If it was the HoC would be on fire right now.
Amendment massacre now underway in parliament, as a bunch of amendments have been submitted to try to derail the emergency A50 extension bill and MPs are destroying them one-by-one

Bill Cash must be so fucking mad that his motions have been utterly savaged.

This is fucking crazy, they literally passed a bill through the entire Commons process in one day, by one vote. It's not good to do that, but neither is the fact that our country is a week away from fucking dying, so desperate times call for desperate measures
I'd rather they'd passed a more extensive bill replacing No Deal with Revoke as the legal default, but the fact that they've passed anything is really amazing.
Consider all of the non-binding motions that have failed in the past few weeks, and now MPs have passed not just a motion, but a fucking law that forces Theresa May to extend A50. That's pretty awesome.
I think the most important part of the bill is that it also says that if the EU rejects our initial request and offers a different extension date, Theresa May is required to bring that offer back to parliament for a vote - she can't just say no and walk away
Now it heads to the Lords where they'll have to speed it through as well.
Is Parliament finally taking back control?
Given how close the vote is they are probably going to start eating each other alive.
What does this accomplish?
If the EU says "No" aren't they kinda fucked?
This is more about forcing May to go back to the EU with a reasonable offer i.e. referendum / election, stopping May from coming out tomorrow saying "Corbyn didn't negotiate well, so it's my deal or no deal FOR REAL THIS TIME"
The winds been taken out of May's sails, and it's now an option between soft brexit or long extension
That margin on the Cooper-Letwin bill..

Just the Greens alone could have swung it
I'm fucking seething at this country. Every Tory must be held responsible for this, egg the fucking lot of them. How are they so blind?
Christ the petition site was slow notifying me of this, well they debated it on Monday, its 3 hours of them ripping at each other.

But all it takes is one member giving their veto for the whole thing to fall apart, no?
IIRC Macron's said that France's position on the matter aligns with Juncker's.

That's 47% that do not want a No Deal.
But of course politicians don't care nor see that.

Looks like we're adding "flextension" to the Brexit jargon list

BBC News - UK asks EU for Brexit extension until 30 June

That's...not a huge amount of time, honestly.
It's not exactly breaking news either. They'll keep extending for as long as possible.
You just know that if they do get this extension they'll wont do anything and leave all the planning and debating until the week before if the deadline
She commits to beginning the preparations for EU elections in this letter so it looks like that's happening
If they get this extension then I'm 99% certain that Brexit will never happen.
Can't wait for these monthly extension requests now.
oh I know the answer to this, most aerospace suppliers have an EU subsidiary that can import the parts which then proceed along inside the single market
I like how the EU seems to care more for our citizens than our actual government.
