    Shauny's lost 10 games of noughts and crosses in a row to a Gregg's steak bake.

    No 10's plan:


    Code:
    Parliament vote on WA on 14th Feb;
    while (Ayes < Noes) {
        stall for another 2 weeks or so;    /* claim progress being made in securing concessions from EU etc. */
        Parliament vote on WA;              /* fingers crossed, more MPs come around */ 
    }

    Some Brexiteers like the murder of MPs.

    Where is Guy Fawkes when you need him?

    Or the right honourable MP for Huntingdon

    Almost certain, IMHO.
    MPs voted to have the referendum, trigger Article 50, and put into law the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, all of which lead to Brexit whether there is a deal or not. Parliament might have voted not to have no deal, but in order for them to get that outcome in the context of these three things that they had already voted for, they have to vote in favour of a deal. The EU say May's deal is the only one available, and MPs have already voted to reject that. If the EU want to change the deal on offer, there is a possibility that MPs might change their mind to support it. But I don't think the EU is going to budge, so there will be no deal.

    5 years time, we'll be back in the EU but under EU terms (Euro etc). As contractors, let's make some dosh whilst the chaos continues
    It's not about trust. They just won't be able to resist Britain's tasty jam tea and biscuit exports.

    Probably advisory but she'd be making a mockery of democracy if she ignored the will of the people [emoji6]
