The DUP and the government have had good discussions in recent days and some progress on domestic legislation has been made. All concerned recognise the need to ensure that as we leave the European Union the economic and constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom is maintained. However, given the fact that the necessary changes we seek to the backstop have not been secured between the government and the European Union, and the remaining and ongoing strategic risk that Northern Ireland would be trapped in backstop arrangements at the end of the implementation period, we will not be supporting the government if they table a fresh meaningful vote. The backstop if operational has the potential to create an internal trade border within the United Kingdom and would cut us off from our main internal market, being Great Britain. We want to secure the United Kingdom’s departure from, and our future relationship with, the European Union on terms that accord with our key objectives to ensure the integrity of the United Kingdom. In our view the current withdrawal agreement does not do so and the backstop, which we warned this government against from its first inception, poses an unacceptable threat to the integrity of the United Kingdom and will inevitably limit the United Kingdom’s ability to negotiate on the type of future relationship with the EU. Edit: Ironically, the only thing that looks to be able to save May is Corbyn's whipping for a second referendum. Question is if that will push enough Labour leave MPs to support her deal. Probably not. | ||

Some of those MPs that were laughing as it happened should be ashamed of themselves. They're an embarrassment. | ||

So now the question is, will anyone who voted today for something now want to switch to back May's deal. She needs around 12-15 votes as im sure all the ERG are voting for it. | ||

Not all ERG are voting for it, still 20+ against and DUP are against which is another 10. | ||

I just assumed that they all listen to Boris now as they know they have no chance etc etc. Guess not? There was one ERG member on bbc saying still against, Steve Baker (Deputy of the ERG and in some ways more influential than Boris) is against and gave this speech. | ||

Now whats next. The odds are interesting. Its tempting to bet against Johnson but you only get 20%. I doubt it will be labour either,everything in Europe is moving towards the right of the spectrum and I don't think Britain will be much different. @below:a ty. | ||
