BREAKING: UK MPs vote to reject a no deal Brexit BrexitVote
Addressing the UK’s tariff proposals in the event of a no-deal Brexit, Mr Varadkar said that Northern Ireland will become a backdoor to the European single market.
“Westminster can take the no-deal off the table this evening and if they do so then there is the potential to look at alternatives, for example the UK staying in the customs union.”French President Emmanuel Macron has said Britain would need to come up with a clear reason for requesting an extension to the March 29 deadline for leaving the European Union, saying extra time could not be used to renegotiate the withdrawal.
Sir Keir replied: “The Leader of the Opposition two weeks ago Monday made it clear that we would support an amendment to that end or put one forward for ourselves. “Timing depends on discussions across the House and with others, but that’s the clear position that we put down.” Independent unionist Lady Sylvia Hermon said MPs, including the DUP, must give “due weight to the serious warning” issued by the head of the Northern Ireland civil service David Sterling about the “grave consequences” if there is a no-deal Brexit.
“Now that is a grave step and experience shows us it’s very hard to return from that step, and it’d be especially difficult in the context of no-deal.”Dame Caroline Spelman, a former Conservative Party chairwoman has reportedly decided not to support her own amendment the BBC is reporting. It erupted after it emerged that a cross-party amendment to take no deal off the table may not be put to the vote.
“This House will be denied the chance to take no-deal off the table - that’s the truth of it isn’t it?” Dodging the question, Mr Gove replied: “She is a distinguished criminal barrister and now I know what it’s like to be cross-examined by her but I also know why barristers are paid by the hour.”Gove's nauseating suck-up in all its gory detail
