    Theresa May may need a vote to enable her to delay the vote (depending on Bercow's mood :)). She'll probably lose the vote.

    Tommy Robinson-Yaxley-Lennon in London tomorrow with the leave protesters. Sadly I'd be surprised if there wasn't some kind of trouble.

    We have a new first minster in Wales (a Corbynista) ... is it a sign "Mark Drakeford is expected to be confirmed as First Minister on Wednesday next week after Mr Jones tenders his resignation to the Queen next Tuesday." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-46471728

I hadn't seen it - now I have and I still find it difficult. Never mind why Campbell and Mogg were in a cafe together in the first place (but if it was a news interview that explains that)

    Not even sure I believe some of this from @campbellclaret :) "One of those memorable moments in life. In a cafe with @Jacob_Rees_Mogg An NHS consultant comes over, tells us the story of how his German wife, a Doctor, left him because he voted Leave (which he did because he thought it would mean more money for the NHS). Heartrendingly sad"

    "Leadsom, the leader of the House, said any MP who had ambitions of being in government at some point in the future would ?live to regret? the contempt vote that forced the government to publish its full Brexit legal advice." The government still haven't got the message :)

They need someone to check the queue with the parcel list (triage type thing) if the queues are going to remain this long.

    Another amendment in similar to Hilary Benn but supported by some of Theresa May's backers and the Nick Boles faction (Norway+). Again about parliament instructing Theresa May.
  13. Pause and re-examine I'd say as something hasn't worked - is it the system or has the government used the introduction of a new system to claw back money.

    So whats the current likely scenarios if Theresa May loses her vote May deal fails - Hilary Benn has an amendment to ensure no deal is blocked - might pass might fail. May has 21 days to re-submit something - I hear she may even submit the same thing (after a market/financial crash) Corbyn will submit his no confidence motion (expected to fail but DUP are unpredictable) Labour move to support a peoples vote (but there isn't time before end of march) ..

    I've got a headache as a non lawyer - seems like Catch 22 - and even more so if for some reason (a second vote) A50 got revoked. :)

The independent article distinguishes won't and can't We still assume the government won't revoke article 50. ?To reiterate, for the avoidance of any doubt, the Supreme Court proceeded in the Miller case on the basis that Article 50 would not be revoked but did not rule on the legal position regarding its revocability."

    Sky just said it looks like the EU court advocate general agrees that Article 50 can be withdrawn unilaterally. A hint towards how the court will rule.

Edit: or maybe I should go the whole hog and go Apple LOL (Joking - not starting that)
  20. Hmm something was done in the summer https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/lost-peck/
