Brexit: What is the Letwin amendment and will it pass?

in September has permanently scarred the soft Brexit/Remain faction; they might be offered some reassurances, but they could well demand a pact signed in blood.It is signed by Sir Oliver, the former Chancellor Philip Hammond, and the former Work and Pensions Secretary David Gauke - the big names of the rebel Conservative group who lost the party whip - and by Nick Boles, one of the apostles of a"Norway Option" compromise.

There are certainly a number of Labour MPs who, like Mr Boles, yearn for a Brexit deal they can back.A key factor is that they want a deal which keeps the UK in close alignment with the EU - particularly on labour standards, environmental protection and consumer safeguards, and they detect what they believe is a weakening of the government's commitment to those"level playing field" commitments.

Labour voices, like the influential former minister Pat McFadden question whether, after a journalistic career which produced scores of columns denouncing EU red tape, the PM would really keep those protections in place.Crunching the numbers as MPs prepare for key Brexit vote And with a minority government struggling for control of the Commons, ministers could well see a number of unwelcome changes imposed by MPs.

BBCPolitics A civil war is close at hand, Letwin is making sure of that, there will be no MP that will ever be trusted again. Stop Brexit and UK is finished? UK and London will become a cinder in time.

BBCPolitics Letwin is a Remainer who needs to be punished and barred from the Conservative party for life.

The Letwin Amendment, the Benn Deal, well we have another now the Johnson DEAL, put it in your pipe and smoke it

What's this about Macron vetoing any potential extension? Would this not trigger a demand for Indyref 2? Perhaps alongside an offer to rekindle the ancient rights of the auld alliance, this may well be attractive? What has NicolaSturgeon and the SNP had to say about this?

BBCPolitics This fellow is a jerk! This deal is an interim deal and has to be renegotiated which is why we must leave, have a GE and fill Parliament with patriotic MPs who will do the best for Britain. We need rid of these Quislings!

I miss the Malthouse Compromise

BBCPolitics The public are tiring of these anti brexit MP's and you are driving a bigger wedge through the country. Stop acting like spoilt children and do as your told by your employers!!!!

If letwin amendment is passed can the government ignore it?

My word - they should just admit that they want to revoke... They don't want anything but paralysis... I'm so sick of this nonsense....

Bercow will make sure the Letwin amendment will make the vote. All in it together.

How much are the Eu paying this traitor!! Whilst I don’t agree with death threats I fully understand why traitor MPs are getting them!!!

So we can’t have a deal, can’t have no deal and can’t have an election .......so this never ends

Oliver Letwin what a waste of space, they are all acting like kids in a paddy, don't they realise that if they postpone Brexit the will be no extension and no further talks, get with it man,

I really find Letwin quite creepy

Remaining twats don’t want a deal don’t want the majority to have a deal - lowest form of pond life out there

It's just a constant barrage now of attempts to stop Brexit.

I would like to know what the UK EU response would be if China, Russia were treating the electorate this way

I'm so confused.. thought everyone wanted a deal....our politicians are priceless

Remainers need to take a hard look at themselves and think of the damage they are doing to democracy and the country.....they are school kids in a playgrounds....disgraceful!!!!!!!!

We want a general election to get rid of these Eu paid mps.

This deal is guaranteed No Deal Brexit in 14 months' time. Don't be under any illusions.

To stop brexit ...probably will pass with this set of collaborators

You all know he's voting for the 'deal' right? You may be happy to slip into a no deal fortunately he and others are not.

Don't care but i hope Blinky, Inky and Pinky get him before he eats a power pill.

Of course it will with queen Bercow!

It frustrates me that his constituents will not have the chance to vote him out. I believe he is not standing for re-election? DrainTheSwamp

So what if the EU say no chance then all these anti Democrats are Fd

If Labour are worried about protecting workers rights then all they need do is win an election and introduce whatever rights they think are fair. Oh...

The damage their actions have cause to the democratic fabric of our society is immeasurable. History will not be kind to these MP's who think this action is better than No-Deal They have to fight an election.

Brexit will never happen a coalition government of liberals will be instituted by the UN before that happens. Check the list of coalition governments they have already instituted in almost all western countries. Once they get the UK it’s officially a totalitarian state

Delay it until 31st Jan. And when we get there you’ll want to delay it again & again. This is just embarrassing now

We are fed up with theses wind bang idiotic fools who only want to ride the EU gravy train.

Why doesn’t he just go away! This democratic vote has to be honoured!!!

You can't really justify calling them anti-no deal MPs when they're trying to amend the motion on the deal - they're remainers.

It’s quite simple, if you really believe that strongly in the EU, bugger off to a country that does the same

Complete madness. Delay for the sake of it whilst hiding their true intentions. Snakes all of them.

Letwin attention seeking again

Pretty cunning amendment, and likely to pass. With a deal negotiated, Boris still looks in a strong position for a GE.

We need a finalsay vote amendment.

Oh pls f**k off... bobptd

Eventually they are all shi**ing their pants due to the (no deal) Brexit. 😂 It is never too late to reconsider the consequences of one's actions; perhaps this is a moment of clarity. The EU has it's issues; but the overall aim is for a brighter greener flourishing economic bloc, that heralds science & human advancement as an imperative. Its because my friend sees his Brexit Party on the brink
