Jacob Rees-Mogg reckons it will.

[Zacs-Master]

I thought it already had.

[emmie]

i am talking about the December 11th vote.

[ichkeria]

I think he’s confused it with the number of Tory MPs who had been predicted to follow his lead and send in their “letters” :-)

[Zacs-Master]

It would be a very brave person who predicted anything either way. Politics these days is as unpredictable as the weather. Less so maybe.

[emmie]

i said before that May could get this deal through, i sincerely hope not, but somehow or other i have a sneaking suspicion that it won't go according to plan.

[gulliver1]

This is the same man who said 48 letters had been written to the 1922 committee, He is not to be trusted.

[emmie]

so it is zacs, but i am keeping my fingers crossed for a No Deal vote, but its just so unpredictable.

[emmie]

trust a politician, well we must at some point, otherwise we have chaos

[gulliver1]

Think , after all the MPs have spent the next five days Debating, for up to eight hours plus each day, they will be too worn out to vote that,s a lot of debating , that's mass debating

[Zacs-Master]

I just can't get my head around why people want a no deal exit. It's crazy.

[Kromovaracun]

Quite possibly, yes. Although it is obviously in JRM's interest to predict that only a few votes could decide it. Because he's only got a handful (guffaw).

As I said elsewhere I really can't see a way through for her deal based on the information I've seen. That doesn't mean there is one, though, and of course the plan could be to fail...

[Jackdaw33]

JRM is being disingenuous. He knows full well that the bill has no chance if all the other parties vote against it.

[emmie]

but Mrs May is doing the rounds, and taking debates all this week to sell her plan, what if she succeeds, what then.

[youngmafbog]

We follow the French and take to the streets demanding May's head rolls.

[jim360]

I wouldn't care to guess what happens next week, but what I certainly don't sense is that there's any popular support for anti-May rioting. Surprisingly, and uncomfortably for her assailants on both sides, she seems to have a great deal of support, or at least more than she did even a few weeks ago.

[Jackdaw33]

May is living on borrowed time anyway. Whatever the outcome of the vote, and I fully expect it to be No, she will be gone. From heroine to villain in two short years.

[cashier]

I think it will go through. They will all cave in.

[jim360]

Out of interest, YMB and Jackdaw, are you watching the Commons live at the moment?

[ichkeria]

I missed the bit where she was originally a heroine I must say. All that nonsense about a hard Brexit in the early days was fatal for her. She boxed herself in and left herself open to the same fate that befell Cameron when he made all those claims about what he was going to extract from his negotiations.
I actually think if anything the PM
has gone in the other direction: she looks a lot more heroic than the stuffy stooge she appeared when she took over. Sadly for her heroines are often tragic
