Brexit: No-deal opponents defeat government

[Cleoriff]

Tory rebels and opposition MPs have defeated the government in the first stage of their attempt to pass a law designed to prevent a no-deal Brexit.

The Commons voted 328 to 301 to take control of the agenda, meaning they can bring forward a bill seeking to delay the UK's exit date.

Boris Johnson responded by saying he would bring forward a motion for a general election.

And so the saga continues

Worryingly Parliament seems to be losing dignity along with the country's security and stability.

I truly despair of it all

I see David Cameron is putting a late bid in for Britain's Worst Prime Minister since 1990. Lets not forget he walked away from bombing Libya as well leaving a country in severe crisis. Not to worry, Tony Blair will pop up again to remind us he still wants to be number one.
