The Last Days of Mrs May?

Oh well, if it’s in The Express it must be true!

I think if you broaden your reading matter you might find differing opinions.

I deliberately posted an article from the Express which is even more brexit supporting than the Sun or the Daily Mail, but if you prefer, here's a similar report from the Guardian-

Brexit costing Britain £500m a week and rising, says report
Economy 2.5% smaller than it would have been if UK had voted remain, says thinktank

I heard Mrs M on the TV yesterday and my heart sank. I realised how wonderful it had been over the Xmas and New Year not to hear her voice!

Theresa May suffered yet another Brexit defeat in the House of Commons, with MPs backing a rebel amendment forcing her to reveal her new plans within three days of a defeat in the meaningful vote.

Bercow overruled the clerks and officers of the HofC's in order to allow the one amendment he agreed with, he didn't allows other amendments on the same basis.

The speaker is supposed to be impartial - Bercow is becoming a joke!!!

The vote that TM lost does not affect Brexit, it merely requires a motion to be tabled not even debated.

Bercow looks like a piss head.

Why Lucky? Would you rather hear Corbyn’s spluttery angry voice? At least T May always manages to stay calm.
There are plenty worse voices to hear, including Sturgeon,
Abbott, Boris, etc.
I think most of us were glad to have a break from hearing endless pundits and journos squawking about Brexit though.

Bercow has been a joke for a long time, the sooner he goes the better.

varian, regarding your post @ 19:21 today (9/1/19), I felt John Bercow did an excellent job in standing up to the no more than forty rabid Tory Brexiteirs that have been holding this government to ransom and thereby the whole parliament for the last two years.

It was good to see him take a step to have the whole of parliament now have far more control over the most significant crisis this country has faced since the second world war. In doing that he undoubtedly placed his own position as speaker to the House of Commons in jeopardy, not to mention the physical threats that may well come from the UKIP led thugs outside the house.

Country before party and self-interest was a very welcome scenario to witness.

Bercow was his usual controversial self, it is of course unreasonable for TM or anyone else to come up with a negotiated plan B in 3 days, but there are 2 alternatives that MPs are familiar with they might like to consider
1) no deal exit
2) cancel Brexit

Both of which I am sure they will vote against. To make progress they have to vote FOR something. Maybe a so far gutless Corbyn will propose a second vote which he has a fair chance of winning.

The EU are not going to move on the NI backstop so there is no point going back to them.

A so far gutless Corbyn is to make a big speech today! He sees a General Election coming closer

Why does Corbyn sense an election coming?

Because this useless bunch have made a right cock up of Brexit (and universal credit, and the National Dect, and the NHS, and Education and, and, and).

Or does anyone honestly believe all this chaos is due to Labour??? ??

‘When’ TM loses the vote on her Withdrawal Bill next Tuesday night, the clock is ticking. No deal will kick in on 29 March and the Tory party are then considering a GE on 8 April. We will be out of the EU & the country can decide then (after honouring the result of the referendum which TM is absolutely determined to do) which party will take us forward.

Turkeys do not vote for Christmas, there is no way the Tories will call an election they will stay for the full term.
Once Brexit is resolved one way or the other, TM will probably resign and be replaced by a leader to suit the outcome of Brexit.

Anniebach Quote[ A so far gutless Corbyn is to make a big speech today! He sees a General Election coming closer] End Quote.

Anniebach, as a Labour Party member you should know that the party conference attended by 13000 members laid out the national movement policy on Brexit and that cannot be changed without a recall conference. Jeremy Corbyn has followed that policy to the letter in all he has stated, and that is how it should be.

In the above, there are a number of "red lines" in the Labour national policy that could be adopted within Mays deal that then may bring about a majority in the House of Commons to see the agreement through.

However, the agreement would have to include legal guarantees on, employee rights, Industrial Health & Safety, welfare benefits and much more as those are all part of Labours Brexit policy.

It would be a "large pill" for the Conservative MPs to swallow but could make a way through this parliamentary deadlock I feel.

In the office, so will not be able to add to this until much later this evening.

I am under the impression that all the above are already on the UK statute books.

‘May bring about a majority’. and may not

Aren't they there as EU legislation taken into our law, GG?
In which case they could well be earmarked for removal as part of the bonfire of petty regulations that Leavers were promised.

honouring the result of the referendum

I notice how very silent Leavers are on the illegal practices of the Leave campaigns which bring the whole anti-democratic referendum result into question.

How can something so demonstrably dishonourable be 'honoured'?

That's a question I've been asking myself for a while, Maizie; it seems Leave (or Remain, for that matter) could have done whatever they like and the result would still stand...

We should be grateful to MaizieD for pointing out that the referendum was only advisory in law.

I am not willing to say "I respect the result of the referendum and therefore we must leave the EU no matter how much damage it does to our country, our children and our grandchildren".

I do not respect the result of the advisory referendum which was ill-concieved, fraudulent and won by lies.

I can only hope that our elected representatives will vote to revoke Article 50, reject this brexit nonsense, protect us from further harm and abjectly apologise to our fellow EU members for the huge waste of time and money this fraudulent advisory referendum has caused
