Withdrawal Agreement

PM hopes EU will scrap “backstop” in return for unspecified commitments. If it wasn’t so serious, one would think this was one of his jokes.

May says MPs who want a new referendum should vote for her legislation and try to amend it. They have better ways to enforce their will.

Labour leader shouldn’t play her game unless she agrees to put to the people whatever Parliament proposes.

If PM doesn’t want today’s defeat to be the last gasp for her deal and tear the Tory party apart, she should put it to the people.

This is a cynical gamble and a leap in the dark. What’s more, it is not in line with the Article 50 rules. MPs should not be tempted.

Having failed twice to pass her deal, May now wants MPs to approve just half the deal - without the faintest idea of the future.

PM attacked very MPs she needs to pass her deal, in grotesque bid to pitch people against Parliament. This is what losing control looks like.

PM talks of finding “honourable compromises”. What’s honourable about backroom deals, pandering to hardliners and selling out UK?

Next week’s EU summit giving only short extension, even if it’s for May’s deal, is very risky. More time and proper thought is needed.

After MPs voted down her deal again, PM mentioned a new referendum as an option. Corbyn didn’t. Hopefully, Labour leader isn’t backsliding.

Eleventh-hour spectacle shouldn’t impress MPs. May is still nowhere close to changes Brexiters want, or even what she promised.

Pundits are focussing on Tuesday’s vote on the deal and Thursday’s on delaying Brexit. But Wednesday’s vote on “no deal” is significant too.
