Fun times ahead.
The most amazing thing is that, when this is voted down, she'll just come back with exactly the same thing three days later. And she'll keep trying again and again, like trying to cram a square peg into a round hole. Either parliament breaks, she breaks, or someone intervenes to stop this madness. What a time to be alive

I'm betting : NO
you'd think there would be a legally binding act on the pairing system given how old it is.
Also note that back when Welsh devolution was voted for in a referendum by an even thinner margin she voted against it in parliament and in 2004 or so Tories wanted a second referendum on it as part of their pledges.
I'm terrified of what's coming. I don't trust the UK, it's politicians or it's people to not commit economic suicide and therefore take the Isle of Man with them.
I'll be perfectly honest I don't understand the argument for having a second referendum. As much as I personally dislike and disagree with the results, we had our vote already, why is this an option to (potentially) have it again?
Because the first referendum was so bloated with misinformation, lies and made up statistics? Maybe because every credited expert kept saying how bad of an idea it is on almost every single level, yet were constantly overshadowed by the Leave perty's media and propaganda? Maybe because the vote is non-binding and was more of a poll rather than an actual referendum in the first place? Or maybe because having the population on mass, rather than majority, vote on an important matter?
The first referendum never delivered what I accept to be a binding decision. I am being stripped of my EU rights. Why? People I've never met in a country I have been within for no more than month of my life voted to. I and nearly 90,000 (just the Isle of Man, not to speak of all those who would've voted remain in other technically non-British jurisdictions ) people will be stripped of rights that a majority were born with through no fault of our own having had no say of our own. I'll go to my deathbed cursing that stupid fucking referendum, It feels like something I had no representation in shouldn't be forced upon me. I lose my right to live and work in the EU and so does everyone else. All because of a majority of 1.3 million have chosen it for us. It's idiocy and feels undemocratic to me. Call me a whiner or whatever, but I don't believe it's possible to be a sore loser when I didn't even get the chance to fight for EU Citizenship. The British people failed themselves. I'm ashamed I'm forced to call myself British.
Oh my god they're still trying to push for another fucking deal. These fucking morons didn't get the hint when the EU said they wont renegotiate.
It's like cheaters desperately begging for an unban after being told no more than once
Here is another link for a live stream https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/46874049 vote is in an hour
The votes are starting in an hour so I wouldn't be surprised if a load of people went off to get food etc before the vote. Her husband is taking her around in a wheel chair so she can go to the lobbies. She's doing a great job for her constituents, but she wouldn't have to if the Tories kept their promises.
This is the most amazing thing to have come out in the past few days
Alright, I have booze. What's the drinking game?!
shot for every MP vote against the deal
okay. but shots of cider.
Sure there would be. "Ask the same question again, literally."

Do you want the UK to remain within the European Union? I would like the UK to leave the EU I would like the UK to remain in the EU If the UK leaves the European Union, do you want the government to leave without a deal or to go with Theresa May's deal? No deal May's deal Is a pretty reasonable approach. Ranked choice does the same thing, but apparently is too complicated. I guess some people would ask for "renegotiate the deal" but the EU have already said they won't.
Well, this ought to be interesting.
NO NO NO NO NO NO House of commons is a pile of fun. But no amendments are going to be voted on.
Well, there is also the thing the Labor party is pushing as a possibility; Extend leave deadline in order to renegotiate a deal. (Read: with Labor leading)
The Baron amendment is being moved, which basically says that the UK can leave the backstop at it's own discretion. This would kill the deal because of course the point of the backstop is to prevent a hard border so the EU wouldn't agree to it. It'd make it more likely to get through parliament, though.

you can't expect people to know exactly what "May's deal" is, especially given they have presented it like an iceberg, hiding most of the important bits well below the surface. they would have to have a larger description
The fact they've forced Tulip Siddiq to delay her cesarean and be wheeled into the House of Commons in a wheelchair is fucking disgusting.
Oh, I trust the electoral commission to write something better than that - I was just going for the gist of it.
