because they have someone more attractive to them in mind?
is this TM buying support for her deal from hard brexiteers by giving them the opportunity to have one of their own steering the 2nd stage negotiations? -
• #19778
Logically thinking, it looks like that would be the conclusion, no?

Yes. Ironically some are arguing that she will have lost the support of remain/soft Brexit Tories who would be worried about a hard Brexiteer taking the reigns!

May can’t be removed from Downing Street because of her cat, apparently.

And that's why we need David Davis in charge

Gove now favourite to succeed May.
This was scary before but it's properly terrifying now.
-
• #19783
Gove's opinions on how the army handled the conflict in NI aren't exactly helpful either... To the extent he makes the DUP looking reasonable.
-
• #19784
He destroys everything he touches with ideologically driven vigour.

Sounds like enough of the ERG still won't back the deal. Its so deliciously ironic that they're the ones most likely to mean we end up staying. If the Beckett amendment passes tonight would it apply to May's deal?
-
• #19786
Beckett would apply to anything including WA. But it's only indicative, May could try to ignore it.

Interactive MP voting predictor from the guardian:

• #19788
What time does the voting happen?Edit: now, apparently. -
• #19789
So, who reckons none of the options will get a majority of the votes?
-
• #19790
Clarke’s/ Coopers might have a chance...?

I’m consumed with a ferocious rage after that pantomime [May in the
‘22] ...What is our liberty for if not to govern ourselves?
Like all of you I have wrestled with my conscience about what to do?
I could tear this place down and bulldoze it into the river.
These fools and knaves and cowards are voting on things they don’t
even understand.We’ve been put in this place by people whose addiction to power
without responsibility has led them to put the choice of No Brexit or
this deal.I may yet resign the whip than be part of this.
Safe to say that ERG deputy Steve Baker is not on board with MV3...

latest...Bill Cash is a fucking twat

Doesn't Mays thing mean that these votes are totally pointless? She's going to ignore them and make them vote for her deal regardless.
Presumably she'll use that trick (declaring a new parliament session or whatever) to get around Bercow banning her from doing so.
-
• #19794
Me. But isn't that partly the point - remove the weak ones, and then have a beauty contest on Monday to see if there is a majority for the stronger ones?
-
• #19796
The DUP aren't voting for May's deal (assuming it gets put to a third vote).
-
• #19797
wait... does this mean the DUP are the good guys now?
i'm so confused.
-
• #19798
Rees-Mogg will be spinning in his grave.
-
• #19799
Yeah it's a truly bizarre scenario where remainers are happy with the DUPs stance. Their statement implies there's zero chance of them ever supporting her deal, so chances of No Brexit rising....

• #19800
Getting more likely as the evening progresses?
Why not? I thought we held all the cards and it’ll be the easiest deal in history?
