Current Affairs EU In or Out

Looks like they're trying to bring back the exact same vote on Monday, but Bercow is going to decide on Monday whether this is allowed or not, it usually isn't

Even the Brexiteer element here must surely be asking themselves why this Government is so reluctant to actually have a vote on the legislation it apparently wants to bring.

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.

It can done by pointing out that Johnson is a liar for the reasons you state without Labour putting it's arms around DUP.

Using terms like 'Sell Out' gives ammunition to their cause and could provoke a reaction on the ground in NI from the unionist populace. I can almost hear them say already " See ? Even the Labour Party agrees we've been sold out". The use of language means everything here.

It does, but my point there was that the Tory-supporting media had used that sort language about the backstop or other rumoured compromises (not that Labour should use it).

I should say though that it is an accurate statement of what the British government has done here.

What the hell.

So the mps asked for a delay but Johnson said no. Eu might say no to a delay. Please someone enlighten me on the situation? Thanks.

When the match commentator on 5 Live mentions the vote numbers during the game, I gather it must be important but beyond that, I am struggling to keep up.

Tell your boy to get an extension sorted so we can have one then.

No

Without some way out of this, it isn't.

They may have sold out the DUP, but they haven't sold out NI as the DUP are trying to claim. All the other parties in NI (who represent the majority of people) are cautiously supportive of the NI element of this deal, but their first preference is still that the whole thing is stopped via either an election or a referendum or both.

Yup.
