Some in the ERG are now more interested in bringing down May and the government than they are in delivering Brexit. You are correct - it solves nothing. But their targets are now fixed.

They have to get passed the name calling and actually all agree to compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, even you have eased back on your intellectual criticisms recently, which was the point he was making. Yes he may well be of means himself, but he made sure to explain it wasn't purely material elitism, but the dismissive attitude they have of those who didn't share their view of the EU. It's been quite a show of blood letting at times today- perhaps this was needed; like a football team holding a no holds barred discussion in the changing rooms after a defeat. A clear the air, may help to pave the way for a more measured approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clear the air, may help to pave the way for a more measured approach. But the Brexiteers are just as bad and probably worse. They can't accept that the promises made in the election ranged from a number of them telling everyone "oh we won't need to leave the single market, don't worry about that" - its all there for historic record. I honestly think leaving is a mistake but we are where we are - and I'd hope politicians realise that. But shouting at each other won't help. Ultimately the Labour front bench has conceded more than practically anyone else - they dropped 2 of their red lines, more than the 2nd referendum lot, more than the ERG and more than the Tory front bench. As useless as Corbyn is I think if a few others would put a realistic proposal up and be up for dropping some red lines like they did, then we'd get somewhere....

The Lib Dems are hellbent on 2nd ref as are the SNP - the government can't even agree amongst themselves and the ERG seemingly are hellbent on bringing the government down. If there was just a collective effort to push this over the line with some compromise we might get somewhere less awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens, then Brexit is pretty much dead. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Just said then even if the labour mps who didn’t vote came to the fore, there wouldn’t based on today’s numbers, be enough to carry motion for 2nd referendum? So unless something changes then that’s dead for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no guarantee it goes to June. Only way that happens is IF her deal is agreed next week. Then EU will allow extension. If not she will ask for a longer extension that may not be granted especially as we’d need a good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Yeah I think it gets through next week as it is as you point out it’s last chance. ‘Now no deal has “sort of”gone this puts pressure on the ERG and the other brexit Evers etc that brexit may well disappear so she will leverage that point to get it through. It’s going to be tight though Edited March 14, 2019 by Escobarp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 14, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted March 14, 2019 A labour front bencher ignored her party's whip and voted against the ammendment which was for a second referendum. The whip was to abstain, and she's resigned. Another voted in each lobby, as a perverse way of abstaining. The vote against extending article 50 was higher than I expected too. Fascinating stuff.
