I was basically saying there won't be a vote on "no deal". We would just leave automatically without one. There can only be a vote/decision on accepting a deal or on postponing/revoking article 50.

Iconically, the Tory who took Cameron's old seat has resigned his front bench position to vote against May's Brexit plan.

At the end of the day though, HRC lost it more than Trump or his proxies winning it.
My American nephew was visiting us recently, I checked with him that they all voted for HRC although I was 99.999..% sure they would. He said 'even Mom voted, she never voted before, even though she doesn't like HRC'.

I said, nobody likes HRC, wasn't that exactly the problem. :roll:

The foe, in the president’s view,
Is foremost & first the EU.

He therefore submits,
Should call off discussions & sue.

The "one leadership challenge a year" rule - is that a calendar year, or a rolling year? Does anyone here know, please?

I've just watched footage of Donald Trump and Melancholia Trump arrive in Helsinki. Stairs were involved - but no hand-holding. Discuss.
