So listening to our much loved
blinkered politicians this morning both sides of the arguments think they are right and all others are wrong so will not change, result unless they do this chaos will continue.
To put it bluntly what a cock up by all of them.
BTW I can no longer listen to any interview given outside Parliament because of because of that idiot who keeps shouting, I would now happily superglue his mouth shut.

What happens next? The PM will be sent home from Brussels with the tail between her legs having been told that the next vote is final and after her behaviour yesterday, MPs will ensure it fails again.
Mrs May has referred many times recently to us not leaving the EU at all if her deal is not backed. Does it need a Commons majority to revoke Article 50 or can the PM act unilaterally?

Before one gets to that, I believe there's the little matter of UK law regarding our departure...

Button is dead right. It often seems to get missed amongst all the furore about who's to bless and who's to blame but unless parliament passes a statutory instrument, out we jolly well go.
The knuckledraggers are well aware of this fact. Even Bojo was dodging questions this morning. If they keep their heads down and mouths shut then a week tomorrow will be their day. And to compound their delight, the delusional Theresa will be forced to go and God knows what catchfart will be pushed forward to take her place. Such fun!

As things stand there is no time to change the law before the 29th but surely if a 2 or 3 month extension is agreed there is plenty of time to enact a new law. Our masters in Brussels would not be having another summit if there was only 8 days left before we are cut adrift. Having said that I really do think the EU are now humouring our PM and have accepted that we will go our different ways next week so all this bluster about another vote, a General Election, Nigel's long march which he watches through a pub window are irrelevant.

Farage is having kittens with excitement now as no deal draws ever nearer, watch him disappear off the scene afterwards like he did after the Referendum result was announced.

Bit of a reprieve for the PM but it remains to be seen whether she can coax back those MPs she alienated on Wednesday evening.

And so the Brexit issue is allowed to drag on but it also shows how much the EU want some control of us or they would have said no.

That statement by the Prime Minister, absolute nonsense! At what point did the UK become a dictatorship? It's down to Parliament to take over now, and for Jeremy to come out of hiding - history will not judge him well if he simply sits on his hands hoping that he can't be blamed for anything if it all does go to pot.

Been effectively one for some time with the PM talking at her Ministers and MPs and never appearing to listen to them. The two people she is most reliant on are the Chief Whip and chair of the 1922 committee, both of whom have washed their hands of her - she knows best and will find others to blame for the fiasco in her memoirs.

Civil war in the Tory party gets ever nearer with the leadership effectively saying to their MPs "pick a card, any card".

All getting rather aimless now with the next vote likely to be pulled again.

Taking everything into account including the 4 million names petition and the mass demonstration in London today our MPs do have a way of extricating themselves from a tricky situation. One of the 7 choices confronting them is to approve another Referendum, then they can say that any blame for what happens next is not down to them.
