Looks like a very inclusive bunch to me - they have certainly got an above average proportion of blue skinned folk.

"Calls for a public inquiry into Brexit are mounting among diplomats, business figures, peers and MPs, amid claims that the civil service is already planning for a future investigation into how it has been handled." https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/mar/23/calls-grow-for-public-inquiry-into-brexit

Best way of scaring their readers into voting against Labour.

It's got a better chance of getting debated in Parliament than May's deal has of being passed by Parliament.

https://www.itv.com/news/2019-03-21/has-the-prime-minister-cracked-her-chief-whip/ "In the tea rooms and offices of Parliament, the Chief Whip has been openly admitting today that he found last night's statement in Downing Street "appalling."" ""She just won't listen to us," Julian Smith, ( the Government Chief Whip ), told one MP." "All sense that the PM understands the reality in Parliament has been lost."

1,552,837 when I clicked the link in the confirmation email.

Well they seem to have tried everybody else apart from Anderson and Broad.

I think the convention was that the PM would ask the Monarch to dissolve Parliament, as technically Parliament sits at the behest of the Sovereign, rather than the Monarch acting independently. ( The Monarch rules at the request of Parliament, which has been the situation since at least the English Civil War ). The Fixed Term Parliaments Act set legislative time limits on the lifetime of Parliaments, so unless the HOC, ( not the PM ), agrees to an "early bath", the end date is automatically set.

Constitutionally the Queen can't interfere, and in public she can't hold political opinions.

Agrochemicals, which has flavoured his view of the EU due to differences of opinion between his company and them over environmental impacts and licencing. ( John, if I am not actually on 'ignore', feel free to correct this if it is inaccurate ).

From Buzzfeed's twitter, and quoted on the BBC; "UK PM May presented her views to EU27 leaders at #EUCO. I am told she was “evasive” and “tightlipped”. The prime minister was repeatedly asked by several leaders what she would do if MPs vote the deal down. May didn’t answer the question."

You really don't know ?

The UK's no-deal Brexit contingency plan is code-named Operation YellowHammer. The Yellow Hammer is a small bird, whose call is often described as sounding like "A little bit of bread and no cheese". Prophetic ?

I wouldn't describe it as 'mostly', it was 'overwhelmingly' rejected, twice.

No, the Speaker's ruling refers to the content of the WA, which would be presented in exactly the same form as the last vote. I think that a revocation of A50 is fast becoming the outcome of last resort, and then the Magic Roundabout can start all over again.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47622721 "Boeing's Dennis Muilenburg, who is the chairman, president and chief executive of the company, said in an open letter: "Soon we'll release a software update and related pilot training for the 737 Max that will address concerns discovered in the aftermath of the Lion Air Flight 610 accident."" "There will also be changes to the cockpit warning systems, the flight crew operating manual will be updated and there will be computer-based training for pilots."

"Sri Lanka opener Dimuth Karunaratne may not join Hampshire as their overseas player, while selectors consider him as a potential World Cup captain. .... Karunaratne has been asked to stay in Sri Lanka during April and play in their domestic 50-over competition before the World Cup begins in May." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/47625896

LOL at the Tory MPs who have voted twice to veto May's deal, but are complaining that the Speaker's decision on a 3rd vote means that they now can't change their minds and vote in favour of something they have consistently rejected.

So why might May's deal get another airing ?

Which is why we won't get a 2nd referendum, yet May's failed 'deal' will get a 3rd chance, despite losing twice to 2 of the 4 heaviest Commons defeats ever recorded. That is what has been widely reported. ( eg The Metro and C4 News )

I am not sure that many will view Carrillo as an 'investment'.

We won't have that many negotiated by the end of the WA, at the rate the DTI is currently managing.

So technically, ( legally ), at the moment we 'crash out' of the EU at 23:00 on 29th March, as no alternative position has been agreed.
