Over 400k signatures in an hour and a half for the Revoke Article 50 petition. Now over 1.9 million.

May just seems totally incapable and lacking in any political skill.

Problem is.. there could be worse than her.

Just watching live coverage of eu summit and the line from EU sources is that their view is that Ms May is at a point that she is accepting there will be no deal and that she appears to not care if there is a no deal exit, unbelievable

She's trying to make them blink.
She's playing an absolute stormer.

LD I'd like to thank you on behalf of my brain for making it hurt. The guy who wants to invade us AGAIN sounds like Alf garnett come back to life.

A variation on that plan which I saw on twitter was to declare war on Ireland then instantly surrender, therfore become part of the United Republicdom of Ireland and so brexit ceases to be a problem and remain in the EU.

Dear Christ. Next you’ll telling us brexit means brexit! You’re about two years behind reality here.
May is a busted flush.

Water John · 21-03-2019 11:24pm

Tusk now meeting May to outline their decision to her. We should know soon.

An Ciarraioch · 21-03-2019 11:25pm

God I would love to be a fly on the wall during that meeting with the PM.

Parliament can't take control. The government is in control of making laws. Parliament approves or rejects them.

It was voted on a week or 2 ago, only lost by 2 votes.

Anything can happen at this stage.

She tried saying its Plan A only and they saw right through her and now there a number of alternatives.

She is toast now.

Water John · 21-03-2019 11:39pm

She fatally damaged herself with last night's speech.
Petition just passed 2M.

Dear Lord, the EU aren't going to offer rolling extensions are they?

Petition now past the 2 million mark.

Tusk just telling her what’s what and May listening ashen faced. So much for Thatcher 2. What’s funnier is there’s no one to replace her

EU blinked big time, erg know EU fear no deal more than UK does. Sad day for the EU. Kudos to the british diplomatic service who played a blinder.

Shelga · 21-03-2019 11:43pm

So No Deal next Friday is looking pretty unlikely then, whatever about anything else. 12th of April to be the new D day?

The UK has missed it's own deadline to exit the EU and the British Diplomatic Service has played a blinder?

Here we go Tusk is talking about the extension

It's quite extraordinary how the political system has disintegrated so quickly. It's funny that every time I see Dominic Raab's grinning face, I'm reminded of Rik Mayall in the original House of Cards. And how that title fits so well now. I really must watch that again.

Rik Mayall was The New Statesman (Alan B'stard).
House of Cards was Ian Richardson. FU.

That wasn't a binding vote. Governments can ignore those types of votes even if they pass.

Only the government can't amend and change laws.

So the parliament taking back control thing is a nonsense.

Patser · 21-03-2019 11:49pm

Telegraph headline for tomorrow up on BBC feed, looks like May's a goner. 1922 committee calling for a chat.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/03/21/exclusive-theresa-may-told-chairman-1922-committee-tory-mps/

Actually looks like the warning was given to her Monday, no wonder she's lashing out all week.

2 week extension it is so. That'll be great use, her mv3 is absolutely definitely going to fail. The 2 weeks should be long enough for May to get turfed out of office and the new pm to come crawling back looking for a longer extension. Unless those lunatics over there decide to vote confidence in her again
