He just wants to short the pound already to make more money
Do a deal with the socialists? Fuck me, is he trying to pull a GOP on us?
Literally yes, him and Bojo have explicitly been in contact with people like Steve Bannon to recreate the success of Trump here and pull our politics into the same shit swamp the US is in.
Deputy Chair of the ERG too:

This would be a great time to do a party VONC against her, if they hadn't already tried that in December and given her a 12-month VONCproof shield
I just want out of this mess so if Corbyn can beat some sense into the old witch i'm willing to trust him on this, hope to god the ERG doesn't pull the rug out from under this.
The cynic in me sees this as shifting blame for an April 12th no deal brexit onto Labour’s doorstep.
Especially after reading that NYT piece the other day about May, about how she has no life outside of politics and the Conservative party means everything to her.
She has already capitulated to the ERG, and should she actually try cooperate with Labour it would see her cabinet collapse. Just doesn’t add up.

When this is all over they're going to have to call it just "The Kingdom", or K for short.

What an absolute penis.
Do the Tories not realize they need to actually make some attempt to engage with the opposition to get anything done or does acknowledging that Labour exist now automatically make you a card carrying communist.
Is there any reliable site that can summarize what happened during the last few weeks regarding Brexit and the proposed deals? Preferrably one that is not biased. I am having a hard time following anything.
I highly recommend watching the videos by TL;DR news that quickly go over each stage of brexit and stick plainly to the facts of the matter.

There was just a vote in Parliament to hold another round of indicative votes, it ended in a tie.
The Speaker had the casting vote and voted against having them on Monday.

That was the first tied vote since 1993, which was in relation to the EU's Maastricht treaty!
This tie has made me kinda nervous that they wont be able to pass indicative votes today.
Jesus fucking christ, the Business of the House motion for the Cooper just passed by one vote, 312-311
OOOOH a majority of 1. that was PAINFUL.
So this is the first time parliament has decided to basically go nuclear and move towards passing a law that would force Theresa May not to leave the EU without a deal
With 9 days left. Cutting it a bit fine there, lads.
so does this also get voted on by parliament now or are the indicative votes happening differently or what?
Just to be clear, this is a good thing right?
Yeah, although May had already indicated she was gonna extend it anyway. Also, it only forces her to extend it past April 12th AFAIK, it doesn't take No Deal off the table forever which I'd prefer
I am afraid this is just to shift the blame on the EU. May or not, the blame sits on the whole parliament in my opinion,
After all, there is no guarantee the U.K. will get an extension of Article 50(and looking at the past statements made by the members it does not seem likely) so this is just plain ignoring the problem.
So... with that tied vote, is this it for the indicative votes and chances for confirmatory public votes and customs union options?
May's request already got denied by Juncker.
also

Juncker isn't involved in granting or denying the request, he's President of the European Commission and the request would be made to the 27 other members of the European Council
They only have one printer?
Yeah and it's made in Britain
