"oh you don't get me I'm the end of the union": lol brexit is how we're all gonna die

Having a dram for the no-confidence - will finish the bottle when a Labour government is elected. So hopefully it won't be too long.

The actual vote is tomorrow (after the letterbox thing), but 99% sure it won’t pass.

how many times has Bercow said "that seems to me to be so BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS that no sensible member can disagree with it" in the last three days?

matt hancox is a government minister

Yeah, it's still hard to make the numbers for a no-confidence. But hopefully the fact that it is such a drubbing might swing it?

There's surely 7 swivel-eyed loons among 130 pissed-off Tories

presumably the Tories voting against the government would have to get worked on by someone in their own party who thinks they can (a) become the party leader and (b) win the resulting election?

Probably a lot to be said for people sleeping (or not) on it tonight, yeah.

WES STREETING

That presumes z) that May will actually resign at that point

At least the Tories can unseat her if she survives a no-confidence...oh, no, they can't. Not for a year. Smh.

They don’t have time for a leadership election if a GE is called; it’s like 25 days and May has already won a no confidence vote. It’s her or nothing if there’s a GE.

God I hate every single one of these braying cunts.

Next thread title

This.

Just hilariously bad.

Three labour MPs voted for the deal - Ian Austin, John Mann and Kevin Barron.

Frank Field and the Lib Dem who resigned did too.

There's surely 7 swivel-eyed loons among 130 pissed-off Tories

No way, anyone who would rebel is surely a passionate Remainer and I doubt they would see much difference between a Labour Brexit and a Tory one, even if they were inclined to destroy their own party.

So how does this work now? No confidence vote tomorrow? And whether or not May survives, the dreaded No Deal is nigh?

lol EU ruling out any more negging for cunning plan b for now.

catching up with the headlines and lmao

Sorry I'm late, been watching in the pub

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

118 Tories voted against.

So how does this work now? No confidence vote tomorrow? And whether or not May survives, the dreaded No Deal is nigh?

No deal is the default if A50 isn’t revoked or extended.

This is just embarassing.

By my reckoning about 50 Tories regarded as sure supporters have voted the other way

I think May's going to start talking openly about extending Article 50 now, it's the only chance of getting whatever reworked deal she can cobble together through Parliament, and even that's extremely unlikely. When she said no Brexit was more likely than no deal, it was obvious who she was trying to threaten.

Near-on the same number that voted against her in the 1922 Committee shenanigans.

She just *could* lose the no confidence

My favorite line from the Washington Post coverage:

“The House must calm itself. Zen!” John Bercow shouted.

John Redwood voted against lol

just popping into the thread to say

lmao

fwiw, if anyone thinks the UK is leaving the EU in March, £30 will currently get you £150 with the bookies.

I love this guy talking about trains to a near empty chamber

has to be a50

and then nothing and itll never happen

corbs never gets pm tho

Sorry I'm late, been watching in the pub

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

You found one god bless :DDD

Quoting Lenin to Andrew Neil!? Excellent.

:)

(not that I'm a leninist, just for the record)

and then looking down and checking her phone when mandy started speaking was good as well.

FWIW I think an entire political generation is about to be swept away off the back of this.

Genuine lol at the the state of Sammy Wilson.

Bad bet. Tories won't support JC's tabled NoConf, because he's JC. May stays, will go to Europe begging for scraps that can be seen as gains opposed to the current deal, it will be voted upon and voted down again etc.

This result prob means Brexit is getting softer and softer; if it will happen at all.

EU says there's nothing to renegotiate, the loss is *so* massive she can't hope to fix it by tweaking the political agreement, so what use is there in extending A50? Hope? How willing will the EU be to reject a request like that?

boris on c4 news now saying that this vote actually gives may a massive mandate

god what a cunt

How much do you reckon the DUP are asking for their support tomorrow?

If May is going to cling on, I think LBI has it - she has to opt for permanent customs union to get Labour onside and keep the DUP. But then she genuinely will be in a destroy-the-Tories position because that's an actual red line for at least 1/3 of them

I mean sure if she was proposing a negative motion

ERG should have kept their powder dry

Developing:

Theresa May said they want to reach out

BUT

No10 also say their principles include securing an independent trade policy.

🚨I.e. no customs union with the EU, Labour’s main ask before talks even start🚨

(Now principles aren’t red lines but strong early hurdle)

she is incapable of doing herself ANY favours

Boris Johnson’s fringe is doing a noticeable camouflaging of some alarming and recent male pattern baldness!
