Brexit

Westminstenders: Super Saturday

Parliament sits on a Saturday for the first time since the Falklands.

A deal has been reached with the EU. Its utterly shite and worse for the UK than May's deal. It even leaves no deal as an option after transition.

The DUP don't like it. They got predictably shafted.

Tomorrow is a debate and vote on the deal. Amendments are key, in particular the Letwin amendment which seeks to close a loophole in the Benn Act and stop the Deal being adopted tomorrow, instead forcing the ultimate decision over the deal to a later date and forcing an extension.

Which the EU may or may not agree to.

There is also talk of forcing another ref via amendments but this, unlike the Letwin amendment is unlikely to pass.

The vote tomorrow looks to be very tight. The Letwin amendment passes looks likely to make Johnson fail to have the numbers. However there is talk that enough Labour MPs have decided to back the deal.

There is also a big anti Brexit march in London tomorrow (which runs the risk of having problems with the Extinction Rebellion ban). Good luck to everyone going tomorrow.

See you on the other side (which might now be on this thread!!)

That’s a bigger majority than I had hoped for!

dreichsky · 19/10/2019 14:51

Nobody trusts him.

BercowsFlyingFlamingo · 19/10/2019 14:51

Phew!

Horehound · 19/10/2019 14:51

Red...are you a politician? You always have the info just that little but before everyone else!

PotterHead1985 · 19/10/2019 14:52

So you have confirmed yourself a liar so bozo

Horehound · 19/10/2019 14:52

How does the law not compel him to negotiate a delay?!

ragged · 19/10/2019 14:52

BJ & Cummings are cooking up some kind of constitutional bomb ...

prettybird · 19/10/2019 14:53

So now he legally has to send that letter.

Let's see if he complies with the law. He says he's not going to. Wonder what the Scottish Courts will say on Monday. Hmm

LouiseCollins28 · 19/10/2019 14:53

Here’s Boris!

RedToothBrush · 19/10/2019 14:53

You can tell who has won by where the tellers stand (and which bench cheers) before they give the result 😉

I voted remain. I would still vote remain. However this prolonged arguing is going to massively negatively effect the bubbling situation in NI among paramilitaries. I truly don't know how to feel right now. Economically we are suffering in this limbo. I'm so very worried about where we are heading in NI. More time= more stirring of emotions =more fundraising for paramilitaries =ultimately more deaths. IMO

DuckWillow · 19/10/2019 14:54

Wow! Don’t know what to make of it all now.

RedToothBrush · 19/10/2019 14:54

Alex Wickham@alexwickham
Boris Johnson says the law does not require him to 'negotiate' a delay and he will tell the EU that further delay will be bad for the UK and the EU

@Horehound I keep looking at females in the house wearing red and thinking that!

BercowsFlyingFlamingo · 19/10/2019 14:55

How the fuckety fuck does he still think we are leaving on the 31st??

prettybird · 19/10/2019 14:55

That's 9 from 9 of important votes that he's lost.

Funny how BJ only agrees with Parliament democracy and sovereignty when it agrees with him Hmm
