vla1ne Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Thank god(s). I've seen the same deal pushed repeatedly, and shot down each time. There's no time for a new draft, the old draft is something nobody wants, and it's 1 billion pounds for each month of delay paid out to the EU. Why are they delaying a hard brexit again?

Depending on the result, one of two additional extensions may/will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 There's also a petition going round to revoke article 50 that has 2.2 million signatories thus far, but that number is completely irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael D. Striker Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/uk/live-news/brexit-latest-gbr-intl/index.html This is lovely, the House of Commons passed an Amendment that would allow a series of Indictive Votes to take place to decide what kind of Brexit they would back. Interesting development. In essence, the House and not the Government are in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Spelling it Labour What is it about drinking Tea that makes people think they need to be hip about these things Over here it IS spelled Labour. I can't help correcting spellings of words (even words who have different spelling across the pond), and if you have got a problem with that, then it's a you problem.

If only to get a stable majority to get something done.I know the DUP won't abstain, it was simply a scenario that could get the deal though (albeit really unlikely). I also think a General Election is likely necessary given the stalemate that the indicative votes had garnered this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
