Hypothetically speaking; If Corbyn is informed he has the numbers, he'll call one. The only thing he wants is a GE.
The Tory’s will split and never be in government again . The brexit party will become the home of many tories now and will bring disaffected labour leavers with it too. TM has torched her own party tonight to do a deal with a terrorist sympathising Marxist
No - TM has put the ERG back in their box and hopefully seen the UKIP infiltrators resign on mass
No most Tory members want no deal it over soft brexit . Your party is screwed after tonight. You will lose the next GE with sleeper agent Theresa at the helm , how she can do a deal with a Marxist like corbyn is beyond belief . Maggie would never have taken us here
But people tried to wave it away. It was always about NI. May could never be the PM who destabilised Ireland.
My sense is that May has more than a shred of decency and has finally realised that her country is more important than what’s left of the Tory party.
Yes I think once she got it she did indeed realise the implications. Moreso when dolts like JRM started explaining how little of a problem border checks would be.

You are upset and not thinking this through
A vonc would need to be called by the opposition party and any conservative vonc results in instant loss of the whip and cannot stand as a conservative in the next election
I would expect no conservatives vonc their own government but if so, they are no loss to the party

No it isn't, there is still a very strong Unionist vote in Scotland, the fact No Deal Brexiteers could not care less about the Union and are happy to try and push Scotland over the line to independence and Northern Ireland to a United Ireland does not change the fact that a pragmatic Brexit plus eventual Devomax could secure Scotland's place in the UK

Replace ERG with DUP and that makes some sense. Anything cobbled up with Corbyn is going to threaten the union.
And without the DUP, the Conservatives following defections have only 312 voting MPs, compared to 326 others, so a VONC could pass.
Pretty sad state of affairs when the prime concern is to try and pin the blame on backbenchers - they didn’t run the turd of a GE campaign.
May is the PM - she has failed. Should have been punted before Xmas. We need a new PM to lead the way.
Everyone is responsible for their own choices. May has led poorly, but MPs are still responsible for how they choose to vote. They chose to reject her WA over and over again. Something else was going to be agreed instead. Those who rejected the WA knew that might happen, they were explicitly told it might happen. Their faux surprise is unconvincing.

And without the DUP, the Conservatives following defections have only 312 voting MPs, compared to 326 others, so a VONC could pass.
CU is OK for them, I think. The reason the backstop came about was because the ERG wouldn't accept an all-UK CU while the DUP wouldn't accept a border in the Irish Sea. The backstop is designed to postpone deciding which of those two is going to lose. It's better for the DUP if it gets resolved early, in their favour.

The ERG really did think they could barge their way to a no deal whereas the only transparently obvious thing from day one was that there could not be a no deal.
No way the May 22 one is going to work, it's going to have to go past the EU elections.
When that becomes clear the campaigning for the European elections will get underway and that will kick any decisions on Brexit into the long grass.
I suspect that the 6.1 million people who've signed the Revoke petition may well turn out to vote, realising that it's effectively a referendum on EU membership, even if we don't get a real referendum. So pro-EU parties may do reasonably well, getting >50% of the vote and the UKIP vote share should fall sharply vs. the ~40% they got in 2014.
An awful lot of people are talking about the May-Corbyn Compromise as if it were a done deal already - but all that little address from the podium tonight did was to outline a possible plan of action.
Until said plan yields results, nothing has changed.
Agreed. In fact, it will probably come to nothing.

Maggie also helped create the single market and kept us in the EEC and customs union
But people tried to wave it away. It was always about NI. May could never be the PM who destabilised Ireland.
Or lost Scotland
How come it was so obvious to us? You had better stand for the party as a sensible candidate vs what we have now.
The interesting thing is that she knew all of this in 2016, but still chose to test hard Brexit to destruction.
Are you happy brexit is now going to happen William? Relieved? Where does your fight go from here?
Brexit going to happen? What makes you think that?
Mays deal + CU plus confirmatory ref is still brexit isn’t it?
May's deal + CU is a long way from being a done deal, and a confirmatory ref would mean a strong chance we vote Remain.
Confirmatory ref won’t have remain on it. It’s a confirmatory ref like 75. Do you back Tess and Jez lovebird deal y/n
Don't be naive. In any referendum the 'no' option would mean revocation.
This has been the problem for weeks now, if on yes side of pv or no side, whenever referendum was mentioned people thought of what they wanted to think of.
There’s a thousand ways to ref this. The most sensible one once it passes the commons is do you back it yes/no. Simple as that.
Just like 75, do you accept Labours renegotiation on terms of entry. All no meant back in 75 was tweak it again, maybe back to people again. Or maybe not, don’t have to once through Parliament. Heath didn’t bother.
That’s a confirmatory vote
What, when you heard corbyn talking about one you thought it was something different did you?

Nah sorry. The reason we are hearing so much from backbenchers of both sides is the huge gaping vacuums at the top of both parties. The leaders have left the stage and are cowering at the back.

Thatcher was a long time ago, it is time to stop living in the past. I don't give a crap what Margaret Thatcher would have done, I care about what parliament now, politicians now, can and will do. Might as well tell me what Pitt the Younger or Clemet Attlee would do for all it matters.

Oh give it a damned rest, Scotland is already gone. NI too. The trends have been going on with the tacit support of Westminster for years. To trying to blackmail people with it now is beyond a joke.
P.S, not sure what this has to do with Corbyn wanting a GE?

Oddly, pro-EU parties won two thirds of the vote in 2014, a point which was stressed repeatedly by UKIP's opponents, at the time.

It’s a good counter factual we will never know the answer to. If she were around now would she have joined the filthy 14 in cabinet today?
Much like Henry VIII getting praise from pope for being a good catholic, Maggie was good European in 70s and 80s. But it’s all moved on now, a different era.

Provided Corbyn makes a similar commitment. Obviously if he refused he would have to take responsibility for the consequences. If he agrees, both the main parties will be committed to implementing the decision that comes out of the indicative votes.

So you keep saying, ignoring the fact that if the ERG and fellow travellers had not teamed up with Corbyn, trashed the possibility of an orderly Brexit, given cover to hard-core Remainers to vote against the deal, and left us at the mercy of an utterly disastrous crash-out in direct contradiction of everything the Leave campaigns promised, we'd have left the EU three days ago.

Replace ERG with DUP and that makes some sense. Anything cobbled up with Corbyn is going to threaten the union.
And without the DUP, the Conservatives following defections have only 312 voting MPs, compared to 326 others, so a VONC could pass.
Anything that is not No Deal reduces the threat to the Union
Wrong, the threat comes from the backstop within May's WA and variants which would still be based on the WA. Besides, it is the DUP you need to convince and I suspect they share my view. We can though agree that Revoke is not a threat and I think the DUP would agree with that too, which is why there is I think the prospect of them pulling the plug in a VONC if faced with the prospect of a WA variant eventually passing.

Hang on, I thought you were just saying that a 'hundred plus tories' would side with the Marxist Corbyn against her. Are you invoking Maggie's ghost on their side?
Maggie wouldn’t have done a deal with such as corbyn . And she would have stood up to the EU unlike TM. She has just told half of her party to FO . That does not bode well for her or her party.
Maggie also helped create the single market
She didn’t advocate unlimited immigration or an unelected European superstate
The erg may as well pull the plug on the government they have nothing to lose . VONC and general election . If corbyn wins the tories will have a new leader who can campaign on real brexit platform
Replace ERG with DUP and that makes some sense. Anything cobbled up with Corbyn is going to threaten the union.
And without the DUP, the Conservatives following defections have only 312 voting MPs, compared to 326 others, so a VONC could pass.
Anything that is not No Deal reduces the threat to the Union
Wrong, the threat comes from the backstop within May's WA and variants which would still be based on the WA. Besides, it is the DUP you need to convince and I suspect they share my view. We can though agree that Revoke is not a threat and I think the DUP would agree with that too, which is why there is I think the prospect of them pulling the plug in a VONC if faced with the prospect of a WA variant eventually passing.
Suspect the DUP will use threat of VONC to see off PM May rather than a GE. At first anyway.

At which point in her 11 years did she question the principle of free movement? How can you have the "full benefit of a single large market" if you face restrictions on where you can work?
But people tried to wave it away. It was always about NI. May could never be the PM who destabilised Ireland.
Or lost Scotland
How come it was so obvious to us? You had better stand for the party as a sensible candidate vs what we have now.
The interesting thing is that she knew all of this in 2016, but still chose to test hard Brexit to destruction.
Are you happy brexit is now going to happen William? Relieved? Where does your fight go from here?
Brexit going to happen? What makes you think that?
Mays deal + CU plus confirmatory ref is still brexit isn’t it?
May's deal + CU is a long way from being a done deal, and a confirmatory ref would mean a strong chance we vote Remain.
Confirmatory ref won’t have remain on it. It’s a confirmatory ref like 75. Do you back Tess and Jez lovebird deal y/n
Don't be naive. In any referendum the 'no' option would mean revocation.
This has been
There’s a thousand ways to ref this. The most sensible one once it passes the commons is do you back it yes/no. Simple as that.
Just like 75, do you accept Labours renegotiation on terms of entry. All no meant back in 75 was tweak it again, maybe back to people again. Or maybe not, don’t have to once through Parliament. Heath didn’t bother.
That’s a confirmatory vote
What, when you heard corbyn talking about one you thought it was something different did you?
Bottom line, ERG spitting teeth. blukip cutting up their cards leaving the party in droves. But the great remain dream also died tonight.
I don't think Remain died tonight. If the outcome is that a very soft Brexit gets put up against Remain in a referendum, with Labour, Lib Dems, TIG, SNP et al campaigning for Remain, I imagine that lots of Brexit supporters would not bother to vote, and Remain would win.
It would be a different matter, I think, if the Conservative and Labour frontbenchers struck a deal, and were both committed to campaign in favour of it in a referendum. In that case, voting for the deal would seem the sensible option.

But TM has just betrayed her promises on brexit , she has disregarded the views of the Tory membership and over half her MPs and now wants a labour style brexit , she is pathetic
No wonder you are disappointed if you cannot differentiate between the WA, the PD, and whatever deal we eventually might have ended up with.

Perhaps if she hadn’t tied us into a backstop and refused to deal with the EU until they were prepared to talk future trade then the ERG could have supported her. Perhaps if she had listened to her brexit secretary and gone Canada plus we may have had a deal by now .

Perhaps. But all the evidence suggests otherwise, and even if it didn't, the fact still remains that the ERG teamed up with Corbyn to torpedo Brexit in the lobbies.

Bruges Speech?
Nothing against free movement in that speech, but a lot in favour of freedom.
The aim of a Europe open to enterprise is the moving force behind the creation of the Single European Market in 1992. By getting rid of barriers, by making it possible for companies to operate on a European scale, we can best compete with the United States, Japan and other new economic powers emerging in Asia and elsewhere.
And that means action to free markets, action to widen choice, action to reduce government intervention.
The erg may as well pull the plug on the government they have nothing to lose . VONC and general election . If corbyn wins the tories will have a new leader who can campaign on real brexit platform
Can you explain how the ERG call a vonc
Hundred plus tories side with opposition
You are upset and not thinking this through
A vonc would need to be called by the opposition party and any conservative vonc results in instant loss of the whip and cannot stand as a conservative in the next election
I would expect no conservatives vonc their own government but if so, they are no loss to the party
We don't have a majority - we could lose a VONC with every Tory voting with the Govt...
There are also 4 fewer Tory MPs than there were 2 months ago.
Although Boles will probably make an emotional speech tomorrow recanting his emotional speech of yesterday.

Actually you have done me a favour. To bed.

There are sensible technological alternatives to the backstop. It has been used as a political lever by the EU and TM to give us BINO

There are fewer Labour MPs as well. You can't count on the various independents voting with Corbyn against the government. They'll do what they think is in their interests (or their view of the country's interests, which is much the same thing).
So once the Tories have got Jezza to get them out of the shit May's got them into what on Earth are they going to say about Jezza in a general election?
How can they attack him for being "dangerous" a "risk to the economy" a "danger to the Union" etc etc when it's Jezza who has literally saved the country from the cliff edge the Tories themselves took us towards...
At an instant every single Tory attack line against Jezza is torn up.

May is the PM - she has failed. Should have been punted before Xmas. We need a new PM to lead the way.
And without the DUP, the Conservatives following defections have only 312 voting MPs, compared to 326 others, so a VONC could pass.
It was conceived by people for whom blaming others is a religion. And now the revolution consumes itself.

What, when you heard corbyn talking about one you thought it was something different did you?
Result: General Election
Are you out of your mind?
Your combination of requests is not negotiable. You need to go back to the country.
Despite not wanting a GE it seems I am so unicorny myself it is the only option
I thought one or two in the cabinet had some gumption but apparently not.
Leave or remain we have a shoddy set of leaders and the country will never maximise potential whilst they meddle and fiddle on the minutiae.
Mind you, setting this against the Provisional ERG, who are all turned up to eleventy stupid.
P.S, not sure what this has to do with Corbyn wanting a GE?
May being crap does not take away an MPs responsibility, even if she is crapper than they are. That's infantilising them.
Much like Henry VIII getting praise from pope for being a good catholic, Maggie was good European in 70s and 80s. But it’s all moved on now, a different era.
Does the politician shapeth the era, or the era the politician?
It’s even more shocking in hindsight that Con MPs voted to keep her on - what a staggering lack of judgement.
What has changed is that May has conceded that the Government would then commit to backing whatever option a Remainer-dominated house carries. And that is very significant.
Shot their load prematurely.
We have:-
1. The Incompetents: Williamson, Fox, Grayling, Wright
2. The Liars: Mordaunt, Leadsom
3. The Ambitious: Hunt, Javid, Truss
4. The Who The Hell Are They?: Evans, Cairns
5. The Ones Who Look Like Posh Hotel Managers: Brokenshire, Lewis, Barclay
Strange how first hand experience of the working of EU institutions often causes people to change their mind.
It would be a different matter, I think, if the Conservative and Labour frontbenchers struck a deal, and were both committed to campaign in favour of it in a referendum. In that case, voting for the deal would seem the sensible option.
