Its all nationalist nonsense!
Being well travelled I hate nationalism. The more you travel the more you realise everybody is fairly similar and in fact the world would be a better place if we all got on together. Human nature is an odd thing.

From 09:30 it's going to be Mayhem, twitter will be in full meltdown when the 'pissed up dandelion' begins his speech. From there it's the Q&A & from what I read, the speaker is set to allow a debate for a "Letwin" amendment which could be a rod in the meaningful votes spokes. I'm gonna buckle up, we could be in for a day of explosive emotion from both remain & leave.

One of the sticking points, as I understand it, it that trade going from England/Wales/Scotland to Northern Ireland will be treated differently to trade going the other way. The DUP want or say they want, to be treated exactly the same as all parts of the UK.

I wonder why the EU are so stubborn on that one? (maybe Bojo didn't really consider it much)

Mind you, I bet some of them are pissed off cos they'll miss some of the rugby. (First Saturday sitting for 37 years - since the falklands war)

Am I right in thinking 'The pissed up dandelion' is going to get his deal through, the ERG just dropped the "Yes" back side of the book down to 1.7 what a bloody rollercoaster this market is.

Half of me wants the Letwin to be voted through so the chaos continues, it makes for a brilliant market.

Whenever that fella speaking for the SNP turns up with a pile of paper, you know it's going to be a long day.

Plus a second letter saying we dont want an extension.

Plus a third letter reminding the EU that we will refuse to pass on intelligence information if they offer another extension. Given whats going on in the middle east that could sway Macron and others to just say enough is enough and the UK should basically leave asap. In such circumstances the UK parliament would have no choice but to accept no deal or revoke article 50 before the 31st of October 2019.

I imagine a lot of Labour MP's will be worried we will crash out with no deal - clever from Boris imo, only as long as the EU hold firm and don't grant us a delay then I can see him getting the numbers
