I presume the intention is the opposite of a Khrushchev
Are we to assume a Khrushchev-esque leopard shoe banging speech from Mrs May at the 1922 Committee?
It was of course MacMillan making the speech at the UK when Khrushchev as a spectator banged his shoe on the desk. MacMillan calmly asked for a translation - brilliant and very British.
The key thing that has changed in my view with Theresa May pulling the vote on the deal is that it shows she does not want to pivot from the deal to another position.
If she was prepared to pivot to a referendum, or whatever, then she would have held the vote, lost it and then either pivoted or waited for the Commons to tell her exactly how to pivot. Instead she delayed the vote. The purpose of delaying the vote is to use the pressure of time, and the evidence that the EU really are wedded to the backstop, to convince doubters to back the deal.
This means that anyone who wants neither the deal, or no deal, has to change the identity of the Prime Minister to an individual who is opposed to both those outcomes. Good luck with that!
That is my view too. She will seek to force a binary choice between leave with the deal or leave without one. I am assuming that the deal will win that contest.
But perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps we leave with no deal. But if that is likely why would the ERG be wanting rid of her?
I agree. The party line is to oppose and that will not change.
But do you not think that if it goes to the wire and if they see that article 50 extension and 2nd ref is not happening, so the choice is leave 29/3 with TMs deal or leave 29/3 with no deal, then in that scenario there will be Labour MPs who are willing to go against the leadership?
No, because of the ECJ ruling, May can revoke A50 right up until the 28th March.
May has to CHOOSE to press that No Deal button.
No, all she has to do is wait. The no deal "button" was pushed 21 months ago, it's the override switch that would need to be flipped now.
Yes. We already agreed this afternoon that a piece of bacon rind I took out of my kicthen sink's drain is the next DexEU SoS. Cyclefree and I drew up the Cabinet positions earlier and they are upthread.
There is still some debate about the 18 goldfish however, but Charles is looking into the fish tank....
The Cat is now back, a bit spaced out but otherwise OK and looking forward to running the country once he has had his special post-op dinner and a good sleep.
I too am looking forward to managing his PM's salary since there is an enormous hole in my savings caused by the vet's bill.
I’m not sure I’d give May half the undeclared MPs. There must surely be a greater propensity to keep shtum among those opposed?
If most of them are against and a few more are lying, she’ll be badly holed at best.
The Sky News count of declarations of support stands at 171. The total number of eligible voters is now 317, with two suspended MPs having had the whip restored. That means the winning post is 159.
One would've thought that most of the undeclared are against May and some of the supporters will be lying as well, so the actual result could well be close. But this is all just complete guesswork, of course. We'll obviously know better in a few hours' time.
Seems like a PB consensus is emerging. May will probably win, but it's gonna be a lot closer than her inveterate groupies in the BBC are currently busily ramping.
Matt Singh's spreadsheet is more encouraging for her. IMO, she'll get past 200.
He's done an excellent job with the spreadsheet, but it does rely on an awful lot of assumptions about how some of the MPs will vote.
Just because I think there's a lot of snivelling dishonest fuckfaces in the parliamentary party who have no compunction about professing their support and admiration publicly and then turning on her immediately in private.
Scotland's finance secretary has said he will not pass on a tax break for higher earners that was announced by the Chancellor in his UK budget.
The Conservatives claimed that higher earners were "being punished in the SNP's Scotland," with people earning £50,000 in Scotland paying about £1,500 more a year than their counterparts south of the border.
The Tories also said people earning £40,000 in Scotland will be £130 a year worse off than their equivalents elsewhere in the UK, increasing to a gap of nearly £500 a year for those on £45,000.

Under the ECJ ruling May needs a vote in parliament (or similar) to revoke A50.
Still quite a long way below the numbers for the previous decade though.
Interestingly, there has just been one of the biggest gaps between homicides in a long time: there was a homicide on 24 November, and then another today. When was the last time there were 19 days between homicides?
(Knives, knives, knives.)
Also, these numbers need to be calibrated to the number of people in London. Otherwise, they're meaningless.
I'm struggling to say for sure where it ends up (I may also be transferring my own stubbornness) but in terms of Labour you aren't going to get big numbers without the party going for it IMO. You could pick of a few from Labour in a close run thing. Without significant numbers of no dealers backing the deal on the Tory benches suddenly I can't see Labour providing the kind of numbers needed.
I guess you have the Anti May's dealers in the Tories as holding mostly and May still needing over 100 votes from other parties for it to progress?
That does seem insurmountable. I think my outcome (deal passes) relies on Mrs May being prepared to leave with no deal if necessary rather than cave in to the remain side. If I have that wrong then my outcome is wrong. And come to think of it perhaps I do have it wrong because if the ERG shared it they would not be trying to ditch her. Then again if the ERG are as thick as reputed then the fact that I disagree with them on this means that I am most probably right. Hall of mirrors it really is.
Incidentally, my current guess for votes against May is 120.
With her deal facing certain defeat, the backstop unlikely to change enough to satisfy the DUP who will therefore side with Labour in a VNOC, that should be enough to for e her out. Hope so.

Under 200 and things look ropey for her. Let's see what sweeties she promises her backbenchers not to do the dirty.

I think the betting markets are being driven by the news, which are being driven by the statements of support.
Let's say May gets her Brexit through and her polling is really high with the general public for navigating us through these tricky waters, does she still go?
The no-deal contingency planning is going to be stepping up a gear both in Whitehall and in in Brussels before Christmas. That will be the dominant mood music next week.
Quandary over where to set the ' election night ' party refreshments and decor. It's partly that I expect to be disappointed by the result and partly I've used this week's alcohol budget. I've gone with a light buffet , no booze and about half the normal number of candles. I thought you should share my pain.
I reckon the number of votes against May will be about 90. I also reckon that even if she only wins by 1 vote, she won't resign until after Brexit Day at the earliest, unless she's overtaken by events.
It's reported that she's guaranteeing that she'll step down before the next election. Unfortunately for her and the Tories, there is of course a scenario whereby a general election is forced within the next few months. So she may end up leading her party into an election anyway.

I understand when the referal returns to the Inner House in Edinburgh the applicants are going to ask the Scottish Courts to rule on what would need to happen to revoke A50 at our end. Ie us it a prerogative power or does it need primary legislation. The legal arguments are a bit different to invocation and doubtless it will end up in the Supreme Court. Though any government could just gold plate it with primary legislation anyway in advance of a ruling.

It's going to need primary legislation because of the provisions of the Withdrawal Act.

You are contracdicting yourself. If the deal falls DUP back HMG
You really are desperate to see her gone but it looks like she is not going to oblige

You should tell the DUP that; it’ll be a surprise to them.
Everyone in their right mind should want her out. If she stays a Corbyn Gov is a racing certainty. Maybe that’s what you want but I don’t.
I wonder whether the rebels conceding defeat now may be akin to Farage conceding defeat on the night of the referendum?
Either way I doubt May will make it to the 12 month's from today she's supposedly safe for if she does win.
But in the short term she can certainly tell the ERG to do one. Who knows what she might do do when she no longer has to pander to that bunch of losers. She might even fancy another run through a cornfield. She strikes me as a women who will much enjoy sticking it to the ERG.

52:48 is the magic number
I've asked Our Lady of Lewisham to intercede for a May 52% win 😁
What is the point of sticking with May if you don't support her deal? Everyone who has gone on the record as supporting TM tonight should be required to vote for her deal in the HoC.
Is this also the source for the 'ERG are furious because they were told the vote was on Monday' tweet? I don't believe the 'kill zone' thing until I hear an ERG person say it either. I think we're being manipulated.

You are in denial. If the deal falls the DUP will support HMG. It is only if the deal passes the DUP may vote with labour

Far too many of our elected officials seem to forget they voted on a bill that makes our exit from the EU next March legally binding.
Couple of good articles on this in Spectator a couple of weeks ago - these are the boots on the ground, its the software tracking thats really scary
It is totally open to bribery and corruption. These local busybodies hold your life opportunities in their little black book. And of course there is no record of widespread bribery among local officials in China.
I don't believe Theresa May will pivot to No Brexit. I think she will keep on trying to win support for her deal to the bitter end.
At some point the Remainers will realise that the only way to force a referendum is with a referendum-supporting PM - but if the DUP support HMG that would require Tory MPs to vote against their own party in a confidence vote. Corbyn ensures that won't happen.
So then the only way to avoid no deal is to vote for the PM's deal.
Not at all, there will always be the option of revoking article 50, and if we get into March without agreement on a deal I think Parliament will take that option. Remainers will support it for obvious reasons and opponents of May's deal will support it because they will kid themselves that it's only a temporary pause in the process. But revokation will, in practice, be the end of the story.
Parliament cannot revoke Article 50 on its own. You would need a PM to support the revocation to bring the necessary Bill before the House and then to write the letter to send to Brussels. I don't think May will do that and the Remainers in Parliament cannot install their own PM to do so because Corbyn sits there, irrevocably dividing them.
If Parliament votes to revoke it is inconceivable that a government could ignore that, especially a government as weak as the current one. And I think the various players involved- Bercow, Starmer, Grieve etc - will ensure parliament gets the chance to vote on this.
I'm not so sure. We know that it requires an Act of Parliament. Any old Commons motion well not be enough to compel HMG to act. The Commons can only assert its will in such a situation by voting no confidence in HMG and forming a ministry to act in accordance with the will of the Commons - but Corbyn is a blocker to that.
So we get to mid March, supermarkets warn of imminent food shortages, manufacturing industry is screaming blue murder, the pound is collapsing and the country is on the verge of panic and the government is chartering planes to fly in vital drugs. Parliament says hang on a minute, we can avoid all this by revoking. The government says, no chance mate, were going over the cliff. That would be preposterous, and politically unsustainable.
The government would say vote for this deal which avoids the chaos and abides by the referendum vote in 2016. It's then a political argument as to who receives the most blame.
They'll still be arguing whose fault it is when the Revolutionary Tribunal is tying the ropes around their necks outside the Banqueting House.
