Waiting for Brexit

Today, the Commons debated and then voted on MV3, to pass just the WA as it stands.

May lost by 58 votes.

She now plans a new vote next week. But I don't think the Speaker will allow her.

But, what does this mean?

May was trying, bit by bot, to remove any choices other than no deal or her deal. Had the Ayes carried it today, it would have ended any chance of elections or a people's vote.

Just her bad WA or the devastating no deal.

MPs saw through this, though for a time with the ERG spit badly, it seems she might carry the day. But Some Labour MPs who normally voted with the Government changed sides. And the DUP voted against, though Mogg and Johnson both contradicted what they said earlier in the week and voted for the deal.

Brexit is now going to happen on April 12th, unless something remarkable happens.

1. No deal.

2. Revoke A50.

3. Request a longer extension.

The Commons is back in charge of the order paper on Monday, so, let's see what that brings.

May is to address the nation this evening, most hacks are down the pub having heard way too many of her speeches.
