    By just cancelling the vote, it’s kind of that simple, she does not need to present a bill to parliament if she doesn’t want to.

    Peston saying MPs are planning to reject May’s motion to cancel the vote..

    No, it isn’t. Any chance of people making an effort to get informed about how our democracy actually functions?

    OK so who decides what bills go to the house and when? Who can decide not to put it up for a vote?

    A50 statement seems to be “we signed up to it before the ecj ruling so the ruling doesn’t apply to us”. Yeah right.

    Really? I can’t tell if that’s a joke…

    ECJ rules that it is the nation state’s government’s power as to when/if to Leave the EU…

    …UK government say that you can’t force that power/responsibility onto us.

    Weird world.

    Take back control.

    Sovereignty.

    So, let me get this right (as I’ve been away from this thread for a little while)

    A50 can now be cancelled without the agreement of the other 27 nations.

    May has half of a nothing “plan”

    So, let’s cancel Brexit and get on with our lives whilst watching the brexiteers have exploding heads .

    Certainly save on the NHS budget.

    Take back the EU 👍

    Stop being racists 👍

    Surely she is just trying to run down the clock so much that other “soft Brexit” options become impracticable and there is a choice only between her deal and no deal?

    Saw it reported on a news site from a goverment source but can’t track it down again. So either my Google fu is weak, it was removed from the page or I imagined the last 2 years and it was all a bad dream. I’m hoping for #3.

    No truer word written IMO.

    Except she leaves out England in that statement, i’ll forgive her that because the English treat the Scottish with little respect as it is.

    PM told Cabinet Tories would suffer a ‘notable’ loss if they pressed ahead with vote on her deal.

    She said ‘risks are too great’ and she is going back to Brussels to secure ‘legally-binding assurance’ we won’t be trapped in backstop indefinitely

    From the telegraph

    Really? really? REALLY?
    How deluded is she? The NI backstop has to be indefinite and has to not be unilaterally ended by the UK or its pointless and has no value.

    I, like you, don’t spend too much time on this thread, it’s bad for my heart.

    It would be nice wouldn’t it?

    Every poll I’ve seen, either in my echo chamber Twitter feed, or on the News says that the Public are fed up with it.

    Scores of Leave voters are making public statements in their own little ways to say they feel cheated by Vote Leave and would vote to stay now, given the chance.

    Every promise they made has proven to be false.

    Not a single Brexiteer is brave enough to say “Okay, this is what will really happen if we leave, no, let’s let the public decide.”

    The Tories have imploded, The hardcore Brexiteers, whilst not large enough in number to actually force anything, are running around like saboteurs setting fire to everything and anything they can to try to force one of them into No 10 somehow. This wouldn’t usually be a problem in such a time of national crisis, if it wasn’t for the fact that the opposition is lead by a spineless, snide prick who would will happily **** us all over, to get there himself.

    The only ‘party’ that’s been damaged more by this than the Tories is UKIP, who, for all intents and purposes don’t exist any more, the very ‘real’ reason why we got in this mess in the first place has gone, yet here we are.

    Frankly I’d be delighted more than surprised if the Queen sends the lot of them to the tower until sense prevails.

    May heading to Brussels to try and renegotiate the Irish backstop

    A) if there was a better alternative then surely that would’ve been included in the deal already

    B) I hope the EU tell her to **** off

    If May goes cap in hand to Brussels and they tell her to do one, she’s going to look even worse, she’s absolutely out of options bar one…

    Theres never been any negotiation, and there certainly won’t be one now. The EU held all the cards right from day one.

    It was surely obvious to anyone with anything between their ears that any ‘deal’ would involve the EU deciding what it wanted then putting it in front of us to sign, with the words “there you go. Take it or ****in’ leave it!”

    Unfortunately it looks like a no deal Brexit just became a very real possibility. The idea that self-serving morons like Rees-Mogg, IDS, John Redwood, Bill Cash, Boris ****ing Johnson and their ilk could get what they’ve always wanted absolutely terrifies me!

    Well, sometimes it’s “career before country”, so compared to, say Boris Johnson, “party before country” is relatively principled.

    How many outright ‘lies’ can she tell before she’s held to account.

    we won’t hold a new election

    – let’s have an election

    there’s no chance of pulling this vote

    – we’re delaying the vote

    we will not revoke A50

    – we’re waiting…….

    The statement from the EC above is crystal clear, but I hope she goes there and gets told to **** off back home again
