BBC News: Reports " MPs have backed seeking "alternative arrangements" to replace the Irish backstop in Theresa May's Brexit plan. "
Lets Get Real:
Today was an unexpected WIN for PM May, she got what she wanted on the whole, the support of the House of Commons for the PM to say to the EU that the Irish backstop has to go before the EU Withdrawal Agreement is agreed by the House. The Conservative Government was helped by the FACT that Brexit supporters and Remainers came to a compromise and that Labour MPs from Leave Seats voted with the Government. There was a no binding vote that showed that the House of Commons does not favour a No Deal Brexit, but this can be placed in the bin by PM May. The PM has to be tough with the EU, if they want 39 billion pounds and a good trade with the UK they have to place pressure on Ireland to back down, the Irish might have overplayed their hand, will the EU really go for EU purity over HARD CASH, does the German taxpayer want to fund the EU more, it's the Germans that fund the EU, they say what goes. The chances of a 2nd Brexit vote are no slim, the House of Commons as a whole does not want a vote, neither does Jeremy Corbyn the Labour Leader. IT was interesting to see Sky and BBC News, they were so glum that May had a good day and their favourite option of a 2nd Brexit vote died a death. Both Channels reported that the EU has stated that the May Deal can not be redone, this is common EU practice, say No in till they have to say yes. Next two weeks will be interesting.
