Me start a petition? very funny. You lot can keep on getting excited thinking that a petition will overturn a referendum. Leadsom already addressed a question on it earlier in the house. Straight answer saying they would take notice of it if it reached 17.4m.

Laughable that people are signing something that there will already be a debate on if it comes to that point next week. They will have achieved nothing. If the deal goes through it won;t get debated. If it doesn't go through then next step I would think is debating a longer extension and a referendum. If they get voted against there will undoubtedly be something about nodeal vs revoke before the leaving date. Won;t be because of a petition.
I think it’s probably Leadsom who keeps crashing the website, she must be ****ting herself.

Hopefully, as you say, the Remain supporting majority in the HoC revokes Article 50 next week, it’s the only sensible option left.

I doubt Leadsom or most other leavers give much thought to it. Fastest growing petition or not. This petition has already been done in 2016. It got 16.14million that time.....in one day!!! Will this one get that many over 6 months?

Same old tripe, Imps. The polls all say that there is no majority for Leave under any circumstances now, irrespective of what happened 3 years ago. The public know an awful lot more about the pros and cons now, and Remain would win a huge majority.

Just under 2,000 signing per minute now the site is back up, up to 1,130,000 now.

So should reach 17.4m just after the deadline to leave then!!!
 
The polls, the polls, ermmm, no change, same as was, and the result as was did not match the polls:

the crash out without a deal vote is up to 3 now. There are some Daily Mail readers who would like to vote but their grandchildren won't tell them how to turn their phones on.

There was a "no deal" petition ages ago but unlike this one it was put up when it didn't really matter and it didn't get non stop promotion on the BBC.
 
Do you feel like you’re winning Imps? I don’t see many winners at all

At this point in time there are no winners. If they vote the deal through, no-one wins. If they go out without a deal, remainers will be upset. If they revoke they will destroy the strength of democracy and trust for a generation at least.d

Whichever way it goes now I can see dodgy parties springing up (on both sides) and people voting for them because the LibLabCon has shown it's contempt for the people in this debacle.

I have a very big nose and it will take some holding but it will be held. Whether that be the Corbyn nuke button or something worse is still to be decided.

So it’s all going well then, as confidently predicted by the like of Fox, Gove, Boris etc?
