Fine.

MP's will hopefully do their jobs and read in full what they're voting on and then the EU will tell us to get stuffed if we dither any longer.

If it is just to delay without resolving this, yes. If on the other hand we want to actually try and resolve this - via a GE, a second referendum (or ideally a new government via a no confidence vote) - then the EU will grant an extension.

It'll be the first sentence and you know it.
 
Just to make a point that is obvious, if the DUP had not been sold out by this deal then it would have passed today (316-312).
 
Have to say I'm 1000% with Boris on this. The audacity of the MPs to continue this delay and a complete disregard for their constituents' will. And I'm not a Tory. I hope he does not have to negotiate a delay. Get a no deal and go.

An MP should be looking after the best interests of their entire constituency - Leavers, Remainers, Labour, Tories, BXP, LD, non-voters, everyone. They do this by exercising their judgement, not by turning up as a glorified proxy vote for some nebulous combined 'will' of thousands of different people.

How many constituencies are there in the UK where the Leave vote was an outright majority of the regional population (not just those that voted)? Just because 14 or 15 years old can't vote (for example) doesn't mean an MP shouldn't factor them into their decisions.
 
The comments after the vote were interesting. Boris basically saying he will not write to the EU and that we will leave on 31st Oct and then Letwin saying that he and his chums will now vote for Boris’ deal so that we leave on the 31st Oct. Corbyn said something but no one was listening......
 
Labour have plenty of reasons to oppose this deal without needing to resort to claiming that the DUP have been sold out.

They do, but none of those reasons will resonate as much as pointing that out does.

The PM went to their conference - twice - and told them that he'd never do what he has committed to do here. The ERG for a year said that they would rely on the DUP to decide whether or not to vote for a deal. The usual papers spent ages taking about how Unionist concerns must be respected, that we couldn't sell out our British brothers in the North to the EU - to the IRISH - by agreeing some form of compromise dea that abandoned them to the Republic.

All of it was lies, as we now see. It is hilarious that it has happened to them, but the fact that it has happened must be milked for all that it is worth.
