    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.
    He could pop over to North Korea and have a look at their sunny uplands.

    One Conservative rebel tells me as many as 20 Tory MPs have rebelled.

    “Jacob Rees-Mogg was a great recruiting sergeant,” the MP told me.#Brexit

    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.

    No Deal was the default, he didn't need to do anything except play it cool.

    Instead he got spooked and started trying to throw his weight around. He has ended up taking the whip of loads of his own party and having an absolute mare in the HoC today.

    But yeah, other than that he is dong great!

    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!

    No buttons. They have to say how they will vote.

    Boris Johnson's going down!

    I think the Brits don't have the balls to go for a no deal brexit, we will know in a few minutes either way

    No. There isn't enough seats in the House of Lords either.

    Project fear.

    This is adding nothing to the debate, write something worth reading or stay quiet please.

    It's even more archaic than that. They walk through the lobbies, the Ayes or the Noes.

    They are rarely all in the chamber at the same time.

    Listening to BBC commentators speculating about the long delay waiting for the whips.

    Last time this happened the result was very close.

    But not publicly. I know it is available later on record.

    It is still like a drunken horde in there before a match now. Are we listening to Parliament Live?

    The place was empty for a few hours. Guess where they were?

    I know but you have to declare to the teller which way you are voting. I've seen a video of the whole thing being explained and while I'm sure it's a nice touch to keep the traditions, a bit of modernisation wouldn't hurt.

    A delay in the aye lobby which may or maybe mean something

    In the bars around Westminster obviously. The bells go off in the bars around westminster and not just in the building itself.
