Biggest government defeat in modern history!
Results are in.
ooo so she wants the NC vote!!
whoa-woosh
You lost get over it.
Properly slapped down!
Come on then Jezza... you know what happens now. To coin a phrase ‘just get on with it!’
Thats absolutely extraordinary
Not sure anyone had North of 200
ooo so she wants the NC vote!!
Well she wont lose it since although most of the tories hate her they wont want an election and the DUP will shit their pants at the thought of Corbyn getting power. Hopefully we can skip past that and get on to a second referendum.

The Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn says he has tabled a no confidence motion in the government.
and that was the order in which is had to happen, shame it took so long.
We need to find a way out of this.....
"In the last two years, she's had only one priority, the Conservative Party," he states
Yeah, and you are no better, your only priority has been your own push to power and you have ignored the wishes of your party membership in an attempt to gain it.
For the good of the country, now is the time to end brexit, whether it derails your personal ambitions should be of no consequence if you truly want to do the best for the country.
she can't come back with her deal as plan b, even reworded, it's not going to fly, not after the bitch slapping it just took.
How is the £ doing?
DUP are siding with the government, I guess they think it's the best route to a no deal brexit.

Well said. We can only hope.
You know how you feel sad about a punch-drunk boxer floundering around?
Sadly, there's no ref here
"She's a record breaker"
I am hopefull that this is the point at which the tide turns against the virus of nationalism, hatred of foreigners and insular miserabilism that is eating at the body politic of the West.
Europe ruling out a reopening of discussions over the withdrawal agreement....
There will be no special summit this weekend.

No sympathy here. She fought to get this job. In normal times she would resign immediately after tonight.
She is a complete zombie at this stage.
Donal Tusk should have kept his gob shut, he is just providing fuel for the brexiters to burn.
The British Pound was seen under notable pressure before staging a sharp recovery move after parliamentarians voted down the EU-UK Brexit deal by a margin of 230, the largest defeat by a government ever, surpassing the Ramsay MacDonald defeat of 1924.
The pound is a little happier
Corbyn had all the time in the world to come up with something and say something intelligent, and he fails.
For all he thinks May has done a bad job, I just can’t believe he’s still the Labour leader. They should have been in a strong position, but they still sound rudderless.
Edit. In the bath. Typing all over the place.

I'd hope you're right but in practice I imagine it'll lead to more polarisation, more dislocation from normalised politics and a significant shift in a large minority of the population towards "representative" popularist fringe groups in politics such as the bnp, edl and so on.
£'s recovered ever so slightly against the Euro, up 1 cent to 1.13 Euro now!
So.....
The case for a second ref has got to be a little stronger after tonight?
Still, many stars would have to align but...
They should have been in a strong position, but they still sound rudderless.
They have the same problems as the tories though. Whilst their party isnt quite so divided, close though, the voters in their core constituencies are.
Anyone see the interview with a brexiter outside the commons?
"He would die for Brexit" as would thousands of others he says....
Thats what the country is up against.
Frightening.

Excellent, I can afford to do the megavalanche!
She is still playing her games though.
Choosing no confidence votes (which she knows she'll..., Well, not lose, I hesitate to say win) instead of resignation so she can claim legitimacy
They have the same problems as the tories though. Whilst their party isnt quite so divided, close though, the voters in their core constituencies are.
And instead of spending the last 2 years letting their voters know how disastrous brexit will be for them, they have just been promising different coloured unicorns.
Corbyn is still pushing brexit as policy.
“He would die for Brexit” as would thousands of others he says….
He’s welcome to. Just so long as he does it quietly and doesn’t bother anyone else, that’s freedom.
Agreed. Blair/Cameron stage right with a new moderate party out of the ashes.
I don’t understand party politics, but I’m struggling to find a leader amongst them (apart from May who, whatever I think of the deal, has handled it with more class than the rest). YMMV...
UK is dead.
Ah the DUP still think the EU meant we will have another go, Also they will support the government tomorrow, how many tories are sick of her, the ERG or the DUP?
So there’ll be a confidence vote and the turkeys will go back to the norm and........
Tick......tock
They’re going to have to admit it in the end: It is a shit idea and can’t happen.
There's no chance of any Tories voting against the govt in a no confidence motion I'm afraid
What does tomorrow night's vote have to be to bring down the government? Is it 2/3rds?
Poopscoop
Anyone see the interview with a brexiter outside the commons?“He would die for Brexit” as would thousands of others he says….
Poor chap. He'd have to go to Europe to euthanised, not legal here.
I presume that's what he's offering to do...
Agreed. Blair/Cameron stage right with a new moderate party out of the ashes.
Blair jumped before he was pushed and Cameron is a shitshow.
"moderate" policies is exactly what led to this entire mess. They were anything but moderate in their free market dreams which left a bunch of people wondering who the hell would represent them and so fell for the lies of Farage and then later Rees-Mogg and the like who pretended to care about them.
