why are the SNP supporting "common market 2.0" (lol) but not customs union? what's the difference?

The four of amendments for another night of misery:

John Bercow, the Speaker, announces he has selected four amendments.

C - Ken Clarke’s for a customs union

The Tory former chancellor Ken Clarke’s customs union plan requires any Brexit deal to include, as a minimum, a commitment to negotiate a “permanent and comprehensive UK-wide customs union with the EU”. This was defeated by the smallest margin in the first round, falling just six votes short.

On 27 March, MPs voted against this option by 271 t0 265.

D - Nick Boles’ for common market 2.0

Tabled by the Conservatives Nick Boles, Robert Halfon and Dame Caroline Spelman, Labour’s Stephen Kinnock and Lucy Powell plus the SNP’s Stewart Hosie. The motion proposes UK membership of the European Free Trade Association (Efta) and European Economic Area. It allows continued participation in the single market and a “comprehensive customs arrangement” with the EU after Brexit – including a “UK say” on future EU trade deals – would remain in place until the agreement of a wider trade deal that guarantees frictionless movement of goods and an open border in Ireland.

On 27 March, MPs voted against this option by 283 to 189.

E - Peter Kyle’s for a confirmatory public vote

It has been drawn up by the Labour MPs Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson. This motion would require a public vote to confirm any Brexit deal passed by parliament before its ratification. This option, tabled last time by the Labour former foreign secretary Dame Margaret Beckett, polled the highest number of votes although it was defeated by 295 votes to 268.

On 27 March, MPs voted against this option by 295 to 268.

G - Joanna Cherry’s for revoking article 50 in the face of no-deal Brexit

The SNP MP Joanna Cherry joins Grieve and MPs from other parties with this plan to seek an extension to the Brexit process, and if this is not possible then parliament will choose between either no deal or revoking article 50.

An inquiry would follow to assess the future relationship likely to be acceptable to Brussels and have majority support in the UK.

On 27 March, MPs voted against this option by 293 to 184.

xp Freedom of movement, which is necessary for their support.

What, the SNP aren't fully pro freedom of movement? But but but but but

got it, thanks. here's a common market 2.0/norway+ explainer for idiots aka me https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-47639946

xp. i think you/re misreading what andrew is saying

For a while i felt like "Common Market 2.0" was a savvy marketing notion because a lot of Brexiters used to claim that the EU as Common Market was fine and their objections were based on a mission now crept out of control but we're at least months past that kind of disingenuousness

jim i'm sure you're right, i'm halfway pissed

so we're expecting common market 2.0 and confirmatory vote to pass, right?

and then there's a 3 hour cabinet meeting tomorrow sans civil servants so they can discuss a general election.

doesn't feel banter enough.

There is a naked protest in the public gallery

Anything 2.0 should be rejected on the principle that a 3.0 or even a 4.0 would be better.

Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Point Oh

lol if that's the reference i think

“2.0” is perfectly late 1900s Cool Britannia language for the finale imo.

*writes 10000 words on why a proper multithreaded democracy would be able to at least make it to 2.1 before moving to 3.0, deletes them*

nom de power station brexiter Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax is back in the limelight. By the time this is over I'll be familiar with allsorts of obscure tory non-entities that I otherwise would never have heard of.

more importantly Drax is a Bond villain name

UK like the guy loudly announcing he is leaving the party, then you find him two hours later still hugging and saying his goodbyes.

Who let those hippies in the House?

Today 11 activists from Extinction Rebellion stripped off in the House of Commons public gallery in an attempt to draw politicians' attention to the climate and ecological crisis.

Two of the group wore full grey body paint and elephant masks to bring the message that politicians neglect of the climate crisis has become an 'elephant in the room'. Inspired by the suffragettes' protest in the same building over 100 years ago, activists glued their hands to surfaces in the public gallery.

Mark Øvland, 35, said: "We are impelled to act in this way because the most important and pressing issue of our time is being flagrantly and recklessly ignored by our government and media. By undressing in parliament, we are putting ourselves in an incredibly vulnerable position, highlighting the vulnerability that all of us share in the face of environmental and societal breakdown. There is an elephant in the room and it is demanding attention."

I want to know how they took those photos. The staff acted like they’d cut you for even trying to take a pic of anything

xxp no way to speak about Change UK!

nobody is going to do jack shit about the climate until the first 10^8-death famine

surely 10⁶ ought to do it

Thousands of FBPE deadbeats to lecture you on how staying in the EU is the only way to tackle climate change.

multiple xps they are realllllly strict about this but it can be done

surely 10⁶ ought to do it

a mere flesh wound - rotten luck but nothing that a little extra investment couldn't have seen right!

Back in the debate, John Bercow, the Speaker, says 40 backbenchers want to speak in the debate. They will not all get called, he says.

The debate will run until 8pm.
