I'm Dyslexic mate, cat spell for Peanuts. LoL

Me too buddy sometimes I just turn the auto spell check off just to piss off the grammar nazis!

The vote will be defeated massively. Corbyn will announce in the next 48hrs a motion of no confidence (Which will fail, Conservatives are not going to vote themselves out and the DUP are not going to give away the leverage they currently have.

Be interesting to see what happens over the next few days.

European precedents, we are still part of the place right now, thats just how it is

Everyone hopes so shooterbrody but chance would be a fine thing indeed.

He has pretty much already declared a vote of no confidence, I think the expectation is that he will do it after the vote.

No chance it will pass, I doubt May will quit and she can't face a no confidence vote in her own party and the EU aren't for removing the backstop.....so whats left.

No only the UK can overturn Brexit.

What indeed???

It's rather pathetic in the extreme and indicative of the state of affairs really.

No deal or they extend article 50. Personally prefer the former but cannot see it happening as we seem to have lost all belief in ourselves.

WOW thats a big defeat!

They can remove the deal and force a hard Brexit if we refuse to swallow the fiasco May has proposed.

Which might actually happen bar another referendum.

As has been said before; May has managed the unthinkable.....she's united both hardened Brexiteers and passionate Remainers, both camps know its a crap and unworkable deal.

I have a different interperatation to be honest. They haven't united because the deal is unworkable, they have united because both see the opportunities for political capitol. Brexiteers think they can gain a different deal, Remainers think they get an opportunity to put it off indefinitely. A tiny percentage are doing it because they believe it is correct (the few honourable ones).

I think extending article 50 would be the best way forward however I think the only way the EU will pass that is if there is evidence that the governments position has changed drastically.

Ohhh there we go Labour want a general election.

I wish they would just grow a set of balls and push for a second referendum.

This is just waisting time.

Corbyn is opposed to the corporate and oligarchic EU. I don't think he wants the country to remain. Just the deal is shockingly bad. Probably intentionally so.

He should purge the pro-corporate blairite remainers from the Party before the general.

Well he is historically pro-brexit.

surprise surprise....Labour tables a motion of no confidence.

Wow, apparently thats the biggest defeat in the history of the commons.

Ouch.

well tomorrows going to be interesting.

The biggest government defeat in parliamentary history.

I genuinely don't know what happens next.....or even what should happen next.

A General Election would be a disaster and cause even greater division in the country.

Parliament should have accepted the governments recommendation then went to the people with an option of voting for her deal or No Deal......what we have now is just chaos and confusion and no-one having a #ing Scooby about what the hell is going on!

I hope someone can reliably inform me what is likely to happen now.

I was surprised May announced she would make time tomorrow for the no confidence vote.
Either there's another couple of billion up her sleeve for the DUP or she's had enough

Well the general election will certainly be interesting.

The Sociopath Party versus the Humiliating Moron Party.

I expect a low turnout...
