Re: Brexit
Just what the country needs... the BBC to give us more useless information.
Apparently according to the PM a statement must be made by 21st January outlining the way forward if there’s no deal. This is set in legislation.

The programme was already factored in to their schedules but alas because the vote has been cancelled until a new date has been given one suspects we might be having another programme possibly sometime in the future on Brexit.

Re: Brexit
The BBC should do more about Brexit.
Doctor Who does Brexit
Brexit narrated by David Attenborough
Only Fools and Horses: Brexit Union
Strictly Come Brexit - where each dancer or dancer couple, whatever it is, represents an EU country but try as we might we can't vote out the UK entrant.
Brexit Wars - Like robot wars expect it's Remainers and Brexiters fighting.
All Brexit, all the time. There will never not be Brexit. Brexit! Brexit! Brexit!

Emergency Debate on Brexit (mostly on the vote being pulled).
It looks like grandstanding. Corbyn doesn't want to rock the boat.

Re: Brexit
It furthers the rhetoric of a constitutional crisis though.
A three hour debate on a Government, already in contempt, in hiding.

Re: Brexit
Corbyn is a prize dick. He keeps on forgetting that to be in government usually means you have to win an election first.

Re: Brexit
In fairness, May didn’t. Cameron didn’t (the first time).
He’s as entitled as anyone else to try and control the agenda, our constitution is about who can command a majority in the House. Not which party won the most votes, or the most seats. Although usually that person is from a party that meets both criteria, it’s not a requirement.

No, she did. By 56 votes to be exact. The Tories won that election. They got more votes than any other party.
It it enough for a majority, no. But more than anyone else. However, I agree in this of democracy meaning nothing, who gives a shit?

no he isn’t
He can oppose, moan, offer alternatives for the next election.
But if he wants to govern he has to win an election and a mandate from the people, which hecwas no where near last year and the poles suggest he has made no ground. So no.

Re: Brexit
He may be able to command a majority on these issues. If it’s obvious the Government can’t.
Are you advocating a one party state for the period between general elections? If not then you are dangerously close.

Technically the person asked by Her Maj to form a government is the one most likely to enjoy the confidence of the House of Commons. A majority of MPs being from your party is the surest way to achieve that, but it’s not essential.
