tbf I can already see the papers spinning this as a case of the EU being obstinate.

#439

Jumping out ahead of time with the statement isn’t great optics, but they must be a bit frustrated at this point and know that the UK press will give them a shoeing no matter what, so frankly, why not?

#440

May says that this is a “serious proposal” and that she is engaging with it “sincerely and positively”.

#441

Debate is ending, time for votes soon. Our in-house poll upthread currently reckons no amendments will pass, or perhaps Brady and Cooper. What will happen? Time will tell.

#442

Yer man Macron has just reiterated the EU don’t give a fuck about the Brady amendment.

Amazing that we’re in this position… Three years later, the Tories still constantly reiterating this is some bullshit party infighting bollocks. And yet still on a par with their nearest challengers in the polls. Yay Britain!!!

feel like this should have been hammered home in the press coverage and by the MPs in the house tbh

I;m completely out of the loop on this now - why did some labour mps abstain or vote against coopers amendment? was the leadership not in support of it and were they whipped to vote for it?

#452

3 line whipped for it.

#453

Is Michael Gove the only one who gets to stand in front of Theresa May and say stuff. Swear I’ve never seen anyone else do it.
