I remember him being asked once what his favourite pop song was and there was a 20 second pause as he tried to think of one, just one. He failed.

101W's counting sheep right now (lord, I hope that's all he's doing to them), so I'll post this on his behalf:

The DUP voting no might just be the most superfluous sentence ever uttered. They’re not subtitled the “No” party for nothing.

he probably won't do it, since he's already pushing for Labour's Brexit plan again, but after tomorrow's no-deal vote would be an insanely good time for Corbyn to push for a second referendum.

i can't get enough brexit content. the lib dems mostly suck but this is a huge LOL:
Sir Vince Cable, the Lib Dem leader, asks if there is any precedent since, say, the American war of independence of a PM being defeated twice, but continuing with the same policy.

A no to no deal vote sounds good on paper, but I haven’t seen a good answer to the question of what then happens in the event of no deal ever being agreed. My brain is puny enough to grasp these grand notions, but isn’t no deal simply the default in such a scenario? Failing an extension - which seems pointless - or a second referendum.

Y'know, I'm old enough to remember when ministers would resign for even minor breaches or perceived lack of confidence. I realize that that stuff is quaint and old-fashioned now, but, man o man, in my gut I'm amazed that May hasn't flat-out resigned after losing four straight votes. Her ego or masochist fetish must be massive to not just fuck off after all this.

More than two and a half years after the referendum, more time is needed. Few ideas but confused. :meh:
