Theresa May’s government didn’t just lose a crucial vote on Tuesday, it also suffered the biggest defeat by a sitting administration in British history. Her Brexit deal, which set out the terms under which Britain was supposed to leave the European Union on March 29, was rejected by a majority of 230 MPs. That’s more than a third of the membership of the House of Commons. The word “catastrophe” barely covers it.
This number was far higher than many commentators had dared to believe was likely. And yet despite Brexiteers like me being happy that Mrs. May’s appalling deal was overturned, I am left with a sense of enormous frustration. For it is obvious that Mrs. May is the reason Britain is in this situation. It is Mrs. May, personally, who represents the biggest problem in British politics. Her pathetic attempts at negotiation and her deep-rooted stubbornness stand between the country and a clean Brexit. If she had any sense of honour she would have resigned immediately.

Britain is in unprecedented territory. For the first time in our history our parliament refuses to accept the will of the people. Just over 17.4 million people voted for Brexit in 2016, a majority of 1.3 million. This result was backed up in the 2017 general election, when both main parties promised to deliver Brexit and secured more than 80 per cent of the votes cast.
The trouble is, the majority of our 650 MPs don’t want Brexit anymore—even though in 2017 some 498 MPs voted for Article 50, which states that if the U.K. doesn’t agree on a withdrawal agreement by March 29, 2019, we leave the EU on World Trade Organization rules.

Parliament wants Quantum Brexit, to both in and out of the EU at the same time. Much like our Congress wants Quantum Borders that exist, but don’t really keep anyone out.
No second referendum. No deal.
Free yourselves England. Stop being Quislings. Stop being collaborators. Be England.
Really shameful, fighting the will of the people and failing to do the right thing. Yep, The Brits are in a mess.

Seriously, Trump is ready to make you a deal.
“Nigel Farage: A Second Brexit Referendum May ‘Shock’ the Establishment”
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
The usually astute Farage is way off on this one. There is no way in the world the left will allow a “leave” vote to succeed, now that they know how many Brits favor it. They will use every imaginable fraudulent, corrupt and criminal means to throw the vote. I guess that last sentence is redundant since I already said “the left”.

Absolutely agree 1000%! I can’t believe he said this.
There is no way in hell the globals, now on high alert after seeing Trump “slip through” their setups, will ever allow an honest vote.
Their U.K. tyrants will NEVER allow a no-deal Brexit, as they have quite clearly stated.
It should be crystal clear what the Brits must do if they want their freedom.
May God’s Hand be upon, guide, empower, and bless the “yellowjackets”!
May was the cause for the failed exit deal. The Commons are either lying to the British or confused. Either way May should have been tossed out by the same majority.
I’m sure the establishment spies, used every bribery and coercion they had on the Commoners to keep them in line on PM May vote.
