The problem is the EU won't negotiate the WA. The only thing that can be changed is the Political Declaration.

I'm pretty sure the EU would agree a confirmatory vote vs remain tagged onto the WA

The fucking cheek of this cunt.  He's up against the same wall as Mogg and Johnson come the revolution . 5 minutes alone with him and a 5 iron isn't too much to ask is it ?

 

'Appalled' by Brexit talks with Corbyn

Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith says Theresa May's talks with Jeremy Corbyn "legitimise a Marxist whose sole purpose in life is to do real damage to the country".

[Jenson]

Iain Duncan Smith is an absolute fucking twat of the highest order. Easily my most hated Tory amongst some of the fiercest competition in history.

I’m sure the population of NI were thrilled to hear this. Leadsom is an idiot.

 

[magicrat]

Leadsom really is a thick repulsive bint.

[Bobby Hundreds]

The fucking balls on IDS. A man who has done nothing but destroy peoples lives the sadistic leeching little shit. How much money did that fucker waste how much has he claimed in EU farming subsidies.  He's a fucking poobag.

[Marko121]

They are all fucking horrible but that Leadsom twat takes the biscuit. I hope she never gets in. Horrible, horrible cunt. 

 

Society is is so selfish nowadays. Tories have succeeded in putting people’s brains and morals in their pockets and all the general public ever think about is protecting what is “mine”

An utter fucking disgrace. Brexiteers love to shout out "EUSSR" but there's only one parliament that's stripping rights and placing restrictions on its citizens like some mad communist state.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

They confirmed it ages ago. Nothing new here.

It's just a natural progression. First we have socialism, then we turn into good old commies for a bit, then we take the final step of Corbyn's allotment anarchism. At that point we'll refuse to recognise any borders and free movement will return.

 

I'm more bothered about our bananas. I don't want the EU messing with them and leaving will make sure that's sorted.

Benn’s amendment to put indicative votes on the business schedule defeated. It was tied 310-310 and Bercow used casting vote for the ‘noes’ in accordance with precedent.

 

On to voting about the Letwin/Cooper Bill.

 

 

Quote

 

My recollection - and I’ve been saying this for years across the country to audiences, so I hope it’s right - is that the last occasion on which the speaker had to exercise a casting vote was in 1993, and I believe it was appertaining to the Maastricht Treaty bill ... I think it was on an amendment relating to the social chapter, and it was an amendment in the name of the then leader of the opposition [John Smith] and Speaker Boothroyd cast her vote in the way that she did, against that amendment. And the rationale ... for the exercise of the casting vote is that it is not for the chair to create a majority that doesn’t otherwise exist. 

 

The way in which the casting vote is exercised does also depend upon the stage at which the matter is being aired. So, for example, it would be exercised differently on the second reading of a bill, where there is an important principle of encouraging further debate ... but if it’s the final stage of a bill, the casting vote would be against.

 

In a situation in which a decision would be made that a day would be allocated for particular business [ie, the Benn amendment], I judge that it is not right for me to make that decision if the house hasn’t by a clear majority done so.

"We could be looking at a Tory split, we could be looking at the end on Tory Party," says Spectator editor Fraser Nelson. He says if Theresa May does a deal with Jeremy Corbyn there will be many more resignations.

David Cameron's grand plan to prevent a Tory split going well, then.

If it wasn't Fraser Nelson, I probably would have shrugged. That's a planted threat if I've ever seen one, though.

He had to destroy the party to save it.

She could also go straight into the Corporate Bellendery thread,

 

Every time I hear her speak on anything she seems alarmingly dense , yet through 'connections' has had extremely well remunerated jobs in several boardrooms as well as in Parliament.

Yet labour whipped to vote in favour of common market 2.0 the other day which would include free movement.
