    Barnier and Co must be quaffing champagne and laughing their heads off tonight as the Tory party tears itself apart.

    All they have to do is sit on their hands, hold their position and stay cool.

    Surprised no one is asking how will the EU respond to no deal being taken off the table?

    Will their stance harden?

    Remember Boris is in Dublin on Monday...

    Nope he's walked these clowns right into it. The public aren't sending Corbyn to Brussels. It's over. No deal inevitable.

    Ok Brendan O'Neill we get it

    A chancer like Boris kicking Churchill's grandson out of the Tory party. Sums up Brexit, really.

    It won't be a good look.

    Although Leadsom is being interviewed on Sky now and seems to be rowing back on the idea of removing the party whip.

    It hasn't been yet.
    I would expect nothing to happen at EU level until the GE sorts itself out.

    Johnson's legs have been taken from under him. He's a lame duck.

    A Prime Minister who has lost his authority straight out the gate. This will have long term ramifications for him, even if the tories do win an eventual election.

    The intention is to re-heat the withdrawal agreement for a 4th time on the 21st October.

    And it won't pass anyway.

    Because Parliament don't want "no deal"
    And the same MP's don't want "deal"

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Labour have screwed the remoaners by keeping Corbyn in. If they had replaced him with someone competent when they had the chance they could have overthrown the democratic will of the public.




    I am not so sure the democratic will of a majority of the people who voted for brexit would be overly excited about just crashing out without a deal and all the misery that will bring.

    It hasn't been taken off the table. They voted to have a vote tomorrow. If they vote tomorrow then that will be off the table.

    There is only 2 ways the Conservatives will not be in government in that election if it happens.

    1) Labour and the other parties come together in how to select people for an election so its 1 on 1
    2) Or Labour and other parties get together for a coalition and set it out for the election and then have a majority

    The EU don't care that no deal is cancelled. Nothing for them to say other than "oh, that's nice".

    They won't do anything much until Britain shows up with a new plan. Judging by whats rumoured it'll still be no change as it will be on Monday.

    What an epic tv tonight, Bercow was the star of the show once again.

    But fair play to the rebels in the conservatives, of course it wasnt easy but they stood up when their country need them and did was best for their country.

    Pity other politicians only care for personal glory or their party

    What does tonight mean overall? Any chance of a Brexit extension or referendum not to leave?

    It has ramifications for every future Prime Minister.

    This is a massive precedent.

    If Parliament doesn't like something Comrade Jezz cooks up 2 years from now, they can compel Corbyn to accept a decision they or any supra-national body decide, on any matter whatsoever.

    Either of this is possible and let's not forget the Farage influence in all of this.

    Something more sinister I suspect. Something heinous, in his mind at least. When men of integrity say things like that its a bit worrying.

    Likely it's the fear that a no deal will unleash the kind of chaos that gets people killed and spirals into the kind of stuff that brought about Nazi Germany, they havent gone quite over the line but there's been quite a few echos of what happened to weimar of course.

    They have to do it again tomorrow. It sounds like they haven't had the whip removed tonight. They will be put under serious pressure tomorrow by No.10.

    The people of the UK aren't ever putting a charlatan like Corbyn into number 10. Today is a marvelous day for the people who voted to leave the EU.
