If she brings back her deal for a 3rd time - it's an utter farce.
Not that it isn't already of course.

Wonder if we'll see more of this from celebrities as it gets closer.
I never thought I'd live in a world where Eric Dier was the voice of reason.
Isn't he half Portuguese or something?
I think hes only English, but he did grow up in Portugal.
To be fair, on the night of the referendum Lindsay Lohan was the voice of reason..
Tusk is reportedly open to a 2 year extension. I hope this happens, then we can force a people's vote and put all the Brexit bullshit to bed.

How does the DUP feel about this? Will it impact their relationship with May?

Did he actually misspell his own name on Twitter?
Good spot.Parody account surely.
oh yeah, it's not verified. I was hoping it was serious.
From the FT:
Sounds to me like hes alluding to us finding a way to cancel the whole thing.
The EU has repeatedly said they wont allow an extension if all we're going to do is continue to faff around along current lines.
I am not a Brexiteer but those who I know who are say that this is a key reason to vote leave.
It is a philosophical issue. A number of British people simply don't want to be ruled by anyone else. While they don't necessarily like their political leaders they at least feel they have some control via the GE.
This though is very much a generational view with younger people far less concerned about this.
Rightly so. Lets black ball brexit. It was a shit idea 2 years ago and has only proven itself to be a turd. The only reason either political party is entertaining it is because they don't want to risk losing a significant chunk of the votes of 17.4 million idiots to ukip or the other side.
Or more aware of how the structure of the EU actually works?
So which way would the so called peoples vote need to go to do that.
Meaningful Vote 3 on Tuesday apparently. No doubt to be followed by Malthouse draft C version 3.1.
So asking the people to take part in a 2nd referendum on something different to the first one, is undemocratic.
But asking Parliament to vote, for a third time, on the same thing is?

Yes exactly and more open minded.
But surely this proves to them that the UK are deciding their own fate, it's their choice. The Uk parliament can't decide what it wants.
Headlines like in the Express still going on about EU bullies is ridiculous.
The UK can leave whenever it wants - all it has to do is be responsible for its actions.
One gets the impression that they don't really want to leave because deep down, even hard Brexiters realise that it will be an unmitigated disaster but don't want to admit it.
What a load of utter horseshit, we aren't ruled by Europe.
If all of Europe sets the same standards on various issues, it makes it far more easy to trade with each other.
People might moan about such things like car emissions/safety standards, but if the whole of Europe is working to the same rule book, then we can sell one type of car all over Europe. In any case, if we want to trade in Europe, we will still have to follow all the European standards, in the same way we have to follow US standards to trade with the US. Remember all those appalling impact bumper cars of the 70s, and much tougher emissions standards started in the US too.
I'd like to know what it is that Europe is forcing us to do that we would really rather not do and we can do better ourselves? British Governments have consistently shown a complete inability to govern the country.
The way it should have gone all along. Withdrawal Agreement agreed by hoc and then put to people against remain on ref.
It is utter horseshit but Buster is right - many middle aged and older people do think this. It might be utter bollocks but they do think it.
Even if it were true, which it isn't, I have no idea why anyone would prefer our shower of shit being in charge.
And yet talk about the union and they're all proud of our kingdom and oversees territories. If a country should dictate its own laws we should be granting independence far and wide.
If we get a 2 year extension, what happens to the blue passports.
Answers on a post card please

Hopefully Labour whip to support Benns indicative vote amendment. They've ruled out tabling a second ref amendment today but they have to support indicative votes so that a route towards a peoples vote can be found next week.
Nothing
Another uneducated question...
Are they going to be voting again on the exact same thing they voted on yesterday? With nothing changing?
Please don’t tell me that’s actually what’s happening?

It also (I think) helps May politically for him to suggest that's the case? May is essentially going to offer MPs a choice: short delay + her deal or long delay + european elections + potential referendum/revocation/whatever.
As such even if the EU are in fact extremely reluctant to see a long extension (which they're bound to be) and see no liklihood of the UK actually cancelling the whole thing, it makes sense for the likes of Tusk to hype the possibility of that happening?
They will probably keep voting on it until it finally passes.
If we get a 2 year extension, what happens to immigrants and the £350m we send to the EU instead of the NHS?
I'd like the answers on a blue postcard please.
Oh fair enough. Delighted then she lost!
I've also heard that point of view, but it doesn't make sense.
Everyone can vote to choose their local MP. In our Tory constituency our candidate always loses, but we don't feel we haven't had a say. Similarly, we all have a vote for our region's MEP. I know that many people just don't bother voting for a European representative, but that doesn't mean they haven't had the chance to have their say.
UK turnout for the last 2 European elections was around 35%. That shows how massively important most people think it is. But now, suddenly the UK is under the giant European thumb and we should leave at all costs.
edit - I have to conclude that some people don't like the idea of being "ruled" by foreigners, which is ironic considering the British Royal Family is basically German and Greek.
Those arguments are paper thin nonsense.
Though I’m sure you’re not offended to hear that given you’re not actually a brexiteer. *wink*
I'm sure you know it but they can have blue passports anyway, it's not compulsory to have a red one. Croatia doesn't.
