So just the Baron amendment being voted on.
Tabled by Tory MP John Baron, it seeks to give the UK the right to terminate the Irish border backstop without having to secure the agreement of the EU.0 -
Gives consent to the deal provided the Withdrawal Agreement is amended so that the UK can terminate the Northern Ireland Protocol unilaterally.Black_Rook said:

May’s speech was fantastic.
Great to see the contempt for Corbyn dripping from her words.
This is her moment. She has done her damndest. One by one she explained why no other option is viable, including any meaningful renegotiation with the EU.
She looked confident to me, even triumphant.
What does she have up her sleeve?0 -
For reference, the Baron amendment says
At end, add “subject to changes being made in the Withdrawal Agreement and in
the Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol so that the UK has the right to terminate the
Protocol without having to secure the agreement of the EU.

I don't see how. It is important, and nothing she says will change that or the outcome. Nothing she says will mitigate that an important vote has been humiliatingly lost. There's enough to actually criticise her about without stuff like that.DavidL said:

It’s easier to be against something. We live in times where we are used to getting exactly what we we want. Repeatedly we have heard that May should have tried to get a consensus, but labour policy is that we need an election and Corbyn to renegotiate - not sure how she could get Labour or SNP (Scotland wants remain) on board.ydoethur said:It's amazing to reflect that after the last few years of hatred and division Theresa May tonight has united the House of Commons and the wider country.
It is disturbing to reflect she has done so by delivering on their instructions, getting an extremely good deal that actually should satisfy most requirements, and the had them all shout that this isn't what they wanted.
What does that say about us as a nation?0 -

The only thing I can think of is that she plans to resign tonight and tell the Remainers that thanks to their posturing, the EU has decided to bring forward our departure date to tomorrow - so we leave with no Deal.
Then having so thoroughly shat all over her enemies so they will never, ever stop smelling of it, she will walk away cackling with laughter.

Disagree. May was nominally appealing to Labour MPs to vote with her for the good of the country but spent her effort on trashing Corbyn. Many Labour MPs are doubtful about Corbyn, nevertheless he's one of them. If May insults Corbyn she insults them too.Gardenwalker said:May’s speech was fantastic.

As I recall, she did invite Corbyn for talks on a way forward, and he publicly emailed her a copy of his manifesto, saying 'If you do this I'll support you.'Nemtynakht said:

Is she one of these too posh to push Hampstead mummies? Also, postponing the date of her C-section seems silly. It's not as if the vote is close. And doesn't it mess the NHS around?

Frankly turning up for an hour to make a speech and vote is hardly hard work.
With my third, I worked up to the Friday and he was born at 6 am on the Monday, on the due date.
Anyway, she's MP for a very Remainy constituency so what the hell is she doing voting against the deal and making no deal more likely?0 -
