Breaking:
On @skynews now: if PM does not announce a date for meaningful vote Today Corbyn will announce no confidence vote IN PM

Here we go, here we go, here we fucking go.

Mid-Jan date, while she tries to lecture a noisy-as-fuck house that because they agreed with A50 they agree with everything that followed

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/17/britain-second-referendum-preferendum-brexit

In the polling station people would not just receive the classical yes/no question, but a list of 30 proposals on Britain’s future relationship with the European Union. They might include ideas such as: “The status of Northern Ireland and the UK should be the same, even if that implies a harder border with the Republic of Ireland”; “Only Britain should be able to regulate who enters the country”; “Migration can only be tackled if Britain works with its European partners”; “Travelling to the EU should not require a passport.” Et cetera.

In the run-up to the preferendum every voter would receive a brochure with the arguments for and against each proposal, as is already common practice in Switzerland. In the voting booth citizens would be invited to rate the proposals (to show how strongly they agree or disagree) and rank them (pick a top three).

Jesus fucking christ on a bike can you imagine how many people would bother to figure out what to do, and the chaos in polling stations if they did? Let's just have an endless series of referendums the same as the first one instead, until everyone gets bored of it and we stay in the EU out of inertia.

xp getting in before the nickb "A50 one-way" pun

that sounds like a california ballot xp

debate and meaningful vote announced week of january 7 so that's that for the no confidence vote

The vote's the week after, I think.

yep it's on the 14th. Can't remember if that is the optimum date for everyone topping themselves, but it's definitely close.

3rd Monday in Jan or something iirc

ofc that's pseudo-science dreamed up by the marketing industry

the bloody indignitas of them!

I think we’re supposed to top ourselves in february

That’s usually when it becomes clear that Sheffield United aren’t getting automatic promotion

Whilst reporting that some pro Brexit campaigners in yellow jackets were shouting misogynist stuff at Kay and that I was “not British” and “a rapist” ... well done all who helped create this situation. Good job.

They might include ideas such as: “The status of Northern Ireland and the UK should be the same, even if that implies a harder border with the Republic of Ireland”

I hope there are separate questions for the above (no thanks) plus "The status of Northern Ireland and the UK GB should be the same, even if that implies the whole UK is in the Single Market and Customs Union, gay marriage and abortions are legalised in NI, and the Irish language has the same status as Welsh and will appear on road signs and be taught in schools from Sept 2019 onwards" (sure, why not, apart from the resulting loyalist violence, but maybe we can have a question about that too)

perhaps you should only get to answer if you know whether NI is in GB or not. hell, also whether Ireland is, that one seems to puzzle some Brexiteers. and please attach a 2000-word essay on the question of what to call the British Isles

bloody brexit campaigners - there's so much material to yell abuse at kay burley for, why would you start with the misogynistic bullshit ffs

i'm impressed that David Van Reybrouck's academic rep is almost as high as he clearly is

ive never considered "the isles" before aps

i think i quite like that?

"these islands" is the term used in official documents between the Irish and British governments

going forward we can be future islands

*does the ice skater dance*

going forward more likely to be "the large barely-submerged rocks in the north-east Atlantic" tbh

JC just announced he is tabling a motion of no confidence against TM as PM.

that's a bad look for a party leader, changing your mind like that

I was v confused by the differing definitions of "tabling a motion"

let's fucking go

Ugh this is a bad call imo. I don't see how no-confidence gets a majority at this stage (unless Lab have been given assurances from the DUP, but that flies in the face of all the DUP's public statements to date).

I was thinking between the 1st vote on the 14th and a 2nd at a later date would be good to table this motion.

But he can do it again anyway so..

"these islands" is the term used in official documents between the Irish and British governments

The Queen said “these islands” in her speech at Dublin Castle, I hadn’t actually connected it to it being the official terminology at the time.

I’m not sure there is an expectation of winning, but if all Tories vote with the government, they might use that as a wedge given 117 voted against last week? Idk, maybe they’ve had a few words on the qt with Tories prepared to vote against and that means they don’t need the DUP to win.

HRH obviously an ISB fan.

xpost Yeah never mind - I wasn't really grasping that this is aimed at TM rather that the govt and doesn't invoke the specific FTPA no-confidence procedures, so that's still in the bag (for if/when the vote on the deal fails?). Basically I'm an idiot and will now cede discussion to the non-idiots in the room.

Blimey - @jeremycorbyn has now tabled a motion of no confidence in the PM - announcing it at the end of the statement with the PM watching and walking out at the end... pic.twitter.com/rQVUTxTwRZ

May almost looks relieved there

xp nah don’t be like that, only a fool would be certain in these times

Nobody is AT ALL certain of ANYTHING - and this might go on FOREVER too.

so how does this tabling work exactly? when would the actual vote of no confidence take place? does it need to pass some kind of qualifying vote first?

well you see, there's this mace...

Am told Labour chief whip Nick Brown told PLP if the government doesn’t grant time for Jeremy Corbyn’s no confidence motion in Theresa May then Labour will escalate: no confidence motion in government as a whole under Fixed Term Parliaments Act. That has to be granted time
