Brexit deal vote day: May facing huge defeat and vote of no confidence in the government

Theresa May is heading for a crushing defeat on Brexit vote D-day in the Commons, despite a series of last-minute appeals to rebel Tory MPs to back her EU withdrawal agreement.

Senior MPs are predicting a defeat for the prime minister of between 100 and 200 votes, which is likely to be followed by Jeremy Corbyn calling a vote of no confidence in the government.

Mrs May's allies insist that whatever the scale of the defeat she has no intention of quitting or calling a general election, but she will come under enormous pressure to unveil a Brexit Plan B.

On the eve of the historic vote, the prime minister appealed to MPs during a Commons statement to take a "second look" at her agreement, despite admitting it was not perfect and was a compromise.

Then, in an emotional speech to Conservative MPs that was described by her supporters as a "bravura performance", she urged them to "keep Jeremy Corbyn as far away from No. 10 as possible".

Just so. I read up on it from wikipedia, but it is a bit convoluted.

“.......she urged them to “keep Jeremy Corbyn as far away from No. 10 as possible”.”

She should have thought of that when ignoring the will of her voters.

The British monarchy is one of Western civilization’s last historic vestiges of tradition and pre-modern statehood. Sorry you don’t feel that way Mr. Bolshevik.

Sadly, that is an excellent rendering of the facts, there.
