Westminstenders: Plan B is Plan A again.

[RedToothBrush]

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.

"No deal is better than this bad deal". Reciting that mantra as May did was so very foolish and irresponsible.

Not just that - she's been forced to admit to the cabinet that it's untrue. No deal pretty much sets the clock ticking on all sorts of tensions on the "U" bit of the UK. Ultimately Irish reunification and an unstoppable Scottish independence. By which time, Wales might have got the message that lifes worse in the Union.

To lose one member of the UK could be an accident ... to lose two .....

Thunderbird 3 or 4 ?

Some light relief, can anyone spot the mistake ?

2016 not 2006 ! Although it feels that long

Well that was quick .

DW decided to have some "beautifying" done, so I'm killing time here until I have to cook dinner. For some reason we need to open a new bottle of

The day of the referendum result, DW just said "it will never happen". Wish she'd put s few quid on now ....

Bad year to do Dry January.

Going to start ushering the DC's upstairs soon, I have steak! And wine!

PMK. Hold my hand someone.

I'm on the tea.

Thunderbird 1: a hypersonic rocket plane used for fast response and accident zone reconnaissance. Piloted by primary rescue co-ordinator Scott Tracy.
Thunderbird 2: a supersonic carrier aircraft that transports rescue vehicles and equipment to accident zones in detachable capsules known as "pods". Piloted by Virgil.
Thunderbird 3: a single-stage-to-orbit spacecraft. Piloted alternately by Alan and John, with Scott as co-pilot.
Thunderbird 4: a utility submersible. Piloted by Gordon and normally launched from Thunderbird 2.
Thunderbird 5: a space station that relays distress calls from around the world. Manned alternately by "space monitors" John and Alan

T1 rocket - ????
T2 rescue - Bercow - heavy lifting
T3 space craft - Boris - all smoke and fire
T4 Submersible - May
T5 space station - Lothsome - left out there

I think we all need to hold hands tonight!

It was terrifying how many no dealers there are in the public at large. One relatively articulate man interviewed regurgitated the " No deal is better than this bad deal" I'm with him. We want no deal because we think it's the first step on the path to a Canada style deal. We just want to be a self-governing country like Canada. That's all. And I know Canada spent years getting a deal. I do understand how things work.

I have baked beans on toast for dinner. When I can be arsed to get up and make it. With beer. More beer.

I need to get used to the Brexit lifestyle.

BTW did you know that today is National Pot Hole Day? Well now you do.

Labrokes current forecast for the number of MPs backing May's deal is 218.

Corbyn says it’s not enough to vote against May’s deal and no deal, “we must be FOR something”.

“Ahhhh” says the Tories, “we’re all ears” shouts one #Brexit

Don't want to intrude on a Remain thread. Just wanted to explain a different POV.

Yes to hand holding!

If it gets real bad someone needs to stroke my hair and talk in soothing tones to me.

Perhaps TM is the same and that's why Mr May is in building...

Laura K saying that the whips have switched focus and they're trying to get Brexiteers to abstain rather than vote against, let's see...

The first step to a Canada style deal is to sign the WA. The EU will not do a Canada deal without insurances on the Irish border. Even if we no deal and go to them for a Canada deal the first thing they will bring up is the border.

If any MPs do abstain from the vote-will that be searchable/public knowledge and their constituents able to see that?

Don't know which is worse. Watching Corbyn tying his shoelaces in front of an open goal - again - or sitting through another rendition of the Maybot programme. Just get on with the fucking vote already.

Made it! Thanks Red.

We just want to be a self-governing country like Canada. That's all. And I know Canada spent years getting a deal. I do understand how things work.
Canada was royally screwed over by the USA cos its bigger and more powerful
be careful what you wish for

Yes they will @HolidayShopping

We can get to Canada via the WA.

Just with food and medicine along the way.

Surely they can’t abstain in such an important vote.
