Theresa survives - badly wounded though

[meridian]

Where do you live and who do you vote for which enables you to take such a highfalutin stance?

West London. My MP is Rupa Huq. First time I’ve voted Labour in my life, and mainly because she was one of the few that voted against triggering A50 so early.

It’s notable that she also substantially increased her majority after she did so.

Which turd in a blue rosette do you vote for?

Following the overnight news of how well May's EU visit went, those sending in their letters the other day will have wished they had used 2nd class post. They'd have a better chance of winning the confidence vote today.

So, surprise surprise, no movement by EU on the withdrawal agreement and any further assurances are not legally binding, so only a few undecideds in Parliament may be swayed by May's latest attempt to get them onboard her plan.

Another week lost and no progress made. May as well roll on to March and have the 'my deal or no deal' ultimatum, where DUP, Labour, and the tory rebels play a final Mexican stand off over the future of the UK.

Looks like it all rests on the DUP. They are the blocking force of May's deal and also Labour going for a no confidence vote in the government to try to get elected. Stand firm DUP, they don't like it up em.

Stop voting them in then.

Three countries and a province.

Northern Ireland has never been and never will be a country in its own right.

Hth.

NI is not a province.
Ulster is.
There's a difference.


HTH.

Debatable. Even the government calls NI a country at times.

The countries of the UK - ONS

NI is indeed one of the four constituents countries of the UK, although I think that is more of a convention than a legal definition. It certainly has many of the attributes of a country: legal system; national football team; civil service.
But these things are not always black and white.

The UK consists of 4 countries. 2 countries wish to remain and 2 wish to leave. The referendum was a draw.
