That was US and some other countries which required visas. For the EU, your UK had to still be valid on your date of return to the UK.

A no-deal Brexit could be classed as a natural disaster akin to flooding and earthquakes by the European Union, it has been reported.
The bloc is said to be considering the move that would release emergency funds to the member states most affected.
EU officials would distribute cash from the bloc's solidarity fund, which was set up in 2002 in response to severe weather that year.
What a misuse of funds BREXIT is not 'a natural disaster'

Although, thinking about it, maybe the EU will just top the fund back up again with the UK's divorce settlement billions...

| Quote: | | | | | I figured some MPs would vote against the govt but I didn't see one defecting before voting even started. | | | | | And if anyone cares to see an MP quite literally cross the house, it came just after the PM marked the anniversary of the German invasion of Poland and said Britain stands for democracy and the rule of law. This was the look on his face as he realised what just happened.
Just in case he didn't cotton on to what just happened, Ian Blackford rubbed it in...
"One of the most remarkable things that took place during the statement was to see the member for Bracknell cross the floor. Prime minister: You've lost your majority."
Just for the record, Dr. Philip Lee is a medical doctor and still practices part-time as a GP.

Is anyone else watching the news like I used to watch horror films as a kid: from behind a cushion with the remote ready?
Jeebers indeed.

I think there only needs to be 275 to trigger No Confidence. Someone will gleefully correct me if I'm wrong. I CBA to Google. Littlest R sleeping.

Not yet. Just watched Kay Burley's interview with Dr Philip Lee who said, whilst he's been mulling over his decision for quite some time, for him the straw that broke the camel's back was yesterday morning's LBC exchange between Jacob Rees-Mogg and the neurologist, Dr David Nicholl.  | | The following 3 users would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |

Anna Soubry sticking it to Boris, lol. Brilliant!
She asks him if it's true he rang The Telegraph to complain about Peter Foster's article today. That face speaks volumes.. he has no answer.
