Farage is STILL saying how the German car makers will help us deliver the Brexit he wants! Ffs!
Then bangs on abbot WTO being all fine and dandy AGAIN! ffs!
Nice ‘Titanic’ analogy in the Guardian today: Rees Mogg and his ERG chums aren’t bothered about the iceberg of ‘No Deal’ as they know the lifeboats are reserved for those in first class
The rest of us can go down with the ship
This is tense!
Good luck everyone....
SMASH!
****ing hell.
Absolutely destroyed
Call her a taxi...
Wooo! 230 odd
OMG !
RESULT: MPs reject Theresa May’s deal by 202 to 432.
as they know the lifeboats are reserved for those in first class
and they have taken out insurance policies on all those on the lower decks as well.
Who had 230?
FATALITY
Holy **** 230! That's a record defeat!
May believes she still holds confidence! HAHAHAHAH
Don’t think anyone saw it being that big
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.
There’s no chance of any Tories voting against the govt in a no confidence motion I’m afraid
Then we have deadlock, no new deal, no new options, nothing will change - so are we back here on Monday morning for another vote?
Or do we see the more creative options?
BJ looks knackered
Poor chap. He’d have to go to Europe to euthanised, not legal here.
Nah they can go for the Swiss option.

UK is dead.
Tick tock, it won't be long...
No confidence vote is a simple majority
There’s no chance of any Tories voting against the govt in a no confidence motion I’m afraid
Unlikely but, given she promised not to lead them into the next GE and they're stuck with her due to their own NC failing, don't underestimatethe greed and stupidity of those who want the crown.
What does tomorrow night’s vote have to be to bring down the government? Is it 2/3rds?
It won’t happen. It will resolve nothing.
They will have to admit that Brexit is fundamentally shit. Johnson is on now saying that this gives the Maybot a mandate to go back to the EU basically saying “look how ****ing barmy we are, we’re holding a gun to our own head and one false move and we’ll shoot”.
The man is a charlatan and a crook.
3 labour members and Frank Field voted for mays deal !
I must say, this is all very entertaining.
we’re holding a gun to our own head and one false move and we’ll shoot
It's worked before
I must say, this is all very entertaining.
It would be if you and I weren’t ultimately the people who are going to pay for this fiasco one way or another.
This may come in useful. Next Winter Survival Guide

It’s a shame about the language in the Blazing Saddles clip as, otherwise, I would be sharing widely.
It is the perfect metaphor. Except the ‘other side’ aren’t the idiots in this one.

I know it wont happen. Tories will club together with the boss, but I was just curious to know the % required to bring it down is.
Bloody labour traitors!!! Lost me my bet of her getting under 200 votes 😡
Well the mother of parliaments is now a senile cat women who should be in a care home, if austerity hadn’t closed that option

Or, the EU is the one pretending the to hold the gun to their heads. Letting the UK fools think they have any power in this situation.
Entertaining for some maybe but our company does a lot of trade with Europe so we might have to make layoffs if we suddenly lose 20% of our business. Probably start with the warehouse staff who voted for Brexit - not that they had any idea what they were voting for, generally they just wanted to poke the establishment in the eye.

Ooooh, or is it a triple bluff?
Problem is, only one ‘side’ has any cards and everyone knows it.
