Well - That has thrown a spanner in the works!

Oddly enough - I think that this may make a no deal Brexit next Friday more likely than ever.

All May has to do is to tell the EU that she needs more time to negotiate and they will probably tell her to fuck off.

And that will be that.

Was this the plan all along? They seem to be trying everything they can to push us into the most damaging Brexit possible.

How do they sleep at night.

It's a shot across the bows for politicians who thought they could push a deal through. It shows a huge vote for democracy by Bercow in not succumbing to constant votes on the same but adjusted text too.

I wonder where he stands on the second referendum as the people voted, the government got a deal and the house voted it out in full knowledge of the consequences.

A good point there can be no second referendum now either as that was voted down the other day.

There is one way that May could get her deal voted on again...

If she agrees with an amendment to make acceptance of the deal conditional upon it being put back to the people for approval.

The issue now of course is time...

We are due to leave the EU next Friday and as Friday is not a parliamentary day as such, that means that there are just 7 working days for someone to pull some kind of rabbit out of the hat.

All I have seen today are both Brexit supporting and Remain supporting MP's both sensing that this is a step in the right direction for them.

I've seen it suggested Labour would abstain if the deal came back with a confirmatory referendum attached.

That would clear the path for its approval.

But will May be the one who U-turns on everything she said previously?

Wouldn't be the first time, certainly.

She can close and reopen Parliament after a few days then submit her deal again as well.

Yep. This has been the most sensible solution for months.

A referendum on the transition agreement will also allow for an extension to Article 50.

Of course, that would be a dwferendum on going back to how we were or an unspecified period of even more negotiations on the final agreement...

I think you'll find that nobody has any idea who voted to leave with no deal. That was never pitched as a realistic possibility.

There are many tenable solutions I clouding May's deal which is to ultimately leave the EU.

Actually, I have just read that the EU is trying to help May out by suggesting that a change to the departure date to 01st July might be enough to suggest that there is meaningful change and allow her to get it through for a vote next week.

Then that would come down to Bercow to decide if just a date change constituted a substantial difference.

Really?

How does it benefit farming and manufacturing?

The WTO trading rules are, by definition, the worst trading terms available in the world.

If we unilaterally lower our tariffs as currently proposed, what have we to bargain with in the future?

Noam Chomsky’s summary of the WTO...

1. A “new tool” for far-reaching US intervention into the internal affairs of others;

2. The takeover of a crucial sector of foreign economies by US-based corporations;

3. Benefits for business sectors and the wealthy;

4. Shifting of costs to the general population;

5. New and potentially powerful weapons against the threat of democracy.

No. The facts have materially changed.

The leave promises are manifestly undeliverable.

A deal has been negotiated that is substantially different to anything suggested in the referendum.

The voter base has changed.

Would the population be wrong to change it's mind?

That's not actually true is it?

Things can get better or worse.

The results so far indicate that the latter is currently more likely.

You're logic is that because there hasn't been a disaster everything is must improve for some unspecified reason

Indeed OP, I think John Bercow's intervention today makes a No Deal brexit almost a dead cert.

If the PM asks the EU for an extension to A50, she will be required to provide a sufficient reason.

The 'deal' is deader than the deadest thing you can think of, so I would suspect that the only conditions the EU would now consider to extending would be a 2nd referendum or a general election - neither of which I think would be something she would begin to consider.

The alternative would be to cancel brexit altogether, but that doesn't require an extension but complete revocation of a50.

Can't see any MP realistically considering this as an option if they have any hope of holding on to their seat at the next election

Parliament votes against leaving the EU without a deal one week, then leaves the following week without a deal.

Just putting this out there...

.. if May would have come up a customs union plan from the start, Corbyn would have opposed it as it wouldn't have been a proper Brexit. He would have rallied his voters behind him and you would now be opposing the general idea you are mostly in favour of.

Labour would asking for a second referendum on a customs union plan in favour of a hard brexit, just so there wasn't a Tory Brexit and a deal going through... All the while moaning at what a bad job she's done of it.

Legally Non binding like the referendum result? I think there needs to be some consistency and fairness across the board.

Personally, I hope that we find a middle ground between No Deal and remaining. Oddly, and against every political bone in my body, maybe May's plan is the best thing. Any civilised state would not want to ignore almost half of the population, that's how we got into this mess in the first place. May's deal has enough "leave" and "remain" in it to make everyone upset, so I reckon she must have got it spot on. If you have two children, one vegetarian, one not, it might not be unreasonable to suggest Quorn chicken nuggets for tea. Neither will be happy, but each will have been honoured.

But who do you vote for in protest? Neither party has shown it has a clue what it's doing and the 3rd place Lib Dems are pro-European so no one is voting for them cos they're angry Article 50 was revoked. Or do you think Farage can build a whole party for the next election and not have his core voters split between him and UKIP?

But they can privatise and pretty much deregulate as much as they want (and both Labour and Conservative have done) whether we're in the EU or not.

Sorry but don't buy that as the reason, it simply doesn't stack up.

I know it's tempting to use BREXIT for party political point scoring and, when it's defeated there will be plenty to hit the Tories with, but don't loose focus on what the fight is now. The fight right now is BREXIT and we need the remaining pragmatic Tories on our site.

"Legally Non binding like the referendum result? I think there needs to be some consistency and fairness across the board.

Except that May's deal leaves us with less say and control than we have now. Yes, it's Leave so technically meats the requirements of referendum mandate but it actually has nearly all the perceived disadvantages of being in the EU but without the advantage of having a say in how it's run and the rules we would still have to obey. Ít's is actually almost everything BREXITERS said was wrong with the being in the EU. I personally can't see how anyone who voted for BREXIT to get back sovereignty could ever possibly get behind May's deal and support it. It's actually the biggest transfer of British sovereignty to European control since 1066.

This post could easily have been directed at the Speaker John Bercow (although you went on to talk about May's deal).

John Bercow's actions today have shown he is not consistent and is not fair in his rulings.

Earlier in the year he broke parliamentary precedent when he allowed a vote on an ammendment to an amendment. That broke all previous parliamentary precedent, and Bercow reasoned it away by saying things are always evolving and changing.

Now today he says the deal cannot be brought back for a 3rd vote because it would break parliamentary precedent.

Sorry Johnny boy you can't have it both ways!

He's not consistent and is clearly biased.

But actually he can. And let's face it, it is getting a bit ridiculous to vote 3 times on the same motion without any change at all.

However, if May can come back with a change, let's say the date from 11pm 29 March 2019 to any other date, that would probably be enough to make another 3rd vote on here deal acceptable.

There was a change between the 1st vote on her deal and the 2nd vote. Theresa May got an additional legal add on to the backstop, which lead to the Attorney general Geoffrey Cox changing his legal opinion to say the threat of being trapped in the backstop had been 'reduced'. So as it stands we haven't actually had a vote on the same exact deal yet.

This post could easily have been directed at the Speaker John Bercow (although you went on to talk about May's deal).

John Bercow's actions today have shown he is not consistent and is not fair in his rulings.

Now today he says the deal cannot be brought back for a 3rd vote because it would break parliamentary precedent.

Sorry Johnny boy you can't have it both ways!

He's not consistent and is clearly biased.

But actually he can. And let's face it, it is getting a bit ridiculous to vote 3 times on the same motion without any change at all.

However, if May can come back with a change, let's say the date from 11pm 29 March 2019 to any other date, that would probably be enough to make another 3rd vote on here deal acceptable.

Technically you are correct, which is why the second vote was allowed. But be careful how strongly you argue that a small change makes a second or third vote on an issue acceptable because that's the exact same argument, but a much larger change, is the argument put forward for the People's vote final say.

You can't help yourself when you lie you have to repeat it in another thrwad to try and make it "real" somehow

The Attorney General's legal advice verbatim:

"However, the legal risk remains unchanged that if through no such demonstrable failure of either party, but simply because of intractable differences, that situation does arise, the United Kingdom would have, at least while the fundamental circumstances remained the same, no internationally lawful means of exiting the Protocol’s arrangements, save by agreement."

What part of "the legal risk remains unchanged" means that the threat of being trapped in the backstop had been 'reduced'?

It's good that we respect the laws and rules of a time honoured institution of government, especially as sovereignty has been shown as so important to millions of citizens. The voting was postponed from December and it's had huge volumes of time to be scheduled, amended etc, whilst the government has always known the rules governing limits as well as Article 50. Incompetent.

They have wasted the time and its their job to secure a deal that is now worthy of voting, in an agreed timeframe. May could have wanted to just get her deal voted through due to pressure on the house as she'd left no choice - it's right that this morally bankrupt option is now gone.

Clueless bunch of creatures

Bercow is correct not to allow a 3rd meaningful vote ( I was a little surprised he allowed the 2nd ) , might be worth pointing out that the people angry with Bercow for not allowing a 3rd ( or 4th) vote are the very same people who say the country is not allowed a 2nd referendum following the result of the non binding 1st referendum

May is deliberately trying to run down the clock and bounce MPs into making a poor decision under pressure.

The government has deliberately wasted Parliamentary time to contrive this situation.

Bercow is proving himself to be independent - and well done for that.

If anyone has reason to be annoyed, it ought to be about a Government that has had almost three years to sort this out, yet with ten days to go keeps coming back with the same scrap of paper because it has run out of ideas.

The Labour party isn't getting what it voted for though is it?

The leadership is dancing on the head of a pin trying to play both remain and leave whilst trying to get to a general election.

That's perfectly understandable but you can't pretend that this is nothing but a cynical political calculation.

I think remainers who want a 2nd referendum have severely damaged their case because of hypocritical Tiggers (the independent group) lead by some of the main voices for a People's Vote (Chukka Umunna and Anna Soubry, etc), who keep calling for a 2nd referendum but still refuse to give their constituents a 2nd vote in by elections.

As with the other thread, you haven't given the full quote on Geoffrey Cox's altered legal advice which changed after the first vote after Theresa May obtained additional legal add to the backstop from the EU. There was a section in attorney general Geoffrey Cox's paper which said the threat of being trapped in the backstop had been "reduced".

Record keeps playing.

UKIP MEPs are still in post.

Winston Churchill remained in post when he crossed the floor (twice) and no the rules were not different then.

I think they should call by-election but they don't have to. They are leveraging their power just as the DUP are.

As it happens many Brexiteers (mainly those in the ERG) appear to be very happy with John Bercow's decision yesterday.

Just as Chamberlain tried to appease Hitler, Theresa May is trying to appease the EU.

Just as the UK under new leadership with Winston Churchill eventually ended up telling Hitler to fuck off, the UK should be telling the EU under new leadership to fuck off. Time for Theresa May to go.

Does not matter what idiots want

Right in the line with other Brexiteers' despicable Nazi -EU analogies.

You're a very confusing man. So you compare the EU that you hate for no discernable reason, to Hitler (who, going on your track record of far right politicians and public figure you worship, maybe you like?).

You're bizarre to the extreme. I don't know if you are just really confused or if you're actually sane but get some kind of pleasure in putting on this Mr Brexit character to parody brexiteers by deliberately misunderstanding what's going on in the news.

The cat metaphor is great.

Did you notice that Nathalie Loiseau, the European affairs minister for France, has called her cat Brexit?

“He wakes up miaowing like mad because he wants to be let out. As soon as I open the door, he stands in the middle, unsure whether he wants to go out or not. When I put him out, he gives me an evil look.”

Because leaving having failed to complete preparations for a departure on 29/3 and having failed to pass any of the required legislation is incredibly sensible?

So, having had a 1000 days to deliver the UK’s exit from the EU, the Conservative Party has succeeded only in handing the decision back to 27 other member states of the EU.

They will decide if the UK leaves on March 29 or not.

Take back control? The UK is demonstrating it is in incapable of doing so.

THE Speaker of the House has clarified that he only smirked when cancelling a third Brexit vote yesterday because it was so incredibly funny.

John Bercow admitted that he spent the whole weekend, during which senior Tories pontificated about who would change sides and offered the DUP a Range Rover Evoque each, absolutely weak with laughter but had managed to calm it down.

He continued: “This is why it had to be a surprise statement. If Theresa had been there on the front bench there’s no way I could have got through it without breaking down.

“Just seeing Leadsom in her poisonous little fury had me biting the inside of my cheek hard. The face on her.

“I basically got a bunch of self-righteous will-of-the-people arseholes all standing on the one trapdoor, then pulled a wooden lever installed in 1604 they’d all forgotten about.

“Jacob Rees-Mogg got it. He was absolutely pissing his sides afterwards. He’s a good lad.”

Bercow added: “Apparently now they’re going to restart parliament. Get the Queen to do an early speech. This is comedy gold.”
