The Withdrawal Agreement Bill and Programme Motion Votes – Brexit Explained
It’s never easy to stay up to date with Brexit, but last night was especially crazy. MPs were voting on the Withdrawal Agreement Bill and on the government’s timetable for Brexit (programme motion). In this video we explain both as well as what last night’s votes mean for Brexit going forward.

To all with IQ above FREEZING point
(intellectually challenged continue to live as you do now).
Number one:
UNITED KINGDOM PEOPLE are only ones who can decide own future!
THEIR VOTE is FINAL.
They will have to live with their decisions.
———————————————
MPS have NO RIGHT to implement in COMMONS their own agendas.
Not a single MP be it GRANDAD of COMMONS or GRANDMA have any RIGHT to implement their own VIEWS.
NOBODY from MPS, who suppose to represent the UNITED KINGDOM nation its PEOPLE
have that right, that includes Commons SPEAKER.
DUTY of all MPS whomever they may be and forgotten whom they WORK FOR
MUST FULFILL their DUTIES to people who elected them.
MPS MUST IMPLEMENT "PEOPLES WILL" and VOTE and PEOPLES DECISION.
While sitting on green benches.
If they fail, that is not DEMOCRACY as they so freely repeatedly loudmouth
but MPS' ANARCHY in COMMONS, where strong-arm and loud mouth self-centred
individuals rule that is called ~THE ANARCHY~ by MPS.
650 MPS including *speaker* MUST FOLLOW PEOPLES DECISION
or not only MONARCHY will perish, but also any DEMOCRACY and the UK will become
TOTALITARIAN ANARCHY ~FREE FOR ALL state.
So far, with utmost ARROGANCE in their DUTIES to UK NATION PEOPLE
MPS acted as peoples dictators, not peoples servants. MPS must SERVE PEOPLE.
Before UNITED KINGDOM became member in sick EU Empire, an old dream of ADOLF,
UK was power worldwide.
UNITED KINGDOM after LEAVING without **any ties** to collapsing EU EMPIRE
will RECOVER from sickness fast and will RISE AGAIN AS KINGDOM to recon with
WORLDWIDE.
EU is not an Emergency I.V. & oxygen to GREAT BRITAIN ~ UNITED KINGDOM but suffocating monster, blood-sucking leeches vampires planning to destroy the UK. That way EU will eliminate their competition.
Only those who profit by raking billions like arms dealers, love to have ties to the EU scream to stay.
THEY TRY TO SABOTAGE EXIT BY UK FROM DEFUNCT EMPIRE of EU.
UNITED KINGDOM MUST, to SURVIVE as KINGDOM, shed SHACKLES of despotic EU regime to flourish once again.
40 years in, grow huge dependency and surrender to strangers WILL.
UK never benefitted by membership.
Without blood money paid to the EU by enslaved UK taxpayers, the EU will collapse in 2 years at most.
We were under jackboots of EU 40 years.
BUT BEFORE thousands of years this country was PREMIUM land and people.
What changed?
HAS UNITED KINGDOM morphed to vassals' country?
No more SOVEREIGN UNITED KINGDOM with our QUEEN as our MONARCH and head of State???
Have MPS became UNITED KINGDOM RULES, "monarchs", little piddling emperors self-gratifying
conceited egomaniacs, addressing themselves most pompously as
Most learned, learned, noble, honourable, etc, yet few actually looked in DICTIONARY
and see what titles really mean.
Maybe then, MPS would realize and act accordingly, as MPS working for HONOURABLE UNITED KINGDOM
PEOPLE. THEIR BOSSES.
We all, are honorable subjects to our QUEEN, OUR MONARCH, including in Commons, outgoing speaker.
REALIZE THAT BERCOW.
ACT with honour MPS, if you know what that word means.

Disgraceful duplicity! This is tiresome and it's putting our nation in danger, not least our citizens living in Europe.

The mood of the nation today in regard to Europe must be established, devoid of the fear mongering and dog whistles that were so blatantly flaunted during the build up to the Brexit referrendum. We cannot crash our based on a false premis, it's dangerous. When will be get some responsible people in government.

The biggest deception is the government pretending to try and get a deal done by an institution that wouldn't re open change or negoitate PM Mays deal, oh, then it just goes and does just that.
Then we have parliament pretending to have faux outrage at any deal purporting to bxt.
And thus the faux impasse creates to landscape of;
oh, we can't get anything past parliament, we have to vote again…

History will judge “pursuing this close and special relationship” brexit as one of the biggest fuck ups. It’s not the EU’s fault, it is the fault of UK politicians. You can’t have your cake and eat it. You’re either fully in or fully out, otherwise it becomes too complicated…. since they never pursued a FTA initially, they should leave under WTO rules, and now pursue a new FTA…. then have a review in 10 years or so. Would have saved the UK looking like a complete laughing stock to the rest of the world….. I don’t get UK politicians either…. can they not see how embarrassing this is for them not only in Europe, but globally….

tryin to scare people into votin your way after refusing to give proper time for due diligence on top of this newfound fear of a trapdoor no deal when youve already asked for and been told that an extension would be granted. makes me seriously question whose timetable is the boris really working on. cant be the EU's theyre good till february
@evannibbe9375
December 31, 2023 at 7:43 pm
In other words, Boris Johnson successfully achieved a no-deal Brexit as if they do not pass the WAB by October 31st (which it seems they will not) they will fall completely out of the EU.
I doubt the EU will unanimously support an extension on the grounds that Boris Johnson said such would be bad for their relationship.
@StYxXx
December 31, 2023 at 7:43 pm
It wouldn't be wise for the EU to grant a "flextention": Those brexit delays cause a lot of uncertainty. Businesses have to plan their spendings in advance but they don't know how the UK and the EU will look like in a few weeks. This uncertainty is more harmful for some than a hard brexit. How could you plan trading if you don't know how trading will be possible? Should a EU company make deals with UK companies? What price should they offer? Do you include future tariffs or delays at the border? A lot of questions unanswered at the moment. A few companies (like Flybmi) already went bankrupt. So any delay is bad for the economy. But a delay without a defined time period woud be even worse.
Also it's again a shame how unprofessional UK politicians act. A bill that was ready for months get presented a day before the vote. What could possibly go wrong? And again the whole EU is affected by those games. All of this could've been solved YEARS ago.
