    Corbyn doesnt back down

    The no confidence vote is in

    Can he get it over the line though?

    Surely his position is in danger if he can win the vote

    100% so it would take rebel Tories to dissolve the government.
    I can't see it happening.

    DUP will certainly vote for her tomorrow, if she's out of power they become meaningless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,235 ✭✭✭✭Hurrache


    JRM getting annoyed on Channel 4 because they used the term"crashing out" saying they should not be using such political terms as they're meant to be impartial.

    Of course they will. They have more to lose than anyone.

    Rebell Tories are snookered. They had their internal no confidence vote last month and cannot do so again for 12 months. They would not be able to oust her (unilaterally!) going into an election where they're bound to get a bruising.

    Maybe I was imagining things but I'm nearly sure Keir Starmer was nodding his head when May mentioned speaking to other parties about how to get her deal through parliament. Two minutes later Corbyn stood up and basically told May it was too late now.

    I thought it was an interesting contrast

    I think things might be a lot clearer if Starmer was Labour leader


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,806 ✭✭✭An Ciarraioch


    And of course, the Labour conference voted to back a second referendum if and when a MONC is defeated.

    Bercow is class. God only knows how much worse that would have been without him the last few years.

    I thought that amendment would have far greater support from pro union folk. Why didn't it have more?

    They were miffed that they were delaying the main vote. So voted against.

    Jeremy C's balls have finally dropped.

    She left him with no option. She called him out on it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,378 ✭✭✭secman


    What a complete mess , Laurel and Hardy politics, you couldnt make it up. Can you only imagine what they would be saying about us if we were in their position now. Unreal

    A reminder

    Lords voted to reject Mrs May’s proposals by 321 to 152 last night.

    They've already said they would, before the vote.

    So If JC wins the no-confidence motion and gets and wins his general election, how much time will be left for him to renegotiate a new agreement with the EU?
    Will the EU give more time without JC having a coherent plan?

    I hope he does some how but the upside if he fails, I reckon that's him booted out of labour

    It's a win win situation I think

    Vote tomorrow.

    Business is being debated now by Leader and Shadow Leader.

    Corbyn is a joke, any half wit Labour leader would be itching for a GL and would romp home, but Labour under him would struggle to get a majority.

    For those of us who want a second referendum which will result in no Brexit, this is good news isn't it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭Enzokk


    We are still in limbo. JRM stated that he will vote for the government tomorrow against the motion of confidence. Which means she most likely wins that vote. But that doesn't solve Brexit as there is no majority for any Brexit other than remaining most likely.

    There will not be a majority for her deal.

    There will not be a majority for no-deal.

    There will not be a majority for a no-confidence.

    There will not be a majority for a Labour deal.

    There are only two paths that I can see, either a general election or a new referendum. Parliament is not going to pass anything so they will either need to ask the question again or a new election.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,823 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    So If JC wins the no-confidence motion and gets and wins his general election, how much time will be left for him to renegotiate a new agreement with the EU?
    Will the EU give more time without JC having a coherent plan?

    I suspect they will withdraw article 50 and look to invoke it again.


  • Moderators, Politics Moderators Posts: 40,120 Mod ✭✭✭✭Seth Brundle


    I suspect they will withdraw article 50 and look to invoke it again.
    That would work against them severely though.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,202 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Once again, the UK government show how absolutely incapable they are of getting anything done. Absolute laughing stock.
    I suspect they will withdraw article 50 and look to invoke it again.

    The EU should tell them to **** right off if they tried that.

    Corbyn's problem is he doesn't have an alternative to May's deal, if he wins tomorrow and wins a GE what will his position be?

    Can we move on from interviewing Matt Hancock please. He's stumbling around in circles.
