The 'moderates' have put May's deal back on the table? What a week.
The passing of the Kinnock Amendment means that Theresa May's Withdrawal Agreement is back on the table.
Well, well, well...
Would then have to be voted again by the Commons I believe, so wouldn't be ideal. Doesn't seem to actually do anything though so no biggie.Can the Lords strip the Kinnock amendment?
Nothing like this in my lifetime Elver. Even the BBC's lost the plot. 'MPs vote to block no-deal brexit'. No they haven't, they've voted to ask for an extension which they probably wouldn't get anyway.Not sure,@711 is old

He does understand, he's just pretending not to.Boris doesn't understand the bill he's bought the viral nonsense that we have to accept any extension the EU proposes.
It doesn't
Thats the problem, all Johnson has to do is hold an election after the bill has RA and if he wins, which unfortunately i think he would, cease all negotiations with the EU and wait for January 31st to pass. If the Tories have a big majority, then theres pretty much nothing the commons can do barring a huge rebellion.Nothing like this in my lifetime Elver. Even the BBC's lost the plot.

Farage is worryingly quiet amongst all of this.

Per a Commons clerk:Am I mis-reading this? Seems like it could become quite significant later.
So basically, it doesn't matter what this bill says, if the Tories win an election with a big majority, they can do what they like and Labour would have to sit and deal with it?If the tories have a big enough majority, I believe they could leave any date providing they can get it through the house.

Great from Clarke.
Would be interesting to think where the conservative party would be (and the country ) if Clarke had won the leadership instead of the pig fekerGreat from Clarke.
