Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

Lads, apparently turning parliament off and on again is back in play for Monday - it would erase Letwin's second day and allow a proper MV3 of the kind that everyone has been asking for.

John Bercow, the Speaker, says he is not selecting any of the three amendments down.

if they start a new session and the gov can't pass a Queen's speech then to all intents and purposes it should fall altho fuck reading the FTPA to clarify that

what kind of maniac/idiot would vote to pass it for this shower?

nb that question is rhetorical

i have no idea what's happening anymore

Not passing it would mean just overrunning the Apr 12th deadline though?

Is passing the WA today really the last chance to secure a possible extension to May 22th? Or is it gov shenanigans?

I think the UK has got a guaranteed extension to then if the WA passes today - after that it's coming up with a plan in the next two weeks, which if it isn't no deal or revocation, will need a long extension.

Or of course May could pass it next week and go back cap-in-hand to ask for a short extension, just enough to fuck up the EU elections - if there's any loose ends at all then Macron has been giving the impression that he'd rather no deal than any more extensions. He may just be playing bad cop, but I think it'd be a mistake to underestimate the amount that the EU is tired of the UK by now.

Ty that clears it up somewhat.

EU def completely tired of the UK/Tory gov, though I'm not sure Macron or anyone else would want to be the one triggering no-deal and be held responsible for any fall-out (economic or otherwise) following that. No yet, anyway.

meanwhile spare a thought etc

It is very painful to vote for this deal. But I hope we can now work together to remedy its defects, avoid the backstop trap and strive to deliver the Brexit people voted for

macron probably doesn't want a hard tory brexiteer PM playing to the gallery of the UK RW press and causing ructions for the impending EU budget discussions either

Wait is Bercow really not selecting that Labour leave amendment?! Lol

Government will legislate to ensure MPs can set negotiating mandate for next phase of Brexit, Cox says

Cox says there will be new mechanism introduced that will ensure the Commons is consulted on the next phase of the negotiation.

He says the government would have accepted the Gareth Snell amendment had it been called.

Snell asks Cox for an assurance that the EU withdrawal agreement bill will contain the legislative proposals in the amendment.

Cox says the bill has not been published yet, but if Snell bring backs his plans as an amendment to that bill, the government will be “minded to accept”.

bolt

Not only is it a blindfold Brexit, MPs would be going into a different room, led by a different prime minister-

Sensual Brexit

Hundreds of years of repression and this is the result

don't encourage bg

xps

i need no encouragement to discuss the throbbing, gasping, tantric brexit this country deserves

Key party Brexit

flaccid, dribbling, syphilitic brexit

Breaking: Taoiseach Leo Varadkar will travel to Paris on Tuesday to meet @EmmanuelMacron, Chancellor Angela Merkel will come to Dublin on Thursday for talks at Farmleigh acc to Irish govt spokesman.

Rumours sweeping the Commons that a substantial number of Labour MPs are going to vote with the Tories to get the Withdrawal Agreement through. Labour whips running back and forth from the Chamber and locked in worried looking conversations.

what the fuck

Always thought this was the most likely scenario.

They're bottling the cliff edge essentially.

Assuming they all represent heavily Leave voting constituencies as well.

We can assume Jarvis and Nandy but it's going to be interesting to see how many of the other people hyped as future leaders / alternatives to Corbyn get behind this.

No other reason surely? (xp)

Nandy has a majority of 16k iirc. Can’t see her being unseated by UKIP.

maybe they genuinely believe its for the best lol

whips need to screw the nut

Can’t wait for the press to go with “Corbyn enabled Brexit!” even after Corbyn literally votes against it again

Whips need to convince them to abstain rather than vote against.

(xp) Not sure many Labour MPs are in danger of being unseated by UKIP, but you try telling a headless chicken that.

Corbyn has enabled Brexit by not properly purging these dopes when he had the chance.

yep already seen FBPE'ers tweeting this is Corbyn's fault

When did he have the chance SV?

SV joining comrade alphabet on the tank there.

Having said that, it’s not unknown for the SNP to be shitstirring unnecessarily, so.

The windows aren't closing in my work today and it's fucking freezing - Corbyn's fault.

Lucky - literally being blinded by the sun here. :(

If this is what happens, Labour will also be handing a blank cheque to whoever comes after May - Boris, Raab, whoever. It would take a lot of explaining. Let’s hope the rumours are wrong. https://t.co/jCMpd4mEMJ

— Nicola Sturgeon (@NicolaSturgeon) March 29, 2019

Raab is voting for the deal now.

This is going to get p tight

shitting it now

Is 'Change UK’ supposed to be CHUK for Chuka Umunna like 'En Marche' is supposed to recall Emmanuel Macron?

— Jon Stone (@joncstone) March 29, 2019

I thought she would lose by about 30 through a combo of DUP and unmoved ERG Tories. Did think there would be some Lab leavers voting with May but not enough to offset.

And a few Tory remainders..

what bloc is going to turn?

jarry leaving this tight

gonna be like braveheart when he bursts in

What's Government strategy this morning?

I'm told that in a bid to win over Labour MPs 'cash is going all over the place'

Two Labour MPs said to be looking for £100m+ *each* for regeneration in their constituencies in exchange for support

All contingent on deal going through

— Steven Swinford (@Steven_Swinford) March 29, 2019

Not sure enough labour wets will vote for this thing today. Can we all just please calm down and stop talking about purges?
