Labour to support anti no deal amendment

[stonehenge]

That amendment isn’t in the Brexit bill as far as I can tell. I think it’s the finance bill they were voting on.
I may have that wrong but as far as I’m aware his amendment was passed before the Brexit bill started. I reckon it’s the finance bill.

There was a Brexit tax related amendment to the finance bill yesterday which the Govt lost.

The one tabled by Grieve today was pivotal to Brexit.

Yes it’s pivotal but was it in the Brexit bill?

It's only really pivotal to the abject incompetence of May.

The Grieve amendment today was to a government business motion. That’s what all the fuss was about with the Speaker as it was thought that business motions should not be amendable.

Scenario for you

May's deal is voted down next week.

She then has 3 days to come back to parliament with a plan. What does that mean exactly? A plan to got back to the EU in an attempt to get another deal. There is no way she could possibly get another deal agreed with the EU in 3 days. If its alternative plan for Brexit parliament wants in 3 day of voting down May's deal then the only alternative is the No Deal Scenario.

Has parliament just voted for a No Deal?

See if you can figure out why this is not correct.

The vote yesterday demonstrated that there are a sufficient number of Tory rebels to bring down the government if they so choose.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

I wouldn't get too carried away, there were 22 Tory and 15 Labour abstentions, and the vote only passed by 7.

Abstensions are significant, they're not "don't knows", all part of the parliamentary arithmetic.

Abstensions are significant, they're not "don't knows", all part of the parliamentary arithmetic.

They are only significant if you count them as people that might have voted in your favour. They chose not to vote and therefore their votes were not included. The facts are the motion was supported by 7 votes which tells you one thing. There is no consensus in the UK parliament for anything which has Brexit included in its title or subject matter. It has nothing to do with what is good for the country it is all about political points scoring.

Now who was that Catholic that had an idea how to sort out parliament one November?
