after a hard brexit, which is more likely to lead to a border poll than a back stop.

Apparently Bercow can stop it being voted on a third time if there is no significant change to the bill under the rules and standing orders of the house.

As has been the case yesterday and today, the amendments that can be inflicted onto tomorrow's motion will be key on where we go from here. Hopefully the motion can be amended in some way that forces the seeking of an extension into one that's for the purposes of a referendum.
