Yes, you are quite correct in not giving a flying f**k of what I think, on a Scottish football sounding board.
Unfortunately, your decision had real consequences in 2016.
I accept that you’ve now realised the error, but please don’t come across as, the now, authority on how MPs should vote.
You fucked up.

It wasn't for pesky GrannyDanger Leave would only have won by 1269499 votes :lol:

8 amendments to go to indicative votes:

No Deal (B) – John Baron (Conservative) - Agrees to leave the EU on 12 April without a deal.

Common market 2.0 (D) – Nick Boles (Conservative) - Government joins the European Economic Area (EEA) through the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), and negotiates a temporary customs union until alternative arrangements can be found.

EFTA and EEA (H) – George Eustice (Conservative)  - Remains in the European Economic Area (EEA), and applies to re-join the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).  Declines to form a customs union but seeks “agreement on new protocols relating to the Northern Ireland border and agri-food trade”.

Customs union (J) – Ken Clarke (Conservative) - Enshrine the objective to form a customs union in primary legislation.

Labour’s alternative plan (K) – Jeremy Corbyn - Negotiate changes to the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration to secure Labour’s position, and pass these objectives into law.

Revocation to avoid no deal (L) – Joanna Cherry (SNP) - If the Withdrawal (Agreement) Bill has not been passed before exit day, the government will ask MPs to approve no deal. If this does not pass, the government will revoke Article 50.

Confirmatory public vote (M) – Margaret Beckett (Labour) - Government cannot implement or ratify the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration unless and until they have been approved in a referendum.

Contingent preferential arrangements (O) – Marcus Fysh (Conservative) - Malthouse Plan B: The UK makes its budgetary contributions to the EU to the end of 2020 and agrees with the EU a period of two years in which UK goods have full access to the EU.

 

And you can bet on the likelihood of each passing. Odds from Paddy Power:

Motion B: 11/1

Motion D: 13/8

Motion H: 4/1

Motion J: 4/1

Motion K: 6/1

Motion L: 9/1

Motion M: 3/1

No odds quoted for motion O

The logic behind this is as stupid as voting leave.

Interesting that the bookies have Common Market 2.0 as the favourite...only 'reasonable' way left open to Leave, with a longer extension. As said, downside is it would kill Indy Ref 2...time will tell...

Wonder how much of the Tories principled opposition will collapse now there is a job opening...


The brazen careerism is a genuine scandal. Throwing the country down the Swanee for the sake of four more years.

He wants to stay on the gravy train.

Even if true, what he said and the manner with which he espoused it was top notch in my book.

Don't crack open the champagne just yet.

No champagne here - it probably increases the chances of her deal going through, and a hardcore brexiteer in charge.

Tory PMs getting booted should be something to celebrate. That's the second time in a row there's one on the way out the door and other events totally take the shine off it.
