Westminstenders: Plan B is Plan A again.

The voting starts around 7pm and is expected to finish up between 8pm and 8.20pm.

May is expected to lose. The question is by how much.

We are then expecting an immediate motion of no confidence in the government by Labour to be put forward.

May is expected to make a speech to calm the markets and then go to Brussels for an utterly pointless visit.

The Labour No Confidence is expected tomorrow afternoon after PMQs. Its expected to fail.

We move no closer to a resolution and ever closer to no deal.

Half the Cabinet want to go into cross party talks. Half the Cabinet don't.

May is apparently insistent that Plan B is Plan A. Which is what you would expect her to tell the house to comply with Grieve IV. Which again is bollocks.

But Bercow could yet refuse to indulge it.

If Plan B is Plan A again, then what's Plan C?

Crisis with a Capital C.

The stalemate grows.

Out of the mouth of babes!

I am trying to coax my 13 year old to come and watch with me. He is having none of it.

There is a vote going on. Which won't pass. So ignore it.

Then there's another vote. And that's the big important one.

The aftermath of defeat of WA is where the focus will be in an hour or two. You know, Plan B in three sitting days.

The current situation seems to be a fait accompli. But we never know!

But is there a Plan B?

Once the vote has been lost, we really are in uncharted territory now. I think. Unless May has something up her sleeve.

MissMalice · 15/01/2019 19:20

Do we think the amendment will have more or less support than the main vote?

RedToothBrush · 15/01/2019 19:20

Unless May has something up her sleeve.

Spoiler: she doesn't.

Glad I'm on sky if farage is on bbc, although they have Isabel oakshott.

I'm watching with dh and 16yo ds1. Ds2 (14) has been relegated to the computer in the hall with his Playstation. He ate his dinner out there in protest.

Having finally watched the Dutch MEP on C4 news, what makes me really Confused and Hmm is the fact that the more that the DUP and the more rabid Brexiteers go on about wanting to have an end date on the backstop, the more that they prove why the undated backstop is required Confused

AutumnCrow · 15/01/2019 19:25

Here we go.

Sostenueto · 15/01/2019 19:25

Omg! What a waste of time!

RedToothBrush · 15/01/2019 19:25

This was the Baron Amendment.

The names will be interesting.

It looks that there was some abstaining

Was that the most pointless vote ever in the H of C?

SusanWalker · 15/01/2019 19:26

Was that the amendment that was supposed to show the EU how much parliament wanted an end to the backstop? Because if it was it hasn't worked out very well.

Sostenueto · 15/01/2019 19:27

Good luck all. ( rubbing dogs now blue, paw vigorously)
