what a country

maybe there's no hope for parliament!

this could well be a complete breakdown of the Tory Party in the Commons (given the abuse Johnson got at the 1922 apparently), but there is the possibility that it is deliberate (apologies for quoting myself):

edit: in fact, I would not be that surprised if (assuming todays bill passes) Boris tries to bring back May's deal - no deal as an option will have then been removed (so the ERG / DUP might back it), the 21 rebel Tories will presumably back it as well, as will the group around Kinnock. Boris could then call an election whilst simultaneously claiming credit for Brexit whilst denying that the deal was anything to do with him.

EU 6th draft(6th!!) of their No Deal measures. Apparently it's final one.

Some absolute turnips in that place right now. Never seen so many inadequate people in a workplace before.

Ken Clarke: "I think the Prime Minister has a great skill in keeping a straight face whilst he is being so disengenous"

What sort of opposition turns down an election.

Only one which knows they cannot win.

This parliament doesn't want any brexit. They are against democracy.

IDS is such a plum. You can make most pro-Remain MPs squirm by accusing them of trying to stop Brexit, but to trot that line out towards the SNP?

There was a sequence earlier where Bill Cash was followed by Chope, who was followed by IDS. I don't know who came after them because I left to get some bleach.

He is going to vote it down tonight. The rest is irrelevant. If he truly thought he'd win, the timing is irrelevant.

How can you get a fair deal in any walk of life if the person on the other side of the table knows there is no circumstances where you will walk away.

Parliament is completely dysfunctional.
