MEADOWXI Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 May has to be at the point of being the most incompetent waste of fucking space clown to have ever lived at No;10. Having The Speaker basically state you aren't even close to following the rules is unbelievable. The desperation of having to consider dissolving Parliament to create a new session to force another chance to vote with such a short time to the deadline is embarrassing beyond belief. Better off dissolving them all in acid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The UK is the absolute laughing stock of the World. Countries will be lining up to do trade deals just for the sake of ripping the pish right out of us. Surely it's time for Scotland to leave this total dysfunctional shambles of a Union? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May probably planned this with Bercow as she doesn't want brexit and we could now be looking at a two year extension A50 should now be revoked with the promise of another referendum in at least 5 years time. England might win that as Scotland will be a separate entity by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Quote Nicola Sturgeon has written an open letter to Theresa May to complain about suggestions she will allow the Democratic Unionist party a seat in any Brexit trade talks, after refusing for months to give Scotland a direct role. The first minister said giving the DUP a role in trade talks would breach the prime minister’s promises there would no different treatment and powers for different parts of the UK after Brexit. May made that offer in part to assuage DUP fears the Northern Ireland backstop would see Northern Ireland having different treatment than the rest of the UK. But Sturgeon said May was breaching her own pledges: if the DUP were allowed influence policies in its favour at the cost of other parts of the UK, that clearly breached that protocol, Sturgeon said. It would be a “serious curtailment” of the Scottish parliament’s powers over EU policy areas such as farming and fishing if the Scottish government had no power to influence post-Brexit trade policy but Northern Ireland did have that power, through a sweetheart deal with the DUP. The first minister said: By according the DUP disproportionate influence, it seems clear that maintaining your majority in the UK parliament comes before respect for the properly constituted governments across the UK. [There] must be no question of one political party - the DUP - being represented in talks on the future trade relationship between the UK and EU when other political parties and devolved governments are not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Quite a move from Bercow. Brexit is right up in the air now. No certainty of extension by EU either. Which would legally mean no deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jedi Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Might be procedural ways round this, but it is an absolute game changer from Bercow. Presumably the word is that her deal has no chance of passing, therefore no point in holding another vote. 10 days to go though, the ball is now firmly in the EU's court on Thursday surely. They will probably have to grant an extension now, as otherwise, no deal it is next week. Looks like a long extension as well (2 years?), otherwise there is nothing else which can be done in such a short space of time. There is no space for further negotiations with the EU, no space to change the wording of any motion 'substantially' to allow another vote on her deal now. If they don't grant the longer extension we are basically stuffed. Doesn't matter if they run around in the next couple of days and somehow start a 'new' session of parliament...without the extension-we are crashing out. Scenes....
