There was reported an interesting ( well, I thought it was) observation by a Chinese UK national. She was saying that the commentary and narrative in China from those who are watching Brexit unfold ( something of an enigma to them apparently!!) has turned to the idea that this chaos, the turmoil, this is what makes a healthy democracy ? That politics SHOULD be like this...?
**** yeah...!

R-M just said that 160 of the MPs who voted for May were 'in the pay' of May by being trade envoys or cabinet members. He's a hypocrit. Bet he's taken a few back handers in his time, no ulterior motive... Lol

Can the Conservative Parliamentary Party please have a vote of no confidence in that bell end JRM. I bet he has managed to make a few quid as well for his trust out of all this unnecessary carnage.

I didn’t know you could still get double breasted suits. The slick hair and suit is almost Luftwaffe in appearance which, I’d strongly suggest, is not a good look.

I see a trend developing.

First, Lloyd Russell-Moyle (Labour MP) grabs the Parliamentary Mace in a show of petulance, then Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative MP) loses the Vote of No Confidence against his party leader and also in a show of petulance says she must now offer her resignation.

So, R-M Labour, R-M Conservative, and both behaving like spoiled brats.

Well, I suppose it shows some degree of balance in the House.

So May stays, Brexit will be voted against in Parliament.

It's too late to get a new deal from Europe, therefore we'll stay in. Article 50 rescinded.

Three years of boll0cks. For nothing. Thank you Cameron.
i can see it playing out this way too as i dont think "no deal" will be allowed to transpire.

May was only a swing of around 42 votes away from half of her party having no confidence.......not good.

Whether those immediately above disapprove of JRM's manner, appearance and beliefs is hardly important. Such comments are somewhat childish. His knowledge of Parliamentary practise is second to none and he's quite right - in normal circumstances a vote against a PM of this number would lead to resignation. Admittedly, these are not normal times, however, the point made remains the same. The "ordinary" backbenchers have made clear their objections to TM's plans. Will she listen - probably not.

I sometimes think he has to only take one more step and he’ll be Oswald Mosley or Bertie Wooster.

JRM does have one more option, a vote of no confidence in the Government in Parliament. The Conservative party has proven it’s not beyond the blinding stupid when it wants to self destruct.

And a swing of only 2.1% in the referendum would have avoided all this. What's good for the goose...

As for a rebellion of this size in the no confidence vote meaning Mrs May should resign, that might be the case if there was even one credible candidate to take over and negotiate a different deal but there is not.

And a gathering of the MPs of the presently governing party to effectively decide who is PM at this critical time is hardly implementing the will of the people.

If she suffers a no confidence vote in the House itself that would have legitimacy but the answer should then be a general election and who knows what the electorates response to that might be.
