"Prime Minister Theresa May has called off Tuesday's crucial vote on her Brexit deal so she can go back to Brussels and ask for changes to it.

"As it stands the deal 'would be rejected by a significant margin' if MPs voted on it, she admitted."

The biggest stumbling block appears to be the issue between Ireland and Northern Ireland. In particular, what the borders will look like in terms of what people and goods will need to do or not do in order to cross it.

    I like the way it his become blindingly obvious to even the dumbest sheeple in the herd over the past couple of months that the politicians they vote for are clueless mendacious self-centred and self-serving backstabbing weasel mouthed duplicitous arseholes.

    Yeah, but Theresa May has kept her re-election campain pledge to unite the people, so she has at least managed to deliver on *something*. Admittedly they're united in the opinion that the politicians they vote for are clueless mendacious self-centred and self-serving backstabbing weasel mouthed duplicitous arseholes, but you've got to start somewhere, right?

    (Also just enjoying the popcorn factor at this point - my "Yes Minister" collection has nothing on this train wreck...)
