Brexit was a cross party vote I'm informed ?

See sterling heading upwards, someone knows something ,rumours that May's deal is being flexed .
Don't think it is that. Extension of Article 50 seems likely allowing for some better options and crushing the possibility of no deal. Odds on Betfair exchange of leaving on 29th March is 4/1, that doesn't sound like a deal likely to be voted through to me...
“My father, Reginald Francois, was a D-day veteran,” he thundered to the news cameras on Friday, shortly before ripping up the aforementioned document. “He never submitted to bullying by any German. Neither will his son.”
Surely even some of those of a pro-Brexit persuasion must be embarrassed by this sort of shite from one of their standard bearers. (Or maybe not...)
Brexit solved :
Irish ministers have dismissed a suggestion from a radio presenter that the best way to end the Brexit impasse is for an “Irexit” which would see the country leave the EU to join the UK.
So if I’ve got this right today May tells her party to vote against deal she proposed?
Whether leave or remain this is a national ****ing embarrassment
That's how I read it ,loved the bit when JC said article 50 would have to be extended , because of the vast of amounts of legislation and amendments of which Labour has played a heavy part of to actual create the very reason of delaying everything , clever stuff .
Yvette Cooper did well today however its a high risk strategy as her seat is for Brexit , and a lot of Labour voters may not take her strategy amendment very well ,is she now the proxy Labour leader ??
May's ability to stand calm and still isn't such a good thing if it means the DUP and ERG take control and screw up the union though. She's been let down badly by her party, up until this point, and has continued on yes, but we're now more likely to crash out (EU's position on backstop is fixed, May finally has a majority but it's saying remove the backstop, and there is some piffly request to avoid no-deal) and presumably end up with Michael f'ing Gove as PM.
Article 50 should happen now that May has a majority in Westminster backing her deal and next step is negotiating with EU. Enacting it before this point was in part what lead to this mess and MPs rejecting extending it tonight appears on the surface to be reinforcing that mistake.
At least we have the good result(s) in the football to distract ourselves.....
Do I win a prize if the current EU deal is not the only deal after all? It would mean a hard Brexit if they stick to their word, so surely they have something planned for May to save the day?
Agreed, you try to defend your side against what you consider to be unfair criticism, but what she did is on another level to party politics and she proved herself to be unfit for the job while also offering a justification for the way many feel about modern day MPs.
As for Theresa May's "triumph", surely, given their deep divisions over Brexit, it's just yet another case of Conservatives putting the need of the party over the need of the country? It may work, but it seems typically arrogant that they, and the group from Northern Ireland who are going against the way their country voted, appear to believe that a vote against the backstop means that all of the previous problems have, somehow, disappeared.
