1) Please watch this, all the way through. @nicholaswatt reporting of Bercow's intervention
Consider the context, May delaying & then bringing the same deal over & over.
Does anyone seriously think this is a balanced reporting of the issue?

@nicholaswatt 2) would you know from this report that submitting the same vote over and over is against HoC convention, or that May intended to blackmail MPs and force their hand, or that the very concept of a "meaningful vote" is a mockery, even though MPs fought for it?
@nicholaswatt 3) we're used to BBC pro #Brexit bias but this is disgraceful, @nicholaswatt parroting Cabinet ministers (with extra emphasis on key phrases) on Bercow "wrecking Brexit", nothing on the issue itself, the 3rd of 4 attempts to bludgeon this vote through
@nicholaswatt 4) there is *one* story here, that May has tried every trick in the book to bypass, ignore & then force Parliament to follow her personal #Brexit plan, in defiance of our democracy.
The speaker has stepped in and quite rightly said "enough, change the bill before resubmitting"

@nicholaswatt 5) you would never know this from @nicholaswatt 's report, only that Bercow is a rogue Remainer intent on thwarting Brexit
