It’s a big week for Brexit negotiations. On Tuesday, MPs will vote on Theresa May’s Brexit deal. The agreement was negotiated with the EU and remains virtually unchanged, despite being resoundingly voted down in January. Should that be rejected, there will be a second vote on Wednesday on whether to pursue a no-deal exit. If that fails, a third vote on Thursday will determine if Brexit should be delayed. As it stands, the UK is due to leave the EU on March 29.
Understanding what the 50s think about Brexit and what their perceptions are for a post-Brexit Britain are key — they were the demographic that pushed the UK to leave. The latest survey makes for interesting reading, and not just because those who voted Brexit would vote in the same way again, despite how things have transpired over the last 2.5 years. #brexit #pensions #business #voting https://lnkd.in/ePy6py8
With yet another vote in UK Parliament on what to do or not to do. Here a quick recap of where we are: #Brexit, Briefly: REVISITED! https://lnkd.in/e56PRdh
Voting down Theresa May’s deal doesn’t lead to No Deal — it leads to No Brexit, no democracy, no power in the?world
This week another vote on the latest deal will be likely rejected , then what? Resignations? General election? Leadership challenges on both sides? Going it alone doesn’t seem to be going so well...

BBC News - Brexit could be lost if deal rejected, Jeremy Hunt says... Good... happy to see Brexit cancelled and actually... as a lifelong Tory I am embarrassed by this shower of idiots. I will never vote Tory again though I will never vote Labour either... they are as pathetic as each other. We need a new and open political approach...
Put another way, when was the last time #MPs didn’t put self interest ahead of #politics ? #brexit shining the light on everything wrong with today’s politics.
“Another referendum, a delay beyond the European elections, taking ‘no deal’ off the table or not leaving at all would betray the 2016 People’s Vote and damage democracy and our party for a generation.” Parliament made three promises: 1. Parliament gave the choice of staying in the EU (with the reforms secured by David Cameron, the former Conservative Prime Minister) or leave. The United Kingdom went on to vote to leave with a margin of 1.2m votes. 2. Parliament triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty starting the clock on leaving the #EU, either under a withdrawal agreement or without a deal, at the end of the 2 year period set out in Article 50. 3. Parliament enacted the Withdrawal Act which set in law, we will be leaving the EU on 29 March 2019 at 11:00pm. Parliament has taken 3 decisive steps in its promise to fulfil the will of the people. One could argue, Conservative and Labour MP’s, by standing on manifestos pledging to leave the EU, gave a further promise to do so. If they now thwart #Brexit it will trigger a constitutional crisis - the people versus Parliament. MP’s are representatives of their constituents; not delegates. Being a politician is not a job; It’s public service.

#Brexit Chronology. Tues 12th-Withdrawal Agreement rejected by House of Commons. Wed 13th-HoC rejects ‘No Deal’ or WTO exit. Thu 14th-HoC votes to request 6mth extension from EU. EU consent to 4 week extension only. Longer extension seriously impacts Euro elections. UK not participating in Euro elections; UK seats reallocated to other countries. Fever pitch/panic politics dominate debate over potential No Deal. Remain favouring MPs table motion to force Gov’t to Revoke A50. May calls General Election, HoC in major quandary as voting for GE guarantees No Deal. Tories don’t want May leading party into next election; UK in political chaos.
