Brexit

Westminstenders: A vote too far?

The ECJ have ruled that the UK can unilaterally revoke A50.

There maybe lots of other news today, but that's the big one.

May has her big vote tomorrow. Or does she.

Will she survive until the end of the week?

Independent reporting definitely pulled apple.news/AUqwwqps1SamRjhgmp6Z37Q

Why we should bail the Tories out I don't know though.

I wonder if private polling is scaring someone, somewhere ?

Just for the robots:

I'd happily accept Brexit as the price of destroying the Tories.

If the choice is Brexit, but no Tories; I'm in.

I voted Remain. But I'd vote leave if it finished off the Tories.

If we get Brexit, do we need the Tories ?

(I wonder if we could Googlebomb that ?)

What are the chances of Corbyn whipping his party to abstain?

jm90914 · 10/12/2018 12:39

Shall I tune out for the rest of the day?

Or wait for the barrage of meaningless drivel that is likely to spew forth at 3:30?

OlennasWimple · 10/12/2018 12:40

I didn't realise we were on another thread already (thanks Red!), but this is what I just posted on the last one:

It's being reported that TM is currently on a conference call with the Cabinet to discuss the WA and the way forward.

I hate conference calls at the best of times, but can you even imagine how hellish that particular call must be? Too many people; someone will forget to mute their phone when they aren't speaking so everyone hears their household noise; three people will talk over each other; at least four of them will be messaging each other privately to discuss what is being said; and some people will never get to talk at all.

Urgh

I almost feel sorry for them...

Meanwhile, I've just heard the PM is making a statement to Parliament at 3.30pm today

Interesting commentary on what might happen next from Robert Peston on Facebook:

He seems to think MPs could somehow refuse to allow the vote to be abandoned.

OlennasWimple · 10/12/2018 12:42

Dominic Grieve just told Jeremy Vine that Parliament wouldn't let the UK crash out on March 29th - but was somewhat hazy on exactly how it would be able to do so

What a time, when Sin Fein (who of course don't vote in Parliament) support the WA but many of the governing party don't support the proposition put forward by their own leader

DGR

At the time of TM's snap GE I said I'd accept Remain if it got JC to No. 10, because the changes to the UK would completely change the dynamic with the EU. I stand by this.

Looking like a lose / lose for TM and co.

colouringinpro · 10/12/2018 12:47

I cannot believe she's pulled the vote.

But I can too ConfusedConfused

Please please please can we Remain. This total shitshow is Seriously doing my head in Sad

Preston wondering if MPs can vote down her proposal to delay The Vote. FFS

1tisILeClerc · 10/12/2018 12:49

So the soap opera that is brexit is in full flow see sawing the funds of investors upwards as the markets react to the 'news'.
I would hazard a guess at a couple more rounds of this followed by a massive capitulation by the ERG mob who, having ratcheted up their profits will 'gracefully' concede defeat at the last minute while carrying their cash away.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/12/2018 12:51

FFS.

I agree with Nicola Xmas Shock

and a statement on Article 50 too. Interesting timing, no, just after the court ruling?

1tisILeClerc · 10/12/2018 12:56

Tsk Tsk Mrsr8 you don't need to mince your words!

howabout · 10/12/2018 13:01

The ERG via Steve Baker not impressed with pulling of vote and have just reiterated their demands for a full renegotiation (basically Canada +).

Peston hinting strongly he thinks TM resignation in play.

MissMalice · 10/12/2018 13:03

Why is anybody still banging on about renegotiating? The EU has said no.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/12/2018 13:04

I'm guessing the eu might have changed their minds?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 10/12/2018 13:04

I think she is resigning if Leadsom is speaking afterwards.

DarlingNikita · 10/12/2018 13:08

I think she is resigning if Leadsom is speaking afterwards.

Good point.

{Why is anybody still banging on about renegotiating? The EU has said no.}
And for the hard of understanding it will be in 27 languages, just in case someone is having difficulty.
