Well, well and thrice well more farce with a vote of confidence planned on the morrow which will fail and time drags on which seems to be the plan of our lame duck PM who never lets her cabinet colleagues into her thoughts.
Our car industry could grind to a halt a matter of hours after March 29 and our betters in the Commons are more intent on scoring political points.

Let's be honest this was a very bad deal, but given that the UK had no plan, no bargaining position, no bargaining chips and zero leverage was probably the only deal that was possible at the time.
It is sad that MPs took this long to do their jobs and exercise their judgement, perhaps if they had done that almost 3 years ago we might not be in this mess; but that is history.
Be interesting to see what Tusk, Juncker, Barnier etc do now, if anything.

It's ok for you Kimberley being well stacked sorry I meant stocked with long life products to see you through the aftermath of a no deal exit from the EU, the likes of me and Brian will end up on a blanket near the HSBC cash points, with a borrowed dog for emotional blackmail purposes, with our hands stuck out for loose change.

So, a resounding defeat - by an even greater margin than was envisaged.
It's difficult to see what is next, beyond the extension of Art. 50 until July (which I consider as being inevitable now). I guess Jeremy Corbyn will eventually be dragged kicking and screaming to a people's vote.

The leader of the Commons "guarantees" no extension to the leaving date which is causing panic across Europe.

According to the BBC:
"She had spent two years negotiating the plan aimed at bringing about an orderly Brexit and setting up a 21-month transition period to negotiate a free-trade deal with Brussels.
Her deal included both the withdrawal agreement on the terms on which the UK leaves the EU and a political declaration for the future relationship.
But it faced opposition across Parliament, from MPs who want either
- a further referendum,
- a closer relationship with Europe,
- to stop Brexit altogether or
- the UK to leave without a deal."
Hmm, well, they can't all be right, so someone's going to have to blink!

1. We already voted, and the dead don't blink.
2. Ditto.
3. Ditto.
4. Looks like the only one of those options with its eyes wide open.
