"I understand @PennyMordaunt is in No10 right now pushing the PM AGAIN to back a free vote on her Brexit deal. Thinks it will avoid need for PM to quit if she loses the meaningful vote."
If May wants to gamble, maybe she hopes this forces Labour to offer a free vote.
Actually, if she thinks she's going to lose the vote anyway, she might as well offer a free vote.
On an issue this important how could anyone not vote their conscience even if it were not a free vote?
Well, for a John McDonnell the lack of a conscience may make things easier.
I had a hunch that Brexit would be the Gammon Waterloo.
What does that even mean?
A last gasp mobilization for the outdated reactionary attitudes exemplified by ruddy-complexioned well-upholstered boomer males, before they are utterly crushed.
There will always be more coming along behind them. The attitudes may change, but the physical characteristics won't. Assuming no ethnic cleansing, of course.
Have checked out for 4 hours. Has anything exciting happened?
I logged off last night whilst PBers were reporting snippets from the text of the deal and finding unusual common ground that it would be OK for most of the country.
I logged on again this afternoon to find a foreign land where everyone was berating the Leavers.
Hopefully the common ground will eventually gain recognition & acceptance.
Good evening, everyone.
It is strange that most on here saw the deal as a reasonable compromise but the ERG and DUP have thrown their toys out of the pram and Labour are cynically pursuing the chance of a GE.
I wonder if over the next couple of weeks saner voices will be heard in Westminster. I think TMay was right to say that people justwant this done.
Good grief. Corbyn really has misplayed this.
How so? Politically he is now well placed because his rebels do not appear to be keen to vote for the government, and a GE has risen in likelihood.
I was commenting on a fervent Labour supporter criticising him for 'cynicism.'
Grayling, I think, is an actual friend of May. He hates this deal and everything it represents, but he also won't want to hurt May more than he has to.
Let Gove wield the killing blow, he can just slipstream out in the murder-peloton.

Gove's blow won't be fatal.
I guess we'll see.
As far as I'm concerned May is already terminally holed beneath the water line. Gove just needs to give the process a little *shove*.
One little thing to keep an eye on: just as Labour are very keen to act so that whatever happens they are not to blame for any possible bad outcome, in the same way both the EU and the UK government are very reluctant to be the body responsible for any new border issues between Ireland and N Ireland. The EU, so far as I know, do not have a plan for keeping an open border if there is no WA on 29th March, or if they have they are keeping quiet about it. Despite all current protestations therefore it may be more likely than people think that the EU will be open to extending the Article 50 period if they are asked to by the UK in order to avoid that dilemma. In reality therefore there may be more time that people expect for negotiations if (when) it is clear that the current ones are dead.

You might be right but I cannot see her quitting. It will take 48 letters then a VoNC and I think she will win that.
If Gove resigns, can I finally compare him to Mark Reckless?
For his betrayal of David Cameron I compared to Gove to Mark Reckless.
So I can say 'traitorous pig dog?'

We Will Rock You was released in 1980, of course Freddie was diagnosed with HIV BEFORE Live Aid, of course Queen hadn't recorded together for YEARS before Live Aid, of course

I sometimes wonder if your account is operated by some sort of Dadaist art collective
I wish they'd get on with it - while I believe them that May does not have the support of the party, if you are still struggling to pull together 48 measly letters I will have to assume that she does have their support.
Away from all this play-acting, we have the real fight for power and influence. There are 4 local by-elections today - 2 Labour defences in Bassetlaw and Stroud, a Con defence in Kent, and a LD defence in Oxfordshire
I wish they'd get on with it - while I believe them that May does not have the support of the party, if you are still struggling to pull together 48 measly letters I will have to assume that she does have their support.
they haven't got 48 because they all pretty much think they will lose
If they fail in the next few days after JRM full on challenge it will be a complete humilation for them
Yeah, their focus on the letters has always seemed counterproductive. Much easier to torpedo the meaningful vote than win the vonc. So their constant state of 47.9 letters had turned into a running joke. "We're going to strengthen your position" is hardly an effective threat
So May is battling on and the ERG have overplayed their hand. They only have about 30 votes against.
The question now is whether Labour have about 15% of decent people in their parliamentary ranks that care more about their constituents and country than upsetting Momentum.

The ERG are making May look competent.
May has delivered a deal that gets almost all the benefits of Leaving while protecting jobs and maintaining JIT supply chains. Everyone said that couldn't be done yet she achieved it.
The question is whether there are enough MPs in parliament that show similar fortitude.
May is either going to have to keep Brexit Secretary vacant (looks ridiculous) or appoint a remainer (and further antagonise the noisy majority of her party baying for her blood).
Can't imagine any brexiteer touching that job with a shitty stick now.
Why on earth would they with May & Robbins controlling the agenda and dictating every move andcincession
Is he making some push for the leadership in a plan with the Mogg ?
Or is he a complete fecking moron ?
Well allegedly he was cut out of arranging the details, in which case why did he not notice this I wonder, and despite quitting didn't call for May to go.
So he's a moron. And may be making a leadership push.

TMay will try and keep going because of her faith in God and herself. She believes she is annoited while too many others consider her arrointed. Mad, possibly, but on a scale of some of the world's present leaders, a mild but significant condition .

I would like those opposed to this agreement to specifically and clearly state what they object to and to indicate how a better agreement could have been reached. I think that official Labour is proposing 100% BINO no advantages over memebership but clear disadvantages. Clearly not honouring the vote. From EMG it appears to be fantasy negotiations or WTO and negotiate like hell to try and reduce damage. Even a "normal" FT agreement would play merry hell with supply chains. She's actually done a good job and all the arrogant self-serving and deluded bastards who think they are moving in for the kill deserve to fail.

There's also the point that, if the deal were agreed (no laughter at the back) there's nothing to renegotiate right now anyway, so it isn't crucial even if the various joint committees and arbitration stuff and future prep will indeed be complex to react or respond to.

They do. They will.
Shame no markets on how many Lab MPs will vote for it, I'd be on 0-5 as most likely.
Is he making some push for the leadership in a plan with the Mogg ?

It’s hard to say but I’d go with psychopath.
Someone who hears one of his cabinet colleagues say, “I cannot guarantee essential medicine availability” and thinks, “the anvil of my Europhobia is more important” is someone I wouldn’t want to rely on.
The thing that beats me about all this is how Mogg is a mover and shaker of any note.
The man is not guy of principle, he is an idealogue and that type should never get their puritanical hands on any levers..
He's a reasonably articulate representative of a significant strand of opinion within his party, and he's very willing to be on hand to provide quotes. Were he not there it would just be someone else since the opinion is still there in the party.
If you think the rebels are all mouth no trousers, or even if you think they’re not but May can still find 159+ MPs to vote for her in a confidence vote, then laying her to go before 31st Dec at near enough evens looks like value on Betfair.

There was hardly any MPs from all of the parties today in parliament agreeing with Mays deal.

Judging by the absolute state of the pricks, jokers, liars, dullards and clowns who have resigned or sent in bloody letters in the last 24 hours, this is a decent deal. A twat who doesn’t know where France is, a congenital scouse liar, a sinister Etonian who looks like a striped pencil, and a bunch of utter nobodies.

Let Gove wield the killing blow, he can just slipstream out in the murder-peloton.
I did once tell Gove to his face that he should be embarrassed at his shameful pandering to the bigoted during the referendum.
I think the message got through.

Replace the unloved backstop with reentry.
That will get the Remainers on board, which should pass the bill
There are benefits for the ERG too. Why? Because we know membership of the EU can be terminated. In that scenario we could still leave with no deal.
