    John Baron is an insufferable blowhard.

    He means that sheep farmers can be paid off to shut up.

    Mogg getting called out by everyone now

    He doesn't care, he is playing the game of the toff who to him, everyone else is just flotsam and jetsam, and oh so utterly boring too. He's flipping the bird in a toff way by lying prone on the benches. Ah well.

    He will survive also. Maybe he will be revered too for his nonchalance.

    About 10pm or thereabouts.

    The way this is going, unless the Speaker culls the debate it may be much later. But who knows.

    And we thought Game of Thrones was bad but Brexit has given us some bizarre parody of it tonight.

    At a guess, 360-280 or something like that.

    It won't be tight.

    Tight win for the motion according to pundits on BBC and SKY.

    I do hope it passes, but have doubts.

    Moving onwards of course, as I do.... what happens if it fails?

    No deal has not been examined ?


    Seeing that we didn't know of Project Yellowhammer until it was leaked and we keep hearing that May go spooked by the assessments of what no-deal would mean and the same will happen to Johnson, no it hasn't really.

    I was watching the BBC and they are still banging on about the EU will offer a better WA than the one on the table if the UK can only double down on threatening no deal...

    I suspect Hammond has got a nod from Europe that an Ext would be acceded to.

    Dominic Grieve, "evil will follow a no deal brexit".
    He mentioned evil just before that as well - strong word for an ex attorney general to use, twice - what is he implying ?

    Well the MP in question was putting forth the possible up sides to a no deal and in that context it hadn't been examined.

    Boris Johnson's going down!

    He's played an absolute blinder and walked these tools right into an election. He'll have done a deal with Nigel Farage and hard Brexit is now inevitable.

    Public disorder ? Although referring to that as evil is a bit harsh.

    It's true. Labour rebels will divide opinion and UK votes by first past the post.

    If votes within individual constituencies are split between the opposition parties, Boris gets a landslide. By accident, because of an utterly undemocratic way of voting in anything other than a truly bipartisan country.

    Ironically, the Brits voted in a referendum not to change this system (mainly because the government were not behind it and failed to adequate explain the advantages, nothing at all to do with them being terrified of losing their seats of course)

    A yes vote here is a bad thing for those fearing a no deal, unless Jeremy Corbyn has a terrible accident in the next 30 days.

    Sounds like a football match crowd there in the Commons now. Bet they all bailed out to the Commons Bar while the boring stuff was going on. Hilarious.

    Hope they don't hit the wrong button or whatever they do to vote on this. It sounds like Anfield to me!
