Westminstenders: Happy Brexit Day!

[RedToothBrush]

Happy Brexit day!

Oh wait. No its not.

May looks like she is going to bring the MVIII (Meaningful Vote 3) tomorrow minus the PD (political declaration).

The legalities of this are questionable should the vote pass. The MV needs to have an accompanying PD, by law under the terms of the Withdrawal Act.

That's kind of irrelevant given the likelihood of the deal passing anyway. The DUP have apparently negotiated a 'Stormont Lock' to get more assurances, only for them promptly to say there's no chance of them voting for the deal anyway.

The vote is all about Labour v Conservatives and where we can lay the blame for no deal in two weeks time.

Meanwhile we are already into a prolonged Tory Leader Election with all its glorious gentlemanly behaviour.

Anyway its time for extra time and national riots for delaying Brexit.

Who's tallying the numbers? This is going to be close, isn't it?

bercow you callus have two cats and call them Order and Division.

Then have great fun calling them in at night.

Could have. Not callus

God I hope enough labour and the DUP stand firm that this doesn't get through. I hope there are some remainer tory rebels that hold the line now the ERG are crashing. They must realise that if the ERG want it then it is bad. I can't bear this waiting but I don't want to know the answer.

Phew finally caught up with half an hour to go.

I am so tired of hearing about trust in democracy. Whatever they do now the idea of democracy is in tatters.

Keir looks bloody worried behind JC. 😟

If May sums up for the Government's motion, that should guarantee add a few more votes against the motion

Loving the cat names

What are the chances of anything being sorted by the 12th if the vote fails today? Zero? Slightly more?

Even if the ERG cave I'm not sure they can still get it over the line.

Keir always looks a bit tense. Don't think I've ever seen him smile tbh.

like Turkey

You mean we'll wake up tomorrow surrounded by some of the finest Graeco-Roman landscapes of the ancient world, beautiful examples of early Christian and Islamic architecture, medieval monuments and literature, a fascinating po!itical history, and holding a key strategic location in the middle east?

Goodness.

Oh - Sir Bufton Tufton meant 'shithole', didn't he?

So another shot from BBC of all those UKIP flags what a sick joke.

Hearing Tory MP Andrew Percy has pulled out of being the best man at his friend's wedding at the last minute to be in the Commons for today's vote

Being an MP and promising you'll be best man on 29th March was always optimistic and frankly unrealistic.

#andrewpercy just told the BBC #theresamay has sent the couple a message & he told the groom he'll be best man at his next wedding. I wonder which of those went down better #NoBrexitDay #BrexitDay #BrexitVote

I do hope this was a joke.

I think the million dollar question for the day is:

'Will Jared O'Mara be arsed to turn up on a Friday?'

Keir looks like he's about to cry.

#andrewpercy just told the BBC #theresamay has sent the couple a message & he told the groom he'll be best man at his next wedding.

I bet the bride and groom are still chortling at that one..

What an arse.

Corbyn is no orator.

Keir needs a bloody medal for sticking with this.

Is it weird that I am distracted by Keir's excellent hair?

I am too stressed to concentrate.

For those needing light relief this afternoon, I recommend the (funny) Chat thread "I am Theresa May's doppelganger"

Thanks for the Peter Bone clip @SisterMichael

So another shot from BBC of all those UKIP flags what a sick joke.

Well they can’t do an aerial film like they did last week - it would look silly!

Fishing boat LATEST

Spokesman: "Due to traffic delays and Metropolitan police rerouting the fishing boat on the lorry is currently crossing Tower Bridge."

The boat accompanied by a police escort should be in Parliament Square by 3pm.

Not long to hake.

Brexiteers couldn't deliver a boat to parliament square on schedule....

Keir really does have excellent hair. Can't believe he's nearly 60.

I'm stress cleaning.
