Theresa May faces catastrophic defeat in major Brexit vote as allies warn: ‘Winter is Coming’

Prime Minister Theresa May was facing a significant and potentially catastrophic defeat on a major Brexit vote in Parliament Tuesday, a defeat that could eventually lead to anything from no Brexit at all to a general election -- as May's allies took a page from “Game of Thrones” and ominously warned: “Winter is Coming.”

Parliament will vote later Tuesday on May’s withdrawal agreement with E.U. leaders, ahead of Britain’s scheduled departure from the bloc at the end of March. It is a vote that May is expected to lose heavily, but the severity of the loss is likely to determine the extent to which May is able to go back to Brussels and demand further concessions to try again to get the agreement through Parliament.

Maybe Germany can sent in EU troops to stop the Brits from getting really, really actively mad about their vote meaning nothing.

What Whiskey Tangos May, the Tories, and UK citizens have become. Just leave the Socialist EU, and then handle any problems after. Crash out!

And we say “America First” why? Because we don’t want other countries owning a piece of us.

...the extent to which May is able to go back to Brussels and demand further concessions to try again to get the agreement through Parliament.

Which she will not get. Brussels is going to let May twist in the wind as a warning to the others. And if Corbyn gets in as a result, so much the better from their point of view.

The hijabi b!tch who fought Brexit and British opinion from the get go is about to get gone. BTW, didn’t T-May force this vote to override the original plebiscite on Brexit? If true, it has backfired royally.

Tommy Robinson for PM!!

Having jumped in the middle, do not know which vote was just made, but I presume May lost big time.

600+ to about 25

End the facade, Great Britain! Leave the EU, an unelected and evil power over the people of Europe.

Biggest margin of loss in Commons History.

Off with the Globalist May’s head.

Ah, but this may lead to the commie Labor leader taking over. Britain is lost. In a few generations, the Muslims will take over.
