    The problem for the DUP is that how this deal is constituted then Stormont would be in control. Sinn Fein in concert with a few smaller parties could then outvote them. The fear would be a gravitation towards the Republic.

    A handful of Labour MP's may support it., Kate Hoey, John Mann, Caroline Flint. I doubt that a lot of those who had the whip withdrawn by Pfeffel will support it though.

    Even if Corbyn liked the deal he would still say it was crap and won't back it. He will do anything to discredit the Tories.

    The Tories don’t need anyone’s help to be discredited.

    Agreed but I can't stand Corbyn either. He's just as bad as Johnson.

    Corbyn has his faults but he’s not a convicted criminal or a proven liar, or a serial philanderer or a racist.

    As I said before, the problem is that even if this passes there simply isn’t time to enact all the necessary legislation before the 31st, in which case leaving with no deal is the default option. That cannot be allowed to happen, so every MP who is opposed to No Deal has to reject this deal.

    As I say to others, who make similar comments, list your reasons, without repeating the disproved lies that are regularly written or spoken by the right wing media.
    If you get above 2 you will be leading.

    Farage is rubbishing the deal, which is actually good news in terms of the upcoming GE.

    If Johnson's deal is rejected then the blame lies fairly and squarely with the DUP!! Hope the Express recognises what a treacherous person Arlene is and put her to the metaphoriccal sword. But they Will balme the Lib Dems, Labour, SNP, PC, the Greens and the 21 ex Tories for the sabotage. Anyone but the real culprits who are the DUP and the ERG Conservatives.

    Firstly he's a hypocrite. He's been calling for a general election for months and then the first opportunity he gets he rejects the chance. Either put your money where your mouth is or shut up. And as far as Brexit is concerned he's simply trying to block it rather than come up with alternative options apart from a second referendum. He's more concerned about his own political career than he is about the country. There's a reason why Labour aren't winning general elections. He's a knob and he's damaging Labour as a whole. I refuse to vote Labour while he's in charge.

    As if Johnson and the ERG didn't block Brexit in the first place!!! Add to that the DUP. They are trying to block Brexit and go against the "will of the people."
