Apparently to avoid unnecessarily delay we have to reject a deal vote that has already been rejected (twice) and not allowed to be asked in the House again.

I doubt even the 'Yes Prime Minister' writers could make it up. Roll on the 29th.

Well well Sherarrdk, is that not convenient? 1 day after Brexit we have "military manoeuvres". Thank God for that. Whatever the newest name for them are. We live in "interesting times"
Consider this.

ie. Maybot needs help from the EUSSR because our troops may not agree with her visionary plans.

Interesting you two agree on that and agree what you don't want but are probably poles apart in what you do want. Sums up the problem

I don’t suppose anyone but me remembers a series of Crackerjack with Michael Aspel where each week at the end of a sketch he was presented with the same sandwich and asked to eat it. Each week the sandwich got mouldier and less appetising but each week back it came. Theresa May’s deal reminds me of that sandwich ..

Last time she “spoke to the nation” she ripped into the EU. Now she’s ripped into parliament. She is running out of people to blame.

'It's not me it's the bloody politicians'

Says the politician in chief.

Ich,it is staggering.Mrs May is completely and utterly blinkered.The public can see right through her.She agreed the deal and boxed herself in.She has seriously wound up MP's across parties to a new level.

Her incompetence and intransigence knows no bounds.

'Governing' by threat and blame.What a disgrace...

For what it’s worth, a yougov poll shows 61-39 for Remain v Sandwich, 57-43 for Remain v No Deal. At any rate it irks me to be lumped in by the PM as one of the people instructing her to leave the EU.

///"" states that top civil servants in Whitehall have been “gaming a state of emergency and even the introduction of martial law in the event of disorder after a no-deal Brexit” (leaving the EU with no trade deal agreed).
Robert MacFarlane, the deputy director of the Civil Contingencies Secretariat, is identified as being involved in discussions on the use of powers “to deal with national emergencies such as acts of war and terrorism”—part of no-deal contingency planning known as Operation Yellowhammer.
Top civil servants would use the sweeping powers embodied in the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, introduced by the Labour government of Tony Blair.
“Curfews, bans on travel, confiscation of property and, most drastic, the deployment of the armed forces to quell rioting are among the measures available to ministers under the legislation,” the newspaper writes. “They can also amend any act of parliament, except the Human Rights Act, for a maximum of 21 days.”///

Which begs the question "How on Earth did this country allow itself to become enmeshed with politicians and civil servants envisage the above being necessary (or even considered) if we leave?" Ye Gods!
