Brexit: Theresa May to join EU summit after surviving vote
bbc.com ^ | December 13, 2018 | BBC

Theresa May is heading to Brussels for an EU summit, less than 24 hours after surviving a vote of confidence.

The prime minister is seeking legally binding pledges from EU leaders on the Irish backstop - a key obstacle for MPs who oppose her Brexit deal.

The EU will not renegotiate the deal but may be willing to give greater assurances on the temporary nature of the backstop, the BBC understands.

The PM won the ballot on her leadership by 200 votes to 117 on Wednesday night.

So nearly 2/3 of the Tories vote to keep her and what happens now? She has proved incapable of delivering any decent Brexit.... not that the EU drones are willing to give one.

If you follow the vote aftermath....it’s apparent that the vast number of Tories believe a marginalized BREXIT is better than no BREXIT deal. They now have until May of 2022 to make their case, or the Labour Party takes a significant win.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Brexit encore

MERRIE LAND
... We cheer on the clowns as they roll into town
But their faces look tired and sad to me
And carry the terrible things they have seen

All lost in a painting of a sky coloured oil
In this Merrieland...

THE TRUCE OF TWILIGHT
... Bring me my shell box and my submachine gun
Because you can’t get over anything quite like this
Where the water is darker than the mirror of the sky
And Demis Roussos playing “Forever” on the waterslide

Conscripted into ranks
Look what we have done
The feckless and the lazy
Look what we’ve become...

THE GREAT FIRE
Cubs make fires on the edge of the golf course
But there’s more of them than us now
And they have come to settle scores
So there’s bound to be altercations
On the B-road where they don’t fly the union flag...

RIBBONS
... I am the Mast horse riding out to war
I wear my ribbons white and blue
I am the arrow
Stinging in your side
I will never let you go

I am the last king
Standing on the hill
I wear my ribbons white, red and green
I am the visions
The night before the fair
When you don’t want me anymore
And you’re not there...

LADY BOSTON
... And where do I go now
And where does it seem to be free
Where do I go now
Where will you carry me

If I’m on the back
I’m on the back
I’m on the back of you...

Let the sellout continue.

The polling was that 63 percent of the Conservative Party voters wanted her out but that doesn’t translate inside “the caucus” of MP’s where a majority of the rank and file are bought and controlled by the leadership.

Still it was amazing that 117 of them (37 percent) opposed May.

EU extends sanctions on Russia over Ukraine

Tweeting from the EU summit in Brussels, Tusk wrote, “Decision: EU unanimously prolongs economic sanctions against Russia given zero progress in implementation of Minsk agreements.”
