The worst thing has been she’s wasted a month. What incompetence is that. She hoped by pushing people into binary choice they would be bullied to agree with her.

What a waste of time

Exactly! She has wasted valuable time in delaying the inevitable.

I have felt sorry for her in many ways, but she does seem to be spectacularly inflexible.

With a loss that big, the most ever (on a whipped vote) by a sitting Government, she really ought to resign or call a General Election.

Brexit will probably be delayed now.

Maybe, but at least this thread will die a death and finally fade away.

Isn't that if you win the lottery or are threads overlapping?

Just think, originally the government wanted to pass whatever it came up with, without consulting the commons.

Shame it wasn't 1922, because we could then blame the committee.

Yeah she probably will this time. But these motions can be raised again... I imagine we may see another one after she comes back 3 days later like a shit Jesus.

She'll win the confidence vote tomorrow but then what? The deal isn't going to pass at all. Parliament will delay article 50 and May will carry on with no authority. She really needs to resign.

That sounds frighteningly familiar.

Interesting times. They reckon the number of Tories that voted against the deal is pretty much the same those that voted against her in the confidence vote pre Christmas, so in that sense maybe the scale of loss isn’t a surprise.

What a mess !

The biggest of all time. The largest defeat before that was 166 votes on a whipped vote.

If May stays on as PM it will be staggering as this Brexit deal is the flagship legislation of this Government. She’s lost the confidence of the Commons and under normal circumstances, a PM would usually resign and/or call an election.

Shocked defeat was by so much. I was so wrong thinking the MPs would suck up her deal in the end but I guess it was so bad and unclear no one could take it.

I'm hoping we just leave without a deal and then build up a deal in stages from a position of strength.

I am very dissapointed by the politicians they are still playing party politics when now they should present a united front to the EU and take no more shit!

Of course you think several Tory MPs will support labour in the no confidence motion don’t you?

Greatest defeat by a Government ever too I believe! The news quoted 166 earlier, iirc. She’s been a disaster of a PM.

Jeremy Corbyn has just tabled a motion of no confidence.

She has been a disaster and is the worst prime minister since the last one anyway.

That was never in doubt. The question is, will any Conservative MPs resign the Tory whip and/or break ranks with the Government.

People like Soubry, Boles and Grieve are already facing calls to be deselected by their membership. They may be willing to vote against the Government. It’s certainly an interesting scenario.

Whether or not the no confidence motion passes, there’s probably going to have to be a general election either way.

I think they have to be sworn in before they can vote and I think that means swearing an allegiance to the Queen so double unlikely.

I certainly think there will be pressure on her to resign.

Right now, the picture is unclear until the Government announces its next steps since the Tory MPs who have said they’ll vote with Labour if a ‘No Deal Brexit’ became Government policy. Which Teresa May has ruled out immediately after the vote.

The worry would be who comes next.

Usually, they end up with a compromise candidate, but who the hell would be considered suitable for both sides in the Tory Party?

Gove?!??!?!?
