BREXIT |OT3| I'd Rather Be Inert in a Ditch

If the Labour politicians really are that dumb it really is best to get this shit over now as soon as possible, we're not going to survive anything in the actual negotiations or the next several years. I don't understand why Labour don't want to be elected how the fuck are they this dumb.
how many times, brexiter labour mps labour is whipping against this deal
To be fair, overall it's a very small number of Labour MPs thinking about voting for the deal. The vast majority of the votes going against the deal are from Labour MPs. It's just that with the numbers so tight, a small number of rebel MPs can make all the difference.
It's leaver MPs using this lie to do what they wanted to do anyway. They are banking on people being ignorant and the media not challenging them.
That and I suspect they're trying to build the image where they can say they ~compromised~ and 'achieved' something, unlike stodgy old Corbyn, even if it's the political equivalent of buying a bridge.
Aye, no doubt true. I hope this holds no water with their local parties, this is a deselection issue now.
Gosh I hope the DUP come tomorrow and call this the Surrender Agreement before having Ian Paisley Jr bellow NOOOOO SURRENDERRRRRR to their fellow conservatives.
That'll pull the Tories out of it and kneecap Boris entirely. It's the only play for DUP.

It's still close but enough labour MPs seem willing to throw away their career for it.
Which seems crazy to me because the Letwin amendment is projected to pass so the vote on the deal itself doesn't actually matter at all
You know what, maybe we deserve this.
I don't know what we did that could possibly be bad enough to deserve it... but it must have been a fucking doozy.

It's called the British Empire. As Jez from Peep Show would say we did a bad thing
Everything is a bit up in the air at the moment. Crucially, there is the Letwin amendment which could play a huge role:
All sorts of outcomes are still possible.
Can the Brexit deal and the Letwin amendment both pass? And if so, what happens?
The amendment effectively becomes the what is finally voted on if it passed.
I'm looking forward to the fireworks. Shame those ERG fuckers who turned their backs on the Union.
I assume labour would be telling Flint and Co they are out for supporting such flimsy so called promises on workers rights.
I didn't think this shit show could possibly get worse but here we are. This worries the hell out of me and I left England years ago, can't imagine how you lot are feeling.
Stay strong UK Era

The Letwin looks to have thrown a huge spanner in the works in regards to how serious the main vote is tomorrow. Well it's still serious, but the finality of it seems to have been reduced if all the necessary legislation then needs to go through both Houses/request an extension for that to happen?
Nah I need this to fill in the gap until Liverpool & United on Sunday.

Honeslty, we probably deserve any amount of suffering after a couple of centuries of Empire. What did we not do? Concentration camps in Africa, targeted starvation in Bengal, genocide after genocide in English administered teritories, war crime after war crime, slavery and every kind of horror on a global scale. And we glorify that history.
You and I are not directly responsible for that, but fuck, I dont want any part of it. Not even indirectly
.
Yeah, the Benn Act would trigger (the deadline for a deal is today now that it's Saturday, lol) so Boris would have to request the Article 50 extension as detailed in that Act. Then there would be amendments too before the withdrawal agreement is finally approved - perhaps an amendment seeking a referendum on the withdrawal agreement for instance?
(just a fool's hope?)
They'd better bloody vote in favour of the Letwin amendment though!
Edit: just thinking, if Letwin amendment passes, withdrawal agreement gets the votes it needs, confirmatory referendum amendment put forward, DUP ordered by loyalist groups to stop the withdrawal agreement to 'preserve the union', do DUP now put their votes in favour of a referendum and campaign against the withdrawal agreement?

I left the UK in 2011 and I feel the same way. I think we are spared from much of the pro-brexit media that appears to be prevalent in the UK. Literally everyone here in Aus is like "WTF are your lot doing leaving the EU?", no one thinks it's a good idea.
Only positive is that when I go home next year my AUD will be worth a lot more, I'd rather they weren't.
It's possible. The DUP aren't going to be swayed by money, with the UDA/UVF getting involved the DUP will be more concerned with not pissing them off.
Oh please, just end this farce...anyone!
This is such a fucked up and dumb situation.
Noone in the EU wants the UK to leave and anyone in their right mind in the UK doesn't want to leave the EU, especially not with a shit deal for the UK (which is the best possible outcome), nevermind a no-deal scenario.
Someone really has to step up and, I guess, defy the "will of the people" for their own good. "The people" aren't worth listening to when their reasoning is completely gone because of racism and unbased fear.

This whole business is mad. Imagine a soothsayer telling you all this in 2015.
Christ, awake at 5:45 with no alarm. The stress is real.
Fuck Caroline Flint, always voting against her party. Kinnock can get in the sea too. There needs to be genuine consequences for their fuckery.

Because the media will fall over themselves to call right wing twats whatever lame vaguely romantic names they come up with for themselves.
See the truly grating using of the word 'brexiteer' to invoke images of musketeers over the last 4 years.
