On Monday night, MPs voted in favour of Conservative backbencher Sir Oliver Letwin's cross-party amendment, which will allow MPs to put forward motions relating to Brexit - most likely a series of so-called indicative votes.

Because of this, MPs will be able to vote on a number of options on Wednesday - likely to include a "softer Brexit", a customs union with the EU and another referendum - designed to test the will of Parliament to see what, if anything, commands a majority.

I should imagine this has the potential to turn into a right royal shambles and the Commons may well end up showing the UK public how out of touch they are with them.

Attorney General Geoffrey Cox told a meeting of the Cabinet that failure to pass Mrs May's plan in the coming weeks would almost inevitably lead to an election.

Now that the lunatics have well and truly taken over the asylum there is the strongest possibility yet that May could well have the last laugh and call a snap election prior to riding off in the sunset for what she will no doubt feel is a well earned retirement from politics.

Hm. Yes.

https://fullfact.org/health/how-much...alth-costs-eu/

"The size of the difference between the amount the UK pays out and the amount it receives is partly because foreign citizens in Britain run up less than half as many costs which might be covered under these schemes as British citizens abroad. However, government studies suggest that the NHS is also simply failing to charge when it is supposed to – recouping only a fraction of what should be around £340m from other countries."

In short, British people abroad run up more health care costs than do EEA and Swiss people in the UK. As the NHS’s Paul MacNaught told the Commons Health Committee, this is largely a consequence of “the volume of UK insured pensioners living in other EEA countries compared with the volume of EEA insured pensioners living here.”

Facts? Who needs them when you have got hate?

Early news repots MayBot will name the date she steps down to get her withdraw deal passed. Fat chance the DUP is dead against it.

"Your so-called EU friends enjoy at our expense"?
Thank you Jim, we see how very special you are every day now, in the UK

And what a NONSENSE!
"UK pays Germany health care blah, and Germany pays UK blah"
Which is the source for this, UKIP?

How many Germans with german citizenship do live in the UK and are being cared for by german health care compared to Uk citizens living in Germany?
Who do you think does the UK pay in Europe, or Germany? It is UK citizens living here! Since they are UK citizens they are of course cared for by the UK health system.
Making up BS propaganda to make it look as if the UK gives money to Europe for nothing. God !

Some Uk people living here (and speaking of thousands alone in lower Saxony) have asked for german citizenship because they are unsure about the future after brexit, especially when it comes to health care. And it will then cost them more. Does that ring a bell for anyone ?

So this all has degenerated into a game about pure personal animsoities then? I mean her deal gets not voted for when she stays, but when she leaves, the very same deal with the very same cinditions get passed? Have they now lost all remaning marbles?

They steal breathing air.

You know just how bad matters are when you read articles like this.

Just imagine the UK stayed in the EU, and Rees-Mogg would have shifted his business to Ireland in vain

Pro brexit march: 350 signed up, 65 and a dog appeared, and the march was cancelled "due to security reasons". Everyone joining the march was requested to pay 50 pounds. (Farage has got his kids German passports to pay for after all).
Seems this pro-brexit march was a trojan horse from the EU. A conspiracy!

Got a laugh out of this:
