Thread: Brexit - It's Still On!

@bbclaurak

Public numbers so far - 153 MP s have said they all back May - 33 day they will vote against

My predictions:
May will win the no confidence vote.
The EU will clarify a few points.
May will return and explain those clarifications.
Parliament will approve the deal.
The UK will leave the EU.

'The conversations in the corridors of power go on'

Nick Eardley

BBC politics correspondent

Around every corner in Parliament today there are Conservatives deep in conversation.

Theresa May’s aides talking tactics with ministers; Brexiteers analysing their chances.

On the face of it, the PM looks in a good place. The vast majority of those MPs who have declared their intentions are backing her.

But... there’s always a but. Mrs May’s opponents are adamant this doesn’t tell the whole story.

Firstly, they say, government ministers and aides will always pledge support so the fact 150 plus have done so isn’t a surprise.

Secondly, they point out the vote is confidential and are adamant some who have pledged support will vote against the PM later away from prying eyes.

Others think the margin could be close and ponder what authority Mrs May will have if 100 or more of her colleagues vote against her. The indications are Mrs May wold stay on, but would she be able to lead her party efficiently?

The PM argued in Downing Street this morning that getting rid of her will help Labour and could mean no Brexit.

But her opponents in the Conservative Party are arguing the opposite today - that the DUP are unlikely to come back on board until Mrs May goes and that is the main risk of a general election.

The truth is, we won’t know for sure until the result is announced tonight. And so the conversations in the corridors of power go on.

It's the beginning of the end for May.

She tried to pull the wool over parliament's eyes, and will lose the vote as much for that as anything else.

The chances of the UK leaving the EU next March are slim, while the chance of a second referendum is growing.

Jeremy Corbyn again asks if the prime minister will rule out a Brexit without a deal, which he says she has "failed to do".

"This sorry saga is frustrating for businesses," he says, and asks when the prime minister is going to start listening to people "who want to find a constructive solution".

Theresa May says "we all know people who don't want to find a constructive solution, and that's members of the Labour front bench - they have no plan, no clue and no Brexit."

Pound holding on above $1.25

The pound is clinging on to levels above $1.25.

The pound is also up 0.3% against the euro - trading around 1.1067 euros.

Or one euro is around 90p.

These Tory Eurobot are purposefully crashing the pound to get symmetry with the Euro. Once stable, the Uk gets the Euro. Then Italy crashed and we're all fucked

She won't lose the vote.

But it could and probably will weaken her.

Corbyn asks for PM to rule out 'no deal' Brexit

House of Commons

Parliament

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says that if there's a Brexit agreement, why won't it be put to a vote. All businesses see is chaos at the heart of government, he says. He asks for some certainty and for 'no deal' to be ruled out.

Theresa May says the way to ensure there is 'no deal' is to agree a deal. She says businesses will be affected by Labour policies.

Maybot is fighting back, have to give it to her

all those old men seems quite irrelevant, they probably all wear wet diapers at this stage, like some TD residents here

Labour MP calls for 'People's Vote'

House of Commons

Parliament

Labour MP Ellie Reeves says she vowed not to vote for the Brexit deal, and by pulling the vote the prime minister must concede that the "deal is doomed".

MPs and the Conservative Party have lost confidence in the prime minister, she says, it's time for the PM to "have confidence in the people" and give them what she calls a "People's Vote" (a new referendum) on the deal.

Prime minister says the vote on the agreement has been deferred. MPs put their faith in the British people in the 2016 referendum, she says, and it's their job to deliver the result.

PMQ live here

The UK is legally obliged to leave next March, that A50 thingy was notice to quit.

An extension can be bought, much like a visa extension but a bit more expensive.

what a frigging circus, now they all left

Or, a hard-brexit, good result.
May's brexit, terrible result.
Election and Torries back in with May, utterly pointless.
Election and Borris winning, disaster.
Election and Corbyn winning, total disaster leading to the last Labour government in our generation.
Any type of second referendum, total disaster of lies, Soros money, unpleasantness and more, whoever wins.
Not leaving, putting up the white flag and bending over for the Belgian pervs to butt-fuk us to infinity while Mr Sausage watches on shouting encouragement...

Soros money ? oh please, not you too

^ there's been a lot of dirty/Globalist/Sorosesque money pushing propaganda in the UK - the BBC propaganda machine loves Soros.

I like to think that the Yellow Vests are somehow supported/encouraged by The City of London money... I've been watching a lot of the major London bankers being interviewed recently, and they seem very confident. What happened to Macron wooing all of the banks out of London and into Paris???

I'm waiting for a thinly veiled comment about some anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. What a bunch of quitling crap.
If you can't make a success out of being able to live,work,study and retire in 27 countries then you are f.ucking idiot, stop playing the wee Little Englander victim card. Bloody gammonification of England is a real problem.

and you claim not to be a right wing loon like our Nigel supporting gay resident buriramboy?

It's just hilarious that Macron, France, the EU globalist/banker elitist, are in an even worse state than the UK, and they haven't even officially started Frexit yet...

Interesting to see the EU 'army' dealing with the riots in Paris:

Still couldn't really care less about this whole Brexit mess, but this is pretty fucking funny...

BREXIT CLEARS THE WAY FOR EU NAVY
https://www.warshipsifr.com/features...s-way-eu-navy/

Chief Analyst Usman Ansari explores whether Brexit could permit greater European military integration and formation of a so-called EU Navy. He finds that NATO is actually encouraging Europe to set up formal naval task groups and Germany is a major driver in merging maritime and land forces.

Could be a pipe dream too...
