UPDATES: UK govt loses third vote on rotten Brexit deal, motion of no confidence looming? (pg. 71)-UK Government on verge of collapse

this Spelman amendment that just won by four votes, was it a binding vote or advisory one, do you know?

Its not binding, just a test for Parliament to see if MP's would back no deal, and they didnt.

MP's rejected the deal, rejected no deal and are probably about to reject an extension. Resignations and riots in the next hour.

MPs have voted by 312 to 308 to reject leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement.

It is not a legally-binding decision - and it does not rule out the UK leaving the EU.

But it means MPs could now get a vote on delaying Brexit.

That vote would take place on Thursday, and if it is passed - and the EU agrees to it - the UK will not leave the EU as planned on 29 March.

MPs are now voting on whether the PM's Brexit plan should be scrapped in favour of a "managed no deal".

The government has tabled its own motion on rejecting a no-deal Brexit on 29 March - but MPs have now voted to reject no-deal under any circumstances.

Right so article 50 extension will be approved tomorrow and the government loses the threat of 'no deal' leverage when further discussions with the EU take place. So infact EU will likely offer an even worse deal than is being offered to May right now.

This will all boil down to May's rejected Brexit from last night being put to the House again in the last week of March... Blackmail... either MPs vote for her deal or she keeps going back to the EU to hands the EU more concessions on each visit.

wait... this was the amendment vote to reject no deal in ANY circumstances, at 29th March or anytime, even if there's an article 50 extension. Good God.

The House of Commons have voted to reject no deal in all circumstances by 312 to 308 - just four votes in the difference

Malthouse was the extension and it just lost badly.

Utterly shocking.

Half of the government is about to go. Rees-Mogg is furious on the BBC.

So they've ruled out the 2 month extension... but that leaves open the option for the 21 month extension which the EU are supposedly more willing to go along with...

I guess that's what they could be voting on tomorrow?

Fuck me someone explain where we are at

If that happens Brexit is over

Now that no deal is off the table...The EU will let the government delay brexit for as long as they want.
