It’ll be to say that there will be a black and white her deal /no deal at all vote next week.
A last throw of the dice that’ll doom us all.
Totally called it.
It’s a strange day indeed when you get incisive political predictions from a buffoon like me.
If she only brings her deal I think the GE is next, there is not enough support for it and very little for no deal. Enough of the tories know they are finished regardless of how this goes and know she is the problem (including the ERG)

I don’t think she is going to offer no brexit.
I think she's going to bring her deal back to parliament and say to her party and the DUP, vote for my deal or I'm going to cancel this.
that was a bit of a non event

Nah, she will never offer cancel option - I think more like my deal versus risk of second ref amendment
She's going to try and force her deal through again. Until it fails a 3rd time, we are still in stasis.
That's assuming Bercrow will allow it, may be he will for the shitsandgigs.
At least she got her hair done
Poor attempt to bully parliament.
I think she will lose MV3 by 250 votes now.
She's an idiot.

But the MP's have spoken, we must respect that vote.
Did I miss something or is there still an issue with Bercow not allowing the same vote again? Is she just hoping that will go away?

How totally typical of Corbyn. Can we have his usual myopic cheerleaders justify that then.
So perhaps Corbyn left because he knew he was wasting his time? Ah.
And you fell for the smokescreen...
Do you think perhaps you're a tad reactionary?
She's on my side!
So why won't she cancel Brexit if she's on my side?
Finally, a cogent explanation for Corbyn's walk-out:

Put that on a bus!
Put Corbyn on the bus or that statement 😉
Honestly, you just act like a grown up then come out and slag her off properly
Nailed
She is only speaking for/to the brexiteers
Us in the 48% can go and fornicate ourselves as far as she's concerned
She is one of the worst people I think I've ever encountered

The country and the electorate have well and truly got what they deserved.
Looks to me like she might be just trying set up people to blame for when she inevitably fails for the final time.
Yeah, I reckon so.
They deserve it though.
The festering shit and exceptionalism at the heart of this country is being brilliantly exposed.
May in saying nothing new shocka!
Her total dearth of imagination or pragmatism is staggering. And the leader of HM opposition goes out of his way tonight to prove that he’s easily her equal on that score
So, does anyone think that there’s any other realistic option than crashing our next Friday?
Best start stockpiling. 8 days to economic Armageddon
Already ordering 3 months of lenses, 100 quid of canned and dried goods, useful over the counter medicines, bandages etc. Sterling changed to dollars.
Does a crossbow seem like a good shout Binners? 😀

Cancel or GE, I can see a NC vote going through at this stage
I don't think it will be quite Game of Thrones but...
Et Tu Borris or will it be from somewhere closer
Talking of grown-ups, I'm getting ready for them to intervene as promised earlier in the thread!
Corbyn walking out of the meeting made no difference, we all know that May would say nothing new, but it just makes him look like hes not cooperating at a time when the country wants leadership & cooperation.
Both parties are being eaten up by this
Good, I hope Corbyn doesn't survive the fallout.
**** him as much as May. He's ****ing complicit as well.
well i called this, shes alienated even more tories now

Hahahah ****ing brilliant.
Had a great night ride tonight, shouldn’t have checked the news, but somehow May and Corbyn have really up their game in the Tosspot stakes.
If there is an upside to a no-deal departure next week, it’ll be that their couldn’t be many left you actually think that either Labour or the Tories or their current leaders have actually done anything but **** us all over in the last 1000 days to try to further their own twisted causes.
It feels to me like the entire establishment has lost any semblance of legitimacy, no matter which side of the Brexit debate you were on. By trying to pander to both sides they have ****ed off the entire country.
Interesting times ahead.
There are going to be brownshirts, socialists and anarchists battling it out in the street in the not too distant future.
Read a great thing today but cant remember where so to paraphrase -
Just write 'we left the EU' on the side of a red bus and drive it about for a bit then all the leavers will think we left.
I hope Corbyn doesn’t survive the fallout.
I have a feeling that the fallout from this is going to be sesimic enough to shake up the whole political system. So you might get your wish.
Is there anything to stop her revoking article 50 then re-invoking it the same day, giving us a 2 year extension? It'll obviously annoy a few folks, but seems like a reasonable 'kick the can' option (note, it'd probably be the end of any political career, but that doesn't seem like much of a loss..)

Bin Dun a few times but it's basically taking the piss and the rules say we can't - came out in the review that said we could revoke
This an excellent piece: https://news.sky.com/story/the-pms-conduct-puts-parliaments-long-term-vitality-in-peril-11671146

I am beginning to believe she knows she's lost any chance of passing WA and so is choosing to go down in a blazing fireball of acrimony and blame shifting
5lab IIRC when ther decision was given that the UK could revoke a50 unilaterally it came with a proviso that this could not be for gaming the system so I think she would be in trouble doing it that way.

but somehow May and Corbyn have really up their game in the Tosspot stakes.
rather an excellent summary really
AD, that article rationalizes what I have been feeling over the past couple of days.
UK politics just went from twilight to pitch black with thick fog and wolves howling in the distance.
This whole thing started as an internal barney in the Tory party, and it’s still just that.
What’s staggering is what they’re prepared to sacrifice for their little spat. The entire countries economy, apparently
All us mere minions are incidental in their parlour game. Isn’t it all a frightfully jolly wheeze?
It's gone well beyond threatening just the Tory party Binners, I think some of them have just realised the true scale and horror of what is now happening to representative democracy in the UK. Whilst they have been running around trying to fix the bilge pumps, they've failed to notice iceberg right in front of them and the U-boat to port.
I do wish THM would return to assure us all that the grown-ups have it all under control...
Yes the article AD published is excellent. This is why I keep banging on about May setting herself outside and against Parliament and it being so dangerous and delusional
It's never really reported this way but Parliament generally works collaboratively - PMQs is the exception. Legislation requires compromise if the Executive wants to get it's full programme through in a session. Committees work cross party everyday. Parliament works on consent but because of this the checks are balances rely on adherence to a set of values and conventions rather than hard rules
May has trampled roughshod on this and now has the audacity to blame Parliament. She is truly anti-democratic and she deserves to get the harshest of criticism from across the House - but mostly from her own MPs if they have any respect for our political process
