Even the EU folks are admitting today that the whole thing is screwed up now. Some journalists are suggesting that either an extension should be offered up (which the EU rules don’t allow), or a second public vote should be offered (would just make it a bigger mess).

I hope this vote today leads to the end of the EUSSR.
This was the end game all the time for the Remainers, including Teresa May. They are going to bring this to another referendum, and with all of the media poised against Brexit, it will fail and the UK will remain in the EU. Did anybody really believe the swamp would let the voters decide? The Remainers slogan was "let the people decide" and now it's "ah, what the hell do they know".
Per an earlier commentator on SkyNews, May could lose upwards of 220 members.
Seems they are anticipating she will lose and a ‘no confidence’ vote later today will unseat her.
She survived a vote a couple of weeks ago.
I love the brits freewheeling debate in that small room with people cheering and booing. I wish we did something like that here.
Missed the Kavenaugh hearings, didja?
Vote until you get the results you want then vote no more
It’s generally expected that even the most hard-line Brexiters in her party will not support a no confidence motion. That said there is no precedent in British history for a PM losing a vote on their signature policy by the kind of margin she is likely to lose by, and not immediately resigning. In fact, I’m not sure any government in British history has suffered a loss by more than 200 votes.
She should (but probably won’t) hand in her notice to the Queen and ask HM to dissolve Parliament and call a general election.
Exactly. They needed to run out the clock so that a hard Brexit was the only alternative, which they've managed to do. They have three months to arrange the election before that deadline. And they don't intend to lose it, by hook or by crook.
432 to 202 vote to reject May’s Brexit proposal.
Defeated, and May is still quacking her canard, already 2 1/2 years later!
Corbyn tables a no confidence motion.
Debate could start as early as tomorrow.
May - Worst PM, Ever.
+++++++++++++
Her quacking is diminishing....
No confidence vote.
Probably not going to demand a recount...
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. A general election is the only answer to this mess.
That is, until Corbyn takes the helm.
He is rotten to the core and will destroy whatever English culture is left on that wee island.
