    The stars are aligned for conflict it seems. "PMQs was plunged into chaos after SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford was kicked out for repeatedly challenging Speaker John Bercow. MPs from the party walked out of the question session in protest, with many shouting as they left. Blackford called for the Commons to sit in private when he was called to ask a question during the weekly PMQs session."

    ''If she f**ks us, she's f**ked''. It's like something from a Quentin Tarantino film. Of course if she f**ks them she's f**ked. She's f**ked whatever. The UK hasn't planned for a no deal so it would totally broadside us .. but I hope the Express and Sun sink first before the rest of us :(

    Sarah Wollaston "the promised further amendment in the lords must closely reflect Dominic Grieve'a amendment (or the lords likely to bring that forward for themselves & for that to be passed)" If this is a charade - That's twice the governments fooled them : Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice ..

    Looks like there's a deal - but it's one you know May will twist. 5A and 5B of the Grieve amendment and talks on 5C - to be introduced in the Lords (allows parliament to direct after a specific date). Why not just vote for the Grieve amendment rebels - you can't trust this government.

    The lords amendment that might get through today is the "meaningful vote" Justine Greening with the rebels now on top of the minister that resigned this morning and Dominic Grieve has tabled a compromise amendment but the government through DD refusing to accept. Soubry (the main rebel along with Clarke) says death threats have been made ""Ms Soubry says the current environment means one MP had to attend a public meeting accompanied by six armed police officers. "This has to stop," she says. "

    That doesn't fit with the "Baby Boomer" theory though - although I know that's not the full story. Many of the big Cities voted remain (Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham). Is it the same people as those on the Tommy Robinson march - if so I have not much in common.

    The headline in the Express today is very provocative again. "Ignore the will of the people at your peril". Being owned by Trinity Mirror (now Reach) I thought they might be more responsible. *** Resignation Alert *** Phillip Lee resigns as Justice Minister https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2018/jun/12/brexit-no-10-rejects-last-minute-meaningful-vote-compromise-ahead-of-key-vote-politics-live

  17. It's being mentioned as Trudeau's 'love actually' moment. Trump has directed comment at the (other) war of 1812 - of course the americans started it :) http://theconversation.com/what-donald-trump-doesnt-know-about-the-war-of-1812-97997

    If I can read body language the UK is at the back of the queue for a US trade deal again.
  21. Trump totally blanking May at the G7 opening now. Merkel has a word. May looks lonely. Donald Tusk has turned up.
  22. I agree Mr Trump - the Maybot it goes on and on and on and on https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/07/donald-trump-tired-theresa-mays-school-mistress-tone-may-turn/

What the government is saying is beginning to sound more and more like something from Alice in Wonderland - what does the below mean ? are they accepting defeat is probable now ? As I understand it if TM loses the vote Parliament will direct what happens next (new vote, remain, leave with no deal) - she's not taking newly won parliament authority away. "The government has proposed a 28-day breathing space if parliament rejects Theresa May?s Brexit deal. The MPs have held their fire thus far in response to the compromise offer, though one said they believed it to be insubstantial. The amendment would bind the offer of a parliamentary vote into law, but remove the timetable laid down in a Lords amendment of how the government should respond to any defeat." "A spokesperson for the Department for Exiting the European Union said: ?Our amendment removes parliament?s ability to direct the government in relation to negotiations, which would set a huge constitution precedent in terms of which branch of the state hold prerogative to act in the international sphere.? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jun/08/theresa-may-to-hold-peace-summit-over-brexit-white-paperal

    But at the start of it I didn't know who Lush were and I didn't know about the Inquiry.

Everyone but I was going off the Guardian as always :) https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jun/06/customs-backstop-we-expect-a-time-limit-stresses-david-davis. apologies if I re-phrased it badly.
