Brexit bill: Cabinet backs PM's Brexit compromises offer - BBC News

What a con: Tory Con™

Has May asked the EU if they are willing to agree to a tempory customs union until a GE?
If I spoke for the EU, I would say that is a non-starter.

OOhh interesting.


A vote on a second referendum and a vote on a customs union. Vote the bill down and it's either cancel Brexit or a GE.

Quite possibly. In which case most Tory MP's will vote to save their skins and cancel Brexit. Without Boris leading, they'll lose the next GE anyway, whether it's in 6 months or 2022, so I reckon they'll shoot for 2022, led by May or someone else equally poor. Can't see them choosing Boris, they are too cowardly.

A vote to allow vote?

But is it only an indicative vote which she will ignore and ask again

As long as he has a majority

MP's threaten to resign the Tory whip under Boris Johnson

I don't think he'd be afraid to call a GE. The Tory party needs a clear out anyway, let them resign the whip.

When did farage get elected to Westminster?

BOJO can easily get no deal Brexit. Don't ask for extension. Wait for Halloween. Simples.

MP's threaten to resign the Tory whip under Boris Johnson

A senior Tory said 12 or more MPs would refuse to serve under Mr Johnson, which would effectively deprive the Government of a majority.

FFS, this is the worse deal out of the lot of them.

Put BOJO in control and let him try and get his No deal Brexit through parliament and into proper scrutiny so we can all have a good laugh.

Agree. The cabinet are pathetic, Labour want a GE, let's hope the "bold offer" deal is roundly rejected by all.

If labour would want a GE they should call a vote of no confidence now. There seem to be enough CON MPs at the moment who would support that. But just like the tories they will lose loads of seats, so they are not calling for an election

Given the parliamentary arithmetic, if May's deal is voted down, then

be afraid
....be very afraid
