BBC radio literally just cut off the opposition response. Balance for you

So when is the new vote?
So she's calling everyone bluff (again)?
What's going to change? I'm no expert but surely the question now turns to replacing her or backing her.

I honestly don't know what she (or anybody else) could do though.
When the house is split pretty much into thirds on which way to go there is no way forward. I actually agreed with her speech when she tried to explain that for this to work everybody will have to compromise and without that it doesn't matter if it is May, Mogg or Corbyn - none of them would get a majority at the moment.
Corbyn's expression as May sat down. "This bitch.."
Yep, it's complete deadlock and it was always going to be this way. Of course the opposition are going to reject the deal - they are the opposition.
I like this speaker. Indian ones are spineless
It's a clear fallacy as proven by stats and highlighted in that report. "The Scots aren't racist but the English are" is a dangerous myth and one that gets fuelled by the rhetoric of the likes of the SNP when they claim that culturally Scotland is more welcoming than other parts of the UK. It's simply not true and it's also hardly progressive to tap into that sort of nationalist and divisive thinking.
Pound going down again.
speaker pretty adamant they "should" have a vote on pulling the vote
dunno - I was listening on 5 live - they cut the speaker off (after the full lot of fluff from corbyn)
It keeps getting more and more shambolic. The Tories really need to put her out of her misery and send her on her way. This is no way to govern.
Bercow is brilliant
Thanks switched, had world service on.

Someone of reddit said he really needs his own entrance music. *glass breaks*
Definitely not, the country is divided and only when the reality of Brexit hits will it be divided further. Remain would keep some division certainly, your right that brexiteers will never get over it, but not increase it.
She had a great deal to do with bringing about that gridlock though... She didn't have to make leading brexiteers important cabinet members or promise things she could not deliver.
Someone else might face the same situation but find a better way forward. At this point SHE is the main reason why things are where they are. People pointing at Cameron have a point but it's been two years of clusterfeck now.
It would be surprising if another letter or two doesn't go in after today. How a Tory leadership campaign would affect all this is mind-boggling. I don't know if she would remain as leader, and PM, until an election were held or not. Presumably she would be powerless in any case. Anyone?
No one knows this is historic stuff. They should just hand over to the cross-party brexitee committee and let them negotiate, it's what she should have done on this issue to start with.
Kirsty Blackman.. impressive speaker
She sounded like she wanted to cry after Cable's threat of supporting the no confidence vote.
She's absolutely brilliant. She destroyed May.
One to watch for the future to replace Sturgeon.
May thinks her problem is just about the backstop. Even if she was able to resolve that, which she won't, there'll be plenty of other problems.
Love Skinner.
May is fecking awful
It was a brain dead decision to go for a public vote on an issue like Brexit. Thanks David
Let Hilary Benn do it you mean? It's a thought.
Come on parliament, make sure it goes to motion and force her to have it rejected.

I've loved Skinner over the years but that one went down like a cockney at the Glasgow Empire. There was a moment of complete silence.
FRIT = Frightened. She did seem shaken by that.Did anything he just said make any sense to you?

Yeah I couldn't make head nor tail of what he was trying to say.. looked like a drunk on his deathbed.
Bunch of fecking clowns
Jesus christ, we're onto pantomime shit now. Parliament being grown up as always..
Perhaps, but what she's got on the table isn't worth anything. Brexiteers aren't going to vote for it, and Remainers certainly aren't. I think she basically has to go, she's spent the last two years issuing nonsense statements like the one today and come up with nothing.
