What new facts?
At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a petition saying "we were radicalized by [Johnson/Cameron/insert name here] and demand a second chance". Actions have consequences in my book, some foreseen, others not.

Er, £39billion severance payment, only 6 of the "easiest" trade deals completed, threat to the availability of radio therapy treatments. I could go but I get bored with stating the obvious.

Here we go again and the motion to extend article 50 in order to hold a Referendum failed by 334 - 85.

An amendment that any extension to article 50 be time limited to 30th June is rejected by 314 - 311.

Looks very much like the Nostradamus of the Forum has got it wrong again.

Gone from the sublime to the ridiculous with the Brexit Secretary exhorting MPs to vote for the deal then voting against, the Chief Whip abstained and most Tories voted against the deal.

Present day Parliamentarians are quite simply making fools of themselves, I should think that past PMs regardless of party must be turning in their graves.
I am totally fed up with the lot of them and their antics, watching the start of Question Time last night it seems I am not alone.

So its ok to ask MPs 3 times to vote on the same thing but not ok to ask the people to vote again?

correct ross, but there is a simple solution but mrs may will not go there in fear she might upset a few of her mp's.

Mrs May has learnt something from the EU, keep asking the same question until you get the answer you want.

More of our money to be frittered away in the event of an extension to article 50.

It seems there will also be the added cost the European Elections if we extend past June.
Just think how much the NHS, schools, police (examples) could have benefited if all these extra needless costs did not have to be paid.
Complete shambles all because of the mass ego trip by all at Westminster.

Excellent summing up in my view with people polarised on the issue and unwilling to listen to those who hold a different view. Social media is partly to blame as dog whistle politicians manipulate the masses by simplifying the issue.
