Ben Act Letwin Amendment Palava..

[fender62]

this is seriously getting on my nerves, this whole brexit thwarting tactics....errr
i just want to see an end to it, leave obviously..how long can this go on, court cases to stop it
were all going to die, were doomed etc etc.

[dannyk13]

Letwin thwarts the PM again.What a plonker.

[Tilly2]

Why have you brought it up if you are sick of it?

[fender62]

Tilly2, steam release..phew

[-SharonA-]

I am fed up with it all too. I don't know if MP's are being awkward voting against or the deal really is bad.

[ichkeria]

They haven’t voted against

[dannyk13]

ich, they would have done if Letwin hadn't put the kibosh on it.

[Tilly2]

Ayes to the right were 'for'

[dannyk13]

^ for it that is^

[jourdain2]

I am more than fed-up of a handful of people thwarting a democratic vote. I'm not keen on Boris's deal (would prefer WTO) but it would at least have got us out and into a negotiating position over the other things like fishing, courts etc..

[CrapAtCryptics]

Dont want a no deal dont want a deal its obvious they have bottled it and just want to remain. Saves them having to govern and roll on the GE to see the back of many of these undemocratic t*ss*rs

[diddlydo]

The "deal" is really bad, leaving the EU is really, really bad. End of.

[ichkeria]

What worries m about this deal is that a No Deal is still effectively a risk even if the deal is passed.
Why? Because if the free trade negotiations fail a year from now it leaves us cast adrift. It’s a backstop in reverse in a way. Johnson has told sceptics that that won’t happen but that reassurance is meaningless.

[ichkeria]

And Dominic Raab has claimed it’s a great deal for N Ireland because it will have FRICTIONLESS TRADE WITH THE EU!!!
No apologies for shouting: the irony of that is staggering.

[ToraToraTora]

yep good ole HOQ eh?

[ichkeria]

If frictionless trade is good for NI then why not for the rest of the UK ;-)
Little wonder the DUP are cross. For once I agree with them.

[MWG14]

What are these 'People's Vote' protesting about, for G's sake? Didn't we the people have a democratic vote in 2016? It is truly sickening.

[ichkeria]

Has it occurred to you Danny that if it’s true that MPs would have voted for the deal then these are the same MPs who also voted for Letwin? The govt needed 320 votes to get the deal passed and 322 voted for the amendment

[diddlydo]

MWG - most of those who voted "leave" in 2016 didn't have a clue or an informed opinion of the ramifications of leaving.

[naomi24]

diddlydo, don't insult people. I knew exactly what I was voting for.

[ToraToraTora]

yes we did.
