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.

Well my MP must have voted for it, the pussy!

Procedure for calling a GE, from the BBC: "If MPs vote to back a no confidence motion, the government, or anyone else who can command a majority, would get 14 days to win a further confidence vote. If they can't win that, a general election will be then held."

Will all the mp's vote from all parties? Are they likely to back it or not?

Hazardswan · 15/01/2019 20:09

Thanks dangermouse

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 15/01/2019 20:09

So May did bring unity between the remainers and no dealers after all

RedToothBrush · 15/01/2019 20:09

Mann, Field and Hoey were the Labour Eurosceptics who voted for the WA.

NO INCORRECT

Mann voted for it.
Field is now an independent not labour and voted for it.
Hoey voted AGAINST it.

(I'm using the official Parliament app)

Laura Kuenssberg @bbclaurak
ERG sources confirm they will back PM tomorrow, with DUP still on board, so the PM more or less guaranteed to be safe in the confidence motion tomorrow unless something very strange happens in the next 24 hours

DangermousesSidekick · 15/01/2019 20:13

Yup, it'll be a whole HoC vote. I have no idea about who will back it. I'd guess Labour and SNP will vote for no confidence, possibly the DUP. On the DUP hangs the government's majority. I can't see Labour winning one outright though. RTB might have better ideas.

DUP say they will vote with Tories that they have confidence in the government

Jim Pickard @PickardJE
tomorrow will see 128 Tory/DUP rebels claiming with a straight face that they have full confidence in the May government despite just obliterating her single, central policy on the biggest issue of our generation, apologies if this makes no sense

SheldonTheWonderShlong · 15/01/2019 20:14

The phrase 'grave constitutional crisis' springs to mind. Perhaps - unbelievably - it's time for The Queen to step in. I mean, why not?

DangermousesSidekick · 15/01/2019 20:15

Nicely put there, that man. Smile

EU sources are ruling out a special summit or the reopening of the Withdrawal Agreement in the strongest terms this evening.

The fixed-term parliaments act needs to take a lot of blame for this, surely. Once you decouple actual flagship policies from the issue of confidence, things start to get weird

My sentiments exactly sostunueto! Snouts in trough.

@EU_commission
The risk of a disorderly withdrawal of the UK has increased with this evening's vote. While we do not want this to happen, we will continue our contingency work to help ensure EU is fully prepared.

It seems the EU isn’t that optimistic about this vote....

Belindabelle · 15/01/2019 20:21

OMG I am seriously worried. Boris is on the BBC and he has lost a shit ton of weight. What is he up to now.
