Less than a week to the Brexit vote. Sky have done a projection down to every last MP on how they think they'll vote

https://news.sky.com/story/brexit-full-list-of-mps-and-how-they-are-expected-to-vote-on-pms-deal-11570606

320 votes required, Sky reckon only 230 will vote in favour.

If she loses so heavily as projected I can see Corbyn tabling a motion of no confidence.

Not that Labour will win but Corbyn seems to fancy his chances but he'll be confident of getting enough Tory MP's to trigger the motion nonetheless.

I see Priti Patel is suggesting a re-enactment of the potato famine. She is one odious Tory bitch!

http://www.thejournal.ie/brexit-threat-food-shortages-ireland-4381228-Dec2018/?utm_source=shortlink

AS UK PRIME Minister Theresa May has just five days to try to rally support for her Brexit deal, a Tory MP has suggested using the possibility of food shortages to Ireland in the event of a no-deal Brexit to encourage the EU to drop the backstop.

A government report, leaked to the Times of London, has indicated that there could be food shortages in Ireland in a no-deal Brexit scenario, and the economic impact on Ireland would be worse than in the UK.

You don't make jokes about John Bercow. Best speaker in history Clap

Even if he is a Tory, he's far too funny to be one.

I must admit that he was won me over a bit. He is quite funny and even handed.
 
In saying that, in yet another thing I find undemocratic about the mother of parliaments, I would be a bit pissed off if I was from his constituency in Buckinghamshire.

He'll be a massive miss when he stops being Speaker. You can just tell he hates the current generation of MP's
