2019 Death List (updated)

The EU's patience wears even thinner
Donald Tusk just made a statement saying the EU would only grant an article 50 extension if the deal is passed. So essentially:
A 3rd defeat in the commons (assuming that MV3 is allowed) for the WA & it's a #CrashOutBrexit that the disaster capitalists have wanted all along.
If May finally get's approval of the WA (assuming that MV3 is allowed) the EU will grant a short extension (June?) to get all the legislation done.
So, we're back to 'My Deal v No Deal'. A-fucking-gain.

The Bercow Bombshell
On Monday afternoon John Bercow dropped a massive bomb on Maybot's plan for MV3.
Questions had been asked inside & outside the house about the legality of holding another vote on a motion that had been massively defeated twice. After consulting with the clerks and legal/constitutional experts the Speaker stood up to announce that the government couldn't keep putting the same motion to a vote.
This is a principle that goes back to 1604and is codified in Parliament's "handbook", Erskine May.*
The bar was set at being a substantially different bill (not just changing a few words and going from Comic Sans to Helvetica).
Cue uproar! Cries of 'destroying the constitution' & 'enemy of the people' etc.
No 10 were said to be blind-sided as he'd not told them. He probably had but such is May's contempt for the House she would have ignored it. In any case, he doesn't have to warn them.
Both the Remain & Leave side seemed to be very happy about the judgement. There were some wonderfully ironic POO though: James Cleverly pretty much said that if MPs had known that MV2 was the last one they might have acted differently because they didn't have the information!
Where this leaves the UK, apart from an international laughing stock, is anybody's guess.
The #Breshitters initially thought it would mean that their holy #NoDeal would become reality. Until it was pointed out that this was specifically ruled out in vote last Wednesday.
The Remainers initially thought that it would make a 2nd referendum (also ruled out) or revocation more likely.
The current feeling is that the Government will have to beg the EU for an extension to article 50. The length of time is currently being debated but** it looks like a long extension with the option to shorten it if the extension is deemed to make the motion different enough.
* I believe that, interestingly, the rulebook, Erskine May, was published in 1844 by the great, great, grandfather of Theresa's husband Phillip. Erskine May, later the 1st Baron Farnborough, was Clerk of the House of Commons.
** That is if the EU27+ agree to it! There's already been lots of queries about whether to grant an extension as some don't see any point & others want to know what May is proposing.

More acts of Brexit madness
To make matters madder, Barclay as Brexit Secretary will be the minister to go to the EU and request an extension that he himself voted against!

Brexit Omnishambles
After the House voted to reject May's deal again they had another vote on whether to leave with no deal. Despite the fact that leaving with no deal is the default state in law.
They really are a bunch of rectum-brained jizz monkey's!
After voting to ensure there's no deal they voted against it: they might as well have held a vote against the idea that the world being round, the moon being made of rock or water being made of unicorn farts. 🤬

One senior EU negotiator describing the mega-shambles as "The Titanic voting for the iceberg to get out of the way".
Update: Maybot hinted that she might bring her twice-defeated dead parrot deal back for a turd, sorry, third vote next week.
MPs are also to vote on an extension to Article 50. Something that's not in their power to grant as it has to be agreed by 27 nations + the EU parliament. Putting aside the fact that we've massively pissed them all off, there is no unanimity on whether or for how long to agree to an extension. If it was for a definite reason, they'd probably agree. If it's for more stupidity/can-kicking they certainly wont.

Tarriffs
The Government has announced the UK will cut tariffs on a range of imports from outside the EU in the event of a 'no-deal' Brexit but some products coming from the remaining EU 27 member states currently free of tariffs will face levies for the first time.
Preview: the Government's new infrastructure on the border.

Shambles & no honour
It's a testament to the state of British politics in general, and Maybot on particular that losing by 149 votes counts as a decided improvement.
Still, any authority May had the illusion of having is now gone.
If she had a single atom of honour or integrity she'd have resigned in January after the worst defeat in parliamentary history.
She didn't because she hasn't.

No Government
The UK now officially has no government.
We have a lame Duck PM skulking in Downing Street.
The Spring Statement from the Chancellor is due tomorrow.
Businesses are leaving & we're an international laughing stock.
All to 'heal' the rifts over Europe in the Nazty Party.

Hi May
Hi @theresa_may You're supposedly a cricket fan.
How would you characterise a 444 v 828 defeat over both sides two innings? An innings and 384 runs? A humiliating twatting? A game to pretend never happened? Entirely the fault of the captain? #ForTheLoveOfGodJustGo

SitRep: Nothing has changed
We are basically in the same place we started Monday.
The UK cannot and will not be able to unilaterally exit the backstop. Because that defeats the point of the backstop. We have known this since December 2017.
Or, as Gavin Esler put it: You know that car I sold you that won’t start? Yes. I've polished it.

Bollox in Strasbourg
Does anybody know what the hoofwanking bunglecunt has achieved with her grovelling in Strasbourg?
Simply robotically screeching "legal changes" is no more useful than wibbling "Brexit means Brexit" or "Strong & stable" repeatedly.
"Nothing has changed" however, is quite apt.

McVey 'facts'
After Esther McVey tweeted a lie that had been comprehensively debunked motnths ago twitter did what it does best: mocking her using the #McVeyFacts tag.
Her's some of mine:
From 2021 the England rugby team will start the three 6 Nations games against France, Ireland & Italy on minus 15 points.
From summer 2019, just to annoy the ERG on Christmas Day, the Brussels Sprout will be labelled "Le Euro Cabbage' and be required to conform to regulations on size, shape, colour and rankness.
From 2021 English breakfasts will be replaced with continental breakfasts.
Anybody wanting any variety of fried, high cholesterol, breakfast will have to get a licence to drive an HGV 6 months prior to ordering. Failure to obtain the correct outer packaging could result in admittance to the EU being refused.
It will be illegal for any British person to swim anywhere on the continent unless wearing a bowler hat as an identifier.
In 2020 all fish must be given French, German, Norwegian, Portuguese or Spanish names depending on which country they were caught near. Labels must be attached to each fish with the correct title.
From the 1st of January 2021 all gammon exports must be relabelled as "Le Jambon Fumé Rouge".
From 2020 the UK will have to perform each & every Eurovision Song Contest entry in the language of the host nation.
Following the UK's departure a large number of underground cables will slowly, but inexorably, pull the UK (plus Ireland) towards the Caribbean, ultimately making good on the 'sunlit uplands' pledge. The current favoured final resting place is south of Jamaica.
From July 2019 the British Library will be relabelled 'Le Bibliothèque Britanique'.
From 2021 all cows in the Northern Ireland will be called 'Bernard' and 'Bernard Moo Moo' after crossing the border to the republic.
From January 2020 all blue UK passports must be inside in a burgundy wrapper.

The Omnishambles rolls on
The pretence of a government have postponed their financial services bill debate to avert defeat on overseas tax havens.
They are now so weak, so spineless, they can't even get simple legislation through the commons.
Meanwhile Chris Failing is now such a liability that he was benched & the Tiggerish Health Secretary, matt Hancock, covered for him in an UQ on the farcical shambles he made of the Ferry/Eurotunnel fiasco.
Despite Grayling taking the decisions & spunking away £33 million of taxpayers money to settle the case Eurotunnel brought over the secret contracts/not following standard contract tendering processes.
Elsewhere Maybot's illusory government offered a #NorthernBung to deprived communities in a blatant attempt to bribe MPs to vote for her deal. She said the'd be millions of pounds spent but firstly it turned out to be far less than councils has lost under ideological austerity measures. Then it turned out that the money would be spread over 6-7 years.
This shambolic government ca't even organise a bribe properly!
