Westminstenders: For Whom the Bell Tolls

Although another round of Indicative Votes is scheduled, arguably the chance for a soft Brexit has gone for two reasons.

Parliament was unable to show a majority because those on the opposition benches were too busy saying 'I want this but only on these terms' or still being too unwilling to compromise. Thus the opportunity and point for a third round starts to look weak.

The second is that Tory MPs were resolute in an opposition to a soft Brexit.

Unless May decides to be the next Robert Peel and go for a soft Brexit on the back of opposition vote its not going to happen.

This leaves May's deal as it stands or no deal.

May seems to have actually lost a few supporters of her deal since Friday, and given the performance of the opposition tonight and the prospect of round 3 of indicative votes they will still be unwilling to go for May's deal.

Which leaves no deal.

There is talk of a managed no deal. There is no such thing. The EU plan for that is essentially to push us into the deal in order to get a trading relationship.

And that will push us closer to the us. Which is what many torys want. And what polling seems to suggest they will have surprising support for.

Sorry folks but it don't look great tonight.

The opposition benches may look back on tonight and think they screwed it. I hope I'm wrong. But I fear tonight might have sealed our fate.

Tomorrow may has a 5hr cabinet. And a secret document dmfor the cabinet to study first.

It's going to get bumpy from here on in...

It will go to the house to decide? Didn't they try that last week?

@Violetparis Keir Starmer is the only one with any sense. I vote Starmer for PM

'Why does it only matter when leavers are angry?!'

I agree with this, and actually no one is happy with the WA so why not please at least half the population with a 2nd ref instead of pissing everybody off.

Oh I didn't mean it only matters when leavers are angry just that May isn't coming across like she's thinking of anyone and pleasing no one.

I think the repeated short extensions might be more harmful than being brave and calling a PV. Because people can vote leave again but to keep getting hopes up for unicorns to squash em is daft.

And I am in a very Lets be friends mood today...except to no dealers but I will just shout drug names to them. 😂

Just come in after being out since 5pm, WTF is going on now?!

Hopefully the 10pm news will enlighten me, and then I'll go back through this thread for a real insight!
