As thin arguments go, they don't come any thinner than that!

Thin, but enough for our two big parties to help them sleep at night when they euthanise Brexit.

I know that Mick but as he is late to the party I just thought I'd answer his question.

Re: Brexit
Doesn't really matter. She has to come back with a plan. The plan can be to go down the pub and get wasted so long as she 'presents it to the house'.

Theresa May has seen 12 defeats in the Commons since the 2017 election - more than Thatcher and Blair ever lost combined..

Neither of them ever had a minority in Parliament, or anything remotely close to one.

Indeed ... the Mogg pointed out this afternoon, all she has to do to satisfy the resolution is to table something. There doesn’t even have to be a vote on it. The question really is how bold dare she be? Will she take it as literally as she can and weather the howling, or will she cave in?

Indeed but she only has herself to blame for being in such a weak position don't you agree? as if ever we needed a strong leader with a decent working majority that time would have been now.

She'll just say the plan is to seek further reassurances and changes around the backstop or something. She'll give some level of effort and respect to the motion, no point antagonising them for the sake of it as that can obviously backfire badly.
