Today it was confirmed I don't have stomach cancer and yet the events in Westminster make me really sad.
Well done Theresa and Parliament.
It's an amazing feeling, isn't it? I had all the symptoms , had the two week urgent referral, had a cameras inserted both ends (not the same camera!) and then found out I had a moderately serious hiatus hernia and probable irritable bowel syndrome. Doctor told me to cut out my 3 main food groups-Alcohol, caffeine and chocolate. The wagon often hits a bumpy patch...
Endoscopy is an interesting experience! I too have been on the wrong end...
It’s absolutely vital that children do grow up understanding the society they live in and they grow up tolerant, seeking equality and respecting differences… I think it is the case that you have to allow parents to choose to withdraw their children up to a certain age, but at the same time in order to have an equal society there comes a point where children do need to understand the social norms around them
As a parent I cannot fault that approach. This is yet more partisan point scoring when there are better things to be doing.
Why should people criticise her for saying what Birmingham's politicians think?
As angry as I am at May for being such a poor leader (even recognising the difficulty of corralling the idiotic factions of her party), I would be just asfurious at anyone who would back her deal but they are either embarrassed to change direction because of their own past comments, or refuse to do so in a huff because of her statements and tone deafness. Those are stupid reasons to refuse to back the deal, if otherwise they are among those who do fear no deal (rather than the bulk who just pretend they fear it) enough that, forced choice, they would back the deal.
Anger at options being closed down unreasonably is all very well and good, but if they really have been closed down you have to make a choice from the remaining options, not just moan that you wish the other options were still on the table.

I was asked if I wanted to watch on screen - I politely declined.....
Does anyone actually think May will bring her proposal for a vote on Monday? If it is a do or die situation those who have held their bladders until now won't wet themselves Sunday night and suddenly decide they need to back the deal. She'll pull it, which will only embolden the no dealer holdouts further - she'll be losing their votes as they see the chances of stopping Brexit receding, without gaining any further votes.
As much as I'd wish for this to be over with end of next week, I see Parliament finally having had enough of May.
Monday Letwin and Cooper will try and force through another amendment along with Boles, it is possible the Commons could an end the political declaration to aim for a Single Market and Customs Union BINO end point and then vote through the Withdrawal Agreement on that basis
What would Letwin/Cooper be an amendment to? I severely doubt May will bring forward her deal, so I'm unclear procedurally what their proposal would be attached to, of if it can standalone.
If and when May brings her Deal through it would amend the political declaration to Single Market and Customs Union BINO then if that passes the Commons could vote through the Withdrawal Agreement even with the ERG, the DUP and some diehard Remainers still opposed. May will bring her Deal forward to the vote next week, the question is just when
CS when you get into one of these discussions you remind me of Plato. You are filtering out all the evidence and picking what suits you no matter how self deluding it looks, but believe others are doing the same and you are not. And you don't need to cos you have solid arguments, but getting into an argument over the numbers in a crowd is pointless and just leads others to bait you. All that matters was it was enormous. Whether that matters or not is debatable, but trying to argue with people it was smaller than it looks, makes you look silly. Does Trump and his crowd estimates come to mind at all?
Trump inflated his crowd estimates.
Just like People’s Vote March organisers.
You missed the whole point of that post didn't you?
No.
Er you did. And that is the point. If you had understood it you wouldn't have given that reply. The fact that one example is the inverse of the other is not relevant to the point being made.
Ask yourself the question why others on here bait you sometimes and under what circumstances, but don't bait others with similar views. It is not the views they are baiting you about. They respect you for those. They will argue with you about them and it may get heated, but they for instance won't call you a troll for expressing your opinions. Why do you think you were called a troll?
I have agreed with you and disagreed with you on topics, but every so often like the crowd numbers you lose it and become completely irrational on something that really doesn't matter.

This fits with what I mentioned earlier ; these speeches are just about reassuring both her core vote and herself, and also using the two as a Trumpian front against the legislature. It's not likely to work for her.
Some rather nasty and unpleasant comments on here tonight.
FWIW my decidedly apolitical wife has just, in amongst feeding the baby, watched her statement on the nine o’clock news.
She expressed her anger at the faffing of the MPs, her admiration of Theresa May's tenacity and poured scorn on those who constantly criticise her who couldn’t begin to do her job, or even a small part of it.
Make of that what you will.
Well my wife - who has always worked in public or third sector- was railing against Tusk. She couldn’t believe what he had said, and she has before expressed sympathy for May. Whilst I think May has had the wrong approach, I am not sure that given the circumstances - the various options and factions that support them and normal party politics carrying on as would be expected - that there is a feasible way through it. I’ve seen a lot of tweets from her political opponents tonight and reading them I am thinking is there anything she could have done high would have met their approval

It would have to be an amendment to MV3. But it needs Parliamentary time afterwards for MPs to do their stuff. Available time is fast running out.
She seemed to be entirely pinning her hopes on voters shaming their MPs into supporting her. It might have some effect.
But any rational observer can see that the WA won't get past parliament. It looks now like her govt will collapse - this was always likely in the end, since many ministers are so adamantly against No Deal. So my money now is there being a general election before we Brexit. (May can only avoid this, I think, by either bribing Labour somehow or agreeing to a 2nd referendum, but she's adamantly against one.)
I want to use a word to describe Theresa May that is highly abusive to both her and a whole load of other people. So I won't. I do however hope that MPs who she has chosen to abuse today at the same time as demanding those same MPsPs vote for her shitey deal tell her to go fuck herself
The last leader who actively promoted hostility to parliament was probably Charles I. It did not end well for him.
Yet his son was put back on the throne 11 years later...
Showing your republican tendencies there - he succeeded to the throne immediately, it just took 11 years before the traitors were dealt with
No, unless you accept the divine right. Britain disposed of its monarchy, he didn't succeed until invited
It was a joke. But of course serious to them in the day, and one could easily make a legal case about the legitimacy of any ordinances passed by a parliament forcibly culled by the military, and its successors! (again, I'm only joking)

How can you vote through an agreement if you change it and the other side refuses to accept it? Cat bell mice.
If May loses MV3 surely she *has* to go at that point, regardless of whether it's no deal or a long extension.
VONC her tommorow while she is in Brussels.
VONC = No deal Brexit, I reckon.
This is going down to the wire . If she delays the vote until next Thursday if it falls we no deal brexit on Friday. That should concentrate minds . TSE good to hear your okay , it’s scary when you get symptoms like that and such a relief when it’s not the big C. BTW what chance now do you reckon for a no deal brexit ?

It would not change the text of the Agreement at all, just the political declaration of the future relationship, on that basis I think the Agreement would pass
"She expressed her anger at the faffing of the MPs, her admiration of Theresa May's tenacity and poured scorn on those who constantly criticise her who couldn’t begin to do her job, or even a small part of it."
My wife said something similar before Mrs May's speech and she's a LD and Remain voter. I thought at first, it was a fellow-woman thing, but I've heard it from a few men around here too.
Even so, my wife would probably vote Remain again in a second referendum even while expressing disquiet at the fact we were having a second referendum Although she'd never vote Tory, she does have some respect for Mrs May. It's odd, but common.

Testify.
I'd sooner eat a pizza with pineapple than have another endoscopy.
I had one many years ago, but was allowed general aesthetic. Slept through the whole thing.
Doubt they are allowed to do that these days.
You get the choice of sedation or not. Sedation means you have to hang around for hours afterwards in recovery. I have had two and didn't bother either time (they told me about two thirds of people don't have it); it is distinctly unpleasant but doesn't last very long. Snipping for the biopsies isn't nice.

We leave next friday without a deal. How is that going to change
Certainly not one preparing to switch sides. I really don't think more than a handful were ever serious about doing so, they just need to make the right noises to avoid unnecessarily upsetting the larger leave votes in the constituencies.
How can parliament not vote to try to seize control of the process now? Labour votes like Nandy's are essential for the deal and clearly she is not on board, so why has parliament even allowed this to continue? Very peculiar - I really did not get why the government won the votes last week.
Is he really a bad guy? Given the development of Islam since the Bosnian war, I wonder if the Serbs were right, albeit brutal. They knew the enemy.
Not a post which will age well. It's not easy to convict somebody of such crimes, I really don't think it's in any way fair to suggest 'oh was it really that bad being so brutal because of things that have happened since then?'

Shooting yourself in the foot comes to mind. We need a deal to stop no deal next friday

I had one last year and was given the choice but told I wouldn't be allowed to drive home afterwards, so that made the decision for me. I was too busy being 'ill' to watch the video!
I'm looking at the comments tonight: apparently May has given a speech and MPs are upset. Did she tell them that they were rubbish and that they should be ashamed of themselves? If so they need to hear it. They were given a great responsibility and did not discharge it very well
Some rather ungentlemanly and unparliamentary language on here tonight. It's a good thing Mrs Garner is not present. It's rather dispiriting to hear MP's indicating that they'll vote on their hurt feelings about the PM's blunt words rather than on the issues.

The point is they've heard that from her before, and however true it is, and I too think they should be even as she should be, it doesn't help her get any votes for her proposals, and doesn't help the Commons resolve anything.

May sinks to new lows and you’re still backing her?
Note MV3 is already "Tuesday or Wednesday". But also the potential lifeline of a longer extension - if MPs get the chance to vote on this offer it will clearly trump no deal.
I've only just listened to the speech - the one that many MPs seem to think is so terrible.
What planet do they live on? Don't they listen to what ordinary people are saying. I may be in a Northern echo chamber but there's real hate here for MPs. The expenses scandal was nothing compared to this.
Can't parliament figure out a way to shortcut things to tomorrow and Friday? I'm busy all day Monday and would like to be able to follow along as they continue to act like idiots.
The Agreement is the only Deal on the table, by refusing to vote for it Streeting and Nandy will be directly responsible for every one of their constituents jobs lost as a result of a No Deal Brexit
If parliament does not remove her then they do not agree she is being hostile toward them.
MPs opposed to Theresa May have failed in their constitutional duty to remove her and install a PM they can support (hint: not Jeremy Corbyn either). They've not had the willingness to do the dirty work, hence voting for insipid amendments supposedly ruling out no deal, but not for anything that would actually ensure that no deal doesn't happen.
Yes, Theresa May is awful, but she's only still PM because MPs have allowed her to be PM. That reflects poorly on them.
I'm looking at the comments tonight: apparently May has given a speech and MPs are upset. Did she tell them that they were rubbish and that they should be ashamed of themselves? If so they need to hear it. They were given a great responsibility and did not discharge it very well
The ministers who resign will give us a good indication of which way May is leaning. If it's Rudd/Gauke then a 'no deal' Brexit is favourite; if it's Leadsom/Mordaunt then revoke might be on the cards.

I think she is coming out fighting and the public will respect her for that . Everyone I speak to is sick of parliament trying to block brexit . She is pitching herself on the side of the people , parliament is on the side if the EU now trying to scupper brexit, she will carry out the instruction of the referendum deal or no deal . In the country she will find sympathy , who cares if it upsets the mps

I agree - but May is significantly responsible, yet she thinks she can rise above it all and dump on the others.

I'm not an MP (and have generally been a supporter of her). And I think it was terrible
That sort of comment really surprises me, because I feel like it has been broadly accepted wisdom for the better part of a year, or at least a very high possibility, that she would have been gone from Brexit day onwards in any case. Things have proceeded in an even more chaotic and terrible fashion since then, and May done an even worse job than could have been predicted (and parliament just as obstructive and unhelpful in clarifying what they will do rather than what they will not), but it seems to me to be strange to act like May going very soon would be some shocking end to her premiership.

I had both ends done in one afternoon, without sedative. My youngest lad has just had the same very recently. He was worried about it, but I convinced him it was something to get done asap, and better to just get it out of the way so we can find out what is wrong and then we can deal with it. He's had the all clear, but that has lead to frustrations, as the Docs can't find anything wrong with him to pin his symptoms on so they've gone with IBS for him as well.
This is going down to the wire . If she delays the vote until next Thursday if it falls we no deal brexit on Friday. That should concentrate minds . TSE good to hear your okay , it’s scary when you get symptoms like that and such a relief when it’s not the big C. BTW what chance now do you reckon for a no deal brexit ?
The European Parliament have to ratify the deal. Their last meeting day before the 29th is the 28th. The longer you delay the greater an accidental no-deal Brexit on the 29th.

The EU have already told her to sod off, she's still going on about 30th of June as if she's still in control, when she's been told to be out by May 23rd.
She seems to have completely lost control of the situation - if not actually her grip on reality at this point - and her utter inflexibility risks seeing us crash out to no deal.

Anger at options being closed down unreasonably is all very well and good, but if they really have been closed down you have to make a choice from the remaining options, not just moan that you wish the other options were still on the table.
Can't see HMQ wanting to get involved... Although that's probably what is needed to bang heads together.
Enjoy life. Ignore politics,

She is driving us off the cliff edge...
I I doubt the threat of Radical Islam even crossed his imagination during his quest for genocide.
