Westminstenders: Arse about Face

Everything about Brexit seems to have been done wrongly.

Setting red lines to rule out a compromise

The attempt to use executive power to trigger A50, that resulted in a court case

Triggering A50 before knowing what the UK wanted

Agreeing to the backstop before any Tory MP understood the GFA

Appointing a Brexit minister before checking he understood where Dover was.

May going on about NI and pissing off the DUP before they were just about to climb down.

Having a Meaningless Vote repeatedly with a gun to head.

Contempt of Parliament and just general fucking up.

Tonight, 3 days before we were due to leave the HoC finally sat down to decide what Brexit outcomes they thought would be a good idea - more than 2years after that should have happened.

And we now we are told the meaningful vote might be may even more meaningless by being wrapped up in the illusive Withdrawal Agreement Implimentation Bill.

Farce doesn't even cover it.

Anyway Indicative Vote results incoming in approx 15 mins.

Revoking Article 50 has been shot down.

golondrina · 27/03/2019 21:44

Fuck

golondrina · 27/03/2019 21:44

So, no further forward?

CordeliaEarhart · 27/03/2019 21:44

Pretty close for Clarke tho, I want to see them ranked in most - least support. So they can take the top 4 forward to Monday (ie they've cut it down in half).

SusanWalker · 27/03/2019 21:44

There were some good close ones. I think it would be worth doing the closer ones over, ditching the massively defeated ones.

EweSurname · 27/03/2019 21:44

Everything has been shot down.

ClashCityRocker · 27/03/2019 21:44

Pv got most ayes didn't it?

Mistigri · 27/03/2019 21:44

OK so there is no majority for anything.

I suggest you all emigrate while you still can.

Calamapo · 27/03/2019 21:45

So Beckett's being closeish is good? 268 - 295 I think.

TokyoSushi · 27/03/2019 21:45

So, no to everything then?

borntobequiet · 27/03/2019 21:45

The last time I was this annoyed by music was when I was put on hold while trying to switch utility companies.

wherearemychickens · 27/03/2019 21:45

Bloody hell. No to everything.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 27/03/2019 21:45

For crying out loud.

Horehound · 27/03/2019 21:45

There was only 27 votes in the people vote one. That's close..

Butterymuffin · 27/03/2019 21:45

The Ken Clarke and Margaret Beckett proposals were the closest votes. Not a majority for either but not so far off.

TheElementsSong · 27/03/2019 21:45

FUck. Ing. Hell.

PickleSarnie · 27/03/2019 21:45

Fucsake. What does that mean? The only thing we are closer to now is B-day with no deal surely?! Sad

ClashCityRocker · 27/03/2019 21:45

Ugh I was really hoping for at least a direction.

A triumph of hope over experience I fear.

Horehound · 27/03/2019 21:45

They want no deal they just don't want to admit it/put their names to it.

SeeYouLaterUserData · 27/03/2019 21:46

Oh god this country regarding s in such massive shit
