    I hope everyone has seen that clip. It really is worth watching and realising the depth of the sh*t that they have landed themselves in.....

    https://twitter.com/BBCSpotlightNI/status/1113199323838390272

    Tis guy is ridiculous ...'Nothing or no one will stop us leaving the EU " ...who does he think he is ...If the people change their mind as poles are showing and a majority want to remain now and Labour and Trade Unions are calling for a referendum on any deal including the option to remain in then what will that guy do ??

    The DUP are the biggest ***** ever...power hungry and wanting to be seen as the king makers ....completely ignoring the will of the people of NI to remain in EU ..They should have stood by the SNP and others .But if they had one brain cell between them they would have realised this .Even the EU offer of NI remaining in EU customs arrangement and in UK market as part of the exit deal was a superb offer with NI in the best of both world...imagine the companies who would want to relocate there..but no they rejected that too ...and for what ...If they are not voted out in the next election then something is seriously wrong somewhere

    No the intellectual heavy weights stood with the ERG ...Why ??

    The replies from MEP Woolfe to that tweet are astonishing. The mask really starting to slip for some of the hard Brexiteers.

    Cooper passed by one vote. So says The Guardian...

    Mine too. I was beginning to wonder just how long it would be before the cracks between the Tories and the DUP would begin to appear. Oh well, what goes around, comes around I suppose.:rolleyes:

    Should get rubber stamped by the Lords tomorrow given their track record on Brexit.

    The UK still needs to produce something worth an extension, but that's another story.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,824 ✭✭✭ShooterSF


    This just gets more and more crazy. They are now going to make their PM request an extension she doesn't want. I can see that being a passionate speech in front of the EU. Were they not listening when the EU said they had to have a firm plan in place. The debate to pick a date will probably end up like the indicative votes. Part of me is actually looking forward to them being told where to go.

    Islam saying

    "Nobody from Government has replied in Commons ... which seems extraordinary - seizing control of order paper is one thing - actually passing statute in this way extraordinary...

    Obviously none of this could happen to a Govt with a majority."

    The past few weeks have been surreal. Game Of Thrones is more believable.

    The only thing that will last longer that the past three years mess will be the inevitable public enquiry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,010 ✭✭✭Panrich


    So what is the significance of this vote. She won’t go to bat for a long extension so she could ask for a very short one again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 802 ✭✭✭RickBlaine


    What has the Cooper bill actually changed? I thought May was asking for an extension anyway?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,301 ✭✭✭✭A Dub in Glasgo


    The 14 Tories who voted for the bill

    It's legally binding this time as opposed to the previous motion.

    I could be wrong here but the bill puts it into law? Where as May was just May saying that. Someone please correct me if I have got that wrong.

    hmm not many big surprises I don't think.

    Maybe Alistair Burt is one

    It rules out No Deal completely insofar as it forces May to ask for an extension. Prior to this, May could have let the clock run down to the 12th and crash out.

    So this bill is forcing her to do something that she was going to have to do anyway. I don't see the logic in this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 457 ✭✭mcbert


    So May would legally be required to ask for an extension. Nothing about how long, nothing about EP elections? So what has changed? EU's position is the same: sign up or crash out...

    Nothing really has changed. May could ask the EU for a 1 ms extension which they could accept or reject and she'd have met the requirements of this bill.

    Where the EU will, of course, be scapegoated entirely except for a token "the behaviour of some Brexiteers might have bordered on the reckless". The predictability of it all really has an awe of its own.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,010 ✭✭✭Panrich


    It rules out No Deal completely insofar as it forces May to ask for an extension. Prior to this, May could have let the clock run down to the 12th and crash out.

    But the criteria for an extension still have to be met by the UK so no deal remains the likely outcome despite this vote.

    Just more can kicking then without a serious plan. Can't see the EU buying that!
