It would have been interesting to see if the deal would have passed. Pity. Labour might live to regret this moment because this could mean no deal. They will take a huge beating at the next elections.

I was impressed with May today. She speaks in a more measured and polite way and doesn't act like the snotty brat that Johnson does. In today's comments in parliament she put her party and country (?) first and said she'd vote for his bill because it delivers Brexit.
Boris voted against May's deal and threw her under the bus repeatedly. He came back with a deal that's mostly hers with a few tweaks, and thinks he deserves credit as the genius of the century. Yet she still supports him. Wow.

Letwin amendment passed that's good news.
Boris still says he will not ask for a further delay, so there is no light at the end of the chunnel yet.
Will there ever be.
Hopefully the ship of fools will sink.

| Quote: | | | | | The next extension may be for a budgetary period (5 years) as some of the 27 are getting tired of this nonsense and what a break so the EU can concentrate on other issues. | | | | | That would actually make sense if there was reasonable hope to get a follow-on arrangement done while predictable regulations apply. Unfortunately both history and the present demonstrate that no timeframe will be long enough.

Theresa May has class.
True emotional intelligence.
They should all learn from her.

Good. | | | | | We (as a country) would have never been in this situation in the first place if there'd been a decent opposition leader in office. He's appearing more statesmanlike lately, but it's scant compensation for what led us to this place, and let's be having it right, many of us would easily be capable of appearing statesmanlike with such a febrile opponent as the current PM.
