More of Nige's ''epic protest march''...

Does anyone know what the logic was in holding the march after the EU summit? I realise that the march had to be booked in advance, but the EU summits are known in advance too, and it was always felt that next week's summit could be a biggie for May in trying to squeeze something out of the EU. Marches are all about getting seen and being heard, so to hold the march before the summit surely would've made more sense than after...

True, but as Benn said yesterday, they will have another chance if May's deal is voted down again next Mon/Tues. Winning the Benn amendment wouldn't have made any difference in that respect as it would've kicked in on Wed. In fact there's a good argument that not winning the Benn amendment was a blessing in disguise, as had it won it could've spooked the ERG May's deal refusniks ahead of MV3. It's all about timings now, I also think Labour did the right thing not backing the 2nd Ref amendment yesterday...

Why do you say that John?...

Indeed, with all the focus pre-MV2 on the Backstop, that seems to have been lost. May's deal puts us over a negotiating barrel, if Brexiters think the EU have been tough up until now, they ain't seen nothing yet...

Banks/Wigmore's shenanigans enabling A50 to be revoked...oh the irony.

I wish politicians and pundits alike would stop saying that today's big vote, if won, would take No Deal off the table. It won't. It would confirm that there's a majority that don't want ND, but legally it's still there. The only way to remove the threat of ND is either to agree a WA or Revoke A50. An extension to A50 would merely move the legal default of ND from one date to another...

It's only difficult leaving the EU with a deal if you barricade your negotiating position with red lines that are at odds with the EU's 4 freedoms...

The EU moves in mysterious ways...:)
