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.

I love this

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.

The Brexiting Brits,
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.
