Not satisfied with losing three votes on her 'surrender to Merkel' document she now wants to blackmail her own party with the threat of a general election. 
"Vote for me or you will all likely lose your seats."

 

Really bizarre how she and parliament can’t get their act together.

 

her deal is rubbish no one seems to suport it. Hopefully, we will drop out of the EUbon the 12th with no deal no extortion payment and free country.

 

Unlikely with the fixed parliament act the Turkeys in the Parliament will not vote to be dinner.

To quote Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, 'They must go on voting until they get it right'.

Very Euro centric to keep voting until you get the ‘right answers’

 

Sounds like the Soviet Union or North Korea, but actually the EU are more dangerous as have a very thin veneer of righteously moving on.

Yea your right actually the country is paralysed.

 

The only good thing is everyone has a sudden interest in politics and it’s now proved politicians don’t care about the people, Labour are still talking about more immigration and taking more asylum seekers and the Conservatives have just surrendered to Europe with May’s deal.

 

o hum

I do not have any tattoos of the kind you suggested..neither do I have knuckledusters.
However..even at 68 I could have a go if you can understand that.
Lastly..did your parents not teach you this old saying

Sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you.

Ps..scotland will never get independence..once economics come into any indy2 debate..it would be pointed out that for well over 10 years..well..think about Greece without the sun.
Massive tax increases..businesses shutting down..massive rise in unemployment..where would all the broo/ benefit money come from?????
But..sturgeon could proudly state..WELCOME TO THE BUCKFAST..METHADOME.SLUM CLEARANCE REPUBLIC OF SCOTLAND.
Jeez..there would be tourists trampling over themselves to jump on a plane to fly there.NOT.
Cheers..may your force be with you[emoji6]

I agree unless brexit is scrapped its going to happen along with scotland,the north will prosper like never before,wealth abd jobs will overcome religion and the few remaing old nutters will be in their graves..malagateddy will have hang up his knuckle dusters and have his bulldog and unionjack tatts removed

Indicative votes again today...

 

May be they should try it the other way round.

 

1. Put the options on the table
2. vote for the one they want removed
3. remove the one with the highest votes
4. repeat steps 2&3 until there is only one option on the table

how did brexit go down with your fellow ex pats in malaga

Labour to vote for common market 2.0 amendment for staying in single market

Labour has confirmed that, if the common market 2.0 amendment is selected, it will whip its MPs to vote in favour.

That suggests the party is shifting its stance towards staying in the single market, and accepting free movement, and Emily Thornberry was hinting earlier (see 2.12pm), although it will be important to see what clarification are offer from the front bench during the debate. (Remember, last week the party backed the Beckett/second referendum amendment, while saying publicly it did not agree with every aspect of what it was proposing.)

Commenting on today’s votes, a party spokesman said:

In line with our policy, we’re supporting motions to keep options on the table to prevent a damaging Tory deal or no deal, build consensus across the house to break the deadlock and deliver an outcome that can work for the whole country.

[malagateddy]

My mates in Malaga do not need to worry re Brexit.
They're financially very sound..and if they ever have to move back to the UK..well..they'll just move into one of the various properties they own dotted about the UK
Next???

I note that possibly the most crucial debate in 70 years is shunted to 19.30 night. WHAT! Is that loathsome woman doing the shunting? I noticed last Friday MPs chuntering about being in the house until 18.00!!!

 

Lock them in the house until they agree a plan. Free Grouse as required.

Not a snowballs chance in the hades of hell.
They would get decimated at the next GE[emoji6]

Hopeful of what??
Where's the money gonna come from to sustain expenditure?
Scotland has heavier taxation than rest if UK
More heavier taxes=businesses shutting down=more unemployment=massive cuts in health,education, social services, etc etc.
Rise in crime would scream up..where will the money come from for benefits..thr broo etc etc.
Nope..definately " GREECE WITHOUT THE SUN!!!!!

Just look into it!

 

Similar population

 

similar climate

 

similar economy

 

Why not 

 

High taxes, high benefits, high standards

[malagateddy]

High taxes=high benefits..IN THEORY ONLY.
From any base line you want..the finance is not there to begin with..the snp muppet in charge if finance has stated ... oh it's eady borrowing money from the markets..st what punitive interest rate???!!!
Do you honestly know the breakeven cost on a monthly basis to even have eg a barbers shop in an ok area of Glasgow..make your eyes water BIG TIME.
Theory and practise are world's apart!!!
Before indy ref in 2014
.soapy salmon barely mentioned the scottish economy in the live tv debates..no wonder!!+
By the way..few weeks ago salmon was cautioned and charged with 2 attempted rapes..7 sexual assaults and 2 indecent assaults.
Roll on the court case..!!!
