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.

Checking in for the vote

Do you think they could pass the WA with TM making all sorts of commitments about Parliament's involvement and then she calls a GE, steps down and BoJo or whoever takes over and says he's not bound by a previous Govt?

I will join in with the popcorn and probably the hysteria too

I can’t take this. I’m popping out to run an errand.

I get IBS and my stomach is shocking today.

This is May's last ditch attempt. You can feel it.

Her tone and manner are different today. There is a reek of desparation and exhaustion.

Ugh her snide remarks to the SNP

@peston
.@theresa_may tries to reassure Labour MPs she is not asking them to approve blind Brexit. She repeats she supports Snell and Nandy plan to give parliament power to shape future relationship with EU. But she cannot bind her successor - @BorisJohnson? @DominicRaab? - on this

I was thinking she sounded a bit demob-happy actually, Red

This is fucking unendurable

Yep.

DIVISION!

Think I'm grateful for having to do the school run in a bit and not being able to watch this shit show for once

Here we go

I’m calling it - the noes were definitely louder.

If she wins this it will be by a couple of votes. see the leavers are congregating and the remain supporters have had to go
I can't watch it I really can't I'm so so stressed.

I feel sick. I'm so nervous.

I hope most follow their conscience and vote against it rather than just do what the whips tell them

This is tense!

How dare she rail against Scotland like that though?!

Got the live link up now
Gulp

Clear the lobby!

Ah...I cross posted with Peston with the exact same thought

Shit it's started...

Got to do school run at 3 eeep

Hooray Mark and Sr Ruth are back !
