... The prime minister does not believe any of the factions criticising her plan have enough support to get their own version of Brexit through Parliament.

By allowing them to put forward their proposals and vote on them, she is hoping they will be defeated and her plan will emerge by a process of elimination as the best and only alternative to leaving without a deal.

She will stop at nothing to get it done the way the EU wants it done which is also the way big business-banking entities want it.

IMHO, since the EU has refused to negotiate a “deal” with the UK in “good faith”, the UK should leave the EU “without a deal”. ASAP!

Maybe THAT hit to their over-fat wallets will teach the arrogant EU grandees in Brussels a lesson about the rights of the PEOPLE...

Or maybe not. Tumbrels, pitchforks and sharp, heavy blades may still be required...

Again...

What bloody options? Article 50’s been triggered. Last time I checked, Maastricht and Lisbon don’t allow for backsies.

"Last time I checked, Maastricht and Lisbon don’t allow for backsies."

The EU Court of justice issued a ruling that basically said that the EU could revoke article 50 without the votes of the other EU members. Essentially, the UK could ask for 'backsies' without anyone else voting on it.

imho it’s going to end up with BoJo counting down the clock to October 31 and making no preparations. Then the UK crashes out with a no-deal; Scotland votes for independence and Northern Ireland is left to RoI.
