    Wonder how many people at the time of the Brexit vote thought they might be caught between no deal and revoke.

    Blackford on Sky. We need a second referendum. Can someone explain the SNP strategy to me, because if they get another ref and win, then all that will happen is the other political parties will say "Another referendum, just like you wanted in the EU ref." I would have thought the SNP would be defending referendums with small majorities to the hilt.

    There is just the crazy thought that they are a pro European party in favour of Remaining?

    Those are not my comments anyway - and I notice that others have beaten me to it in quoting them. It is not so much a matter of agreeing with Corbyn - but rather of being able to empathise with him.

    An interesting question. She needs the votes of MPs, who won't even bother to watch the statement unless they want to pile in with criticism. She is not making some long, persuasive pitch to the public. It's nothing that has not been said before. So other than to remind everyone that as of this evening she is still PM, I'm not sure I understand the point of it either.

    Well I agree with May. Parliament enumerating all of the possible things it doesn't want gets us nowhere, and to be fair that may be the aim of some. It's about time that Parliament got around to saying what it does want.

    I think your last point is the key. These continual statements are just the way she reminds herself and others of her continued presence in the job, position, and continued authority in that nominal sense. That's all it is.

    Ignore that statement. We knew script before hand. Let’s stick to what’s important.

    Absolutely abysmal day for Corbyn and Labour.

    Corbyn dreadful at PMQs and Starmer nearly as bad in the debate he wanted.

    Here’s the thing. The Labour front bench supporting short extension should be challenged. how they or anyone can sort this mess out in just three months if given a chance. A second ref takes at least 5. Does the rest of the PLP and labour membership support the front bench on this? Its an utter sham and ridiculous position. Everyone should challenge it.

    He won’t sit down at same table and breathe same air as Chucka? That’s grown up leadership is it? Stitch up or not he made the wrong decision.

    I think that is the crux of the problem. The answer to this sort of impasse would normally be a GE. But everyone involved in Parliament is afraid of that for their own personal or party reasons. So no one will do anything to force it. Plus of course it would almost guarantee a hard Brexit now.
