    I've got respect for whichever way people voted with regard to BREXIT. Stood to one side, as I am, it's the process of getting out that I have found bemusing and to some extent the clarity of what getting out actually meant. I'm not laughing at the UK I've just got the point of thinking "where now?"

    May seems to be hoping for one more vote on her deal to swing it around, really?

    She might go for a 3rd vote and she might even win now the ERG know the game is up - but 75 is a big turn around especially if she has cabinet resignations/sackings after tonight and there maybe wind in the sails for getting a cross party softer Brexit.

    From the EU’s point of view, Deal is best and then extension whilst annoying still beats No deal so they would probably go for it

    The EU don't want an extension, Farage has asked them to reject the request, Verhofstadt has told the EU to reject it as well as he doesn't want an extension, not even for one day.

    May has gone back to Brussels with her tinplate in hand, on her knees to beg for more concessions, she just doesn't get it, which leads me to strongly believe she has an hidden agenda, which is why she's happy to betray the people and the UK.

    The vote to take the "LEAVE WITH NO DEAL" off the table was won by a majority of 4, which means Parliament is still evenly divided, but doesn't mean only the leavers voted to keep the "NO DEAL" on table.

    If there is no extension granted, then the UK will crash out of the EU on 29th March, and permanently leave the EU, which is the same as "LEAVING WITH NO DEAL".

    There is a big rally planned for the 29th March in London, somewhere near Big Ben I think, College Green was mentioned. They'll be celebrating our withdrawal from the EU, if not, for whatever reason/s, it will become a protest.

    It's becoming increasingly obvious that many remainers have changed their minds and want to leave, but many of our Polly Parrots are blind as bats, backstabbing betraying Bureaucrats, and 2 faced twats who ain't got a clue what's going to happen after we leave, but try very hard to convince us it will be disastrous.

    I don't think this woman knew what she was talking about.

    If we leave, and the people still have the same poverty, and still can't afford food, why is it, they have poverty, and can't afford food while we've been in the EU........she's obviously not a very good MP for her constituents.

    LeedsLover, the vote to take no deal off the table was passed with 43 votes, in a defeat for the Government.

    The vote you are referring to was just a vote on an amendment to the main vote, which was narrowly passed.

    I've been reading a bit around this and it appears as though she may not be able to put the same motion before parliament for essentially a third time - Sky News

    Farage was on sky news, he was asked if he’d asked the other MEPs to reject an extension, he said no he hadn’t and wouldn’t.

    You know what, maybe the best thing to do is withdraw article 50 and have a proper think about things before trying to leave the EU?

    Well the video was for those who might believe it as it showed the actual words coming out of his mouth and used the Express so it wouldn't be instantly dismissed as loony left by the racist right

    Trump on Brexit and the EU.

    Interesting how he mentioned renegotiating trade deals with EU countries.
