Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal has been rejected by 230 votes - the largest defeat for a sitting government in history.

MPs voted by 432 votes to 202 to reject the deal, which sets out the terms of Britain's exit from the EU on 29 March.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has now tabled a vote of no confidence in the government, which could trigger a general election.

The confidence vote is expected to be held at about 1300 GMT on Wednesday.

I hope for the sake of people of colour living in Britain that it exists the European Union as soon as possible.

 

I am completely against it... It is the right wing racists complaining against the Poles that instigated this. The Polish have mostly re emigrated and yet this idea of nationalism vs the benefits of a common market scares the shit out of them.

Hardcore Neo-nazis from central Europe and Eastern Europe were flooding in to Britain.

Brits always had their neo nazis. The punk movement of the late seventies through the eighties were a neo nazi strain . This is not counter culture but  mainly  a rural area racism no less than that of the rust belt racism in the US. The conservative made a mistake calling for the vote and they did not see the Russian hand in it that left the nation divided.

London has loads of Neo Nazis as does NYC for that matter.  The fact that they aren't as visible as in dying rust belt towns (NOT rural areas) doesn't mean that they don't exist.

Every day I encounter closet Trump supporters in NYC whose main motivation for supporting him is race.

Theresa May is gone if she loses the NCV.  She will laugh as this isn't a simple NC.  The Brexiteers want more, the Remains want more and some want another referendum.  Corbyn is a Brexiter but most within his party are Remain.

To make it even more complicated no one in the UK seems to know what they want, which is why the next May failure will be the EU  rejecting her "plan B" especially as an NCV is likely to precede it.

She will sit in the benches and watch Corbyn squirm when he faces similar insurrection.

I have seen first hand the damage that Eastern European Neo-Nazis did to the head of my African friend. They carved several swastika symbols with knives into his head before he was rescued, by passersby. The cuts are still very visible on his head today many years after the incident. The level of primitive racial hate towards people of colour by many Central and Eastern Europeans makes British racial hate towards people of colour look like child's play.

I can envision a new referendum on the matter.  This time they will vote to stay in the union.  UK have a lot to offer the EU!

They will try for a custom BREXIT Norwegian style where customs check do not come into play. They want the benefit of trade and freedom of movement a la schengen. I do not know if they can beat the Hard BREXIT date in March 19 so they may ask for an extension from the EU.

You fellas are a bunch of gullible fools. I was expecting Caribny to see threw the European Union racist outfit but even he did not. You all should examine the number of complaints from people of colour to the British Race relations commission about the attitude of Polish people in Britain towards them. One thing I can predict. Britain remaining in the European Union and you can kiss those windrush cases goodbye.
