Letwin, I am assuming?

I thought he came across well. He's right, if you come from that side of the argument.

If this means "well" then the bar is indeed very low.

Whilst I appreciate his criticism, he did not suggest a solution... There's none apart from remain. Even Norway style deal would require treating the NI separately from GB (by keeping it in the CU). Brexit with no NI exception is essentially impossible.

Sammy Wilson is such a repulsive disgusting person, he's full of anger, red in the face, suddenly abusing the GFA, which his middle ages party want destroyed, but now he uses it his in his nonsensical pitch. Who voted for this kind of a person? I fear to imagine.

I despise this guy and the DUP, they are pathetic. And all that despite I'm not Irish, so don't have a skin in the game! He and his party are an antithesis of liberal, secular, European values, it's shocking to see something like this in 21st century EU.

Seeing DUP so pissed off about the NI "frontstop" gives me certain satisfaction though

And to add to that there are actually pictures of him frolicking naked out there. He was engaged to Ian's daughter when he was literally caught with his pants down. Shows he is a survivor to still be in a senior position of the DUP after that incident

Letwin being voted on now.

For me, May will go down as someone who tried hard in impossible circumstances. I don't dislike her at all.

No, she set her own red lines and decided for a Tory Brexit and put her party ahead of the country time and time again. I will never feel sorry for her for her part in this Brexit mess, then we get to her record in the Home Office and there is zero chance of getting any sympathy.

I thought that myself, how the decision is made seems rather arbitrary

Yes.

I agree. But there is no solution.. And with that in mind, I think he spoke well. I hate him, but I mean, he basically stood up and said two plus two equals four.

I don't know if this is still the way but in 1979 when the Callaghan government lost by one vote the commentator was able to tell if the vote was won or lost by which way the vote tellers were standing at the despatch box after the vote.

UTV’s Ken Reid saying the DUP will vote for Letwin.

Well during sammy's contribution he was asked by a conservative MP about the Letwin amendment and would they vote for it and he didn't say no.

If this passes, no vote on the deal?

For those interested, here is a link to the proceedings,

May had 330 out of 650 so 14 going on 22 at a push

and the threat of a Corbyn Government to keep the ERG in check

4 because SF don't vote
8 because the DUP could be traditional allies if their causes align.

But my understanding is that Letwin triggers benn - therefore extension tonight - requested anyway

It’s like death by a thousand cuts with the way they vote in the House of Commons.
