That MPs could actually vote for such a thing is beyond me now. But why am I surprised? I place my trust in the Lords. They won't stand for this bullsh!t. I hope anyway. But not sure if the Progamme Vote needs Lords approval. Anyone know?

Spanish Eyes wrote: » Eh, there were disaffected ignored in so called poorer areas voting to Leave too, you know.... in the hope things might improve for them. Unfortunately the Parties that gave them an austerity kicking do not care about the great unwashed At All, and will continue to kick them when they are down. They don't care. Sad times for the aspirations of those people, and everyone else, it has to be said. (I sound like Marian Finucane there).

And they will (as before) allow an exit on the first day of the month following the passing and ratification of the WA in all stages. It's mad that there are people commenting on Twitter with such authority when they haven't read the salient documents.

My understanding is VOTE ONE - Bill itself putting beginning process of translating deal to law VOTE TWO - timing and schedule EDIThttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-50142367 Im totally confused cause the BBC just stated first is bill itself - and this article, also BEEB says if timing is defested bill will be pulled ???? Do we have one of those very informative charts per chance - with all remaining outcomes and timelines?

prawnsambo wrote: » The EU well know that this isn't possible. But they also know that most MPs couldn't read a line of text without forgetting how it started. So they'll wait as long as possible before granting an extension. Partly because of the above and partly because there are so many possible outcomes, not least a GE that could manifest in the next week. I have no idea what Corbyn will do. But polls aren't looking good for him at the moment. So an election manifesto is needed first.

OK the legislation will be later on, but it is a shoo in, if the Assembly continues to mess around and refuse to reconvene anytime soon The Assembly yesterday refused to appoint a Speaker and Deputy Speaker so it all went South after that (pun). DUP must be raging, and I don't care much anymore now. I think if all other reps had said NO to abortion and SSM, they would have said YES. It is very difficult for me not to castigate them, but I will try my best to be civil.
