There's already a couple of amendments to the PM's motion on extending Article 50, one from Ian Blackford and one from Peter Bone
Quick reminder.: This is the motion the PM must put before the House under the Cooper bill, which was passed last night.
It does give MPs the power to amend the requested date of extension. Blackford's amendment, weirdly enough, doesn't extend the date. It simply makes it inflexible, removing the right for the UK to leave ahead of the June 30 deadline.

About a billion miles from what those talks will involve. They are so blind and dimwitted that they cannot even see the damage their blindness and dimwittedness has inflicted on us.
Fucking hell. These fucking buffoons.
What's really happening today: The UK is in a headlock and other countries will decide its fate. Just like last time. No talk of a withdrawal agreement. Not now or ever. You might as well try to play a DVD in a Betamax player.

The talk of EU member states, particularly France, rejecting a British extension question is massively overblown. Their bark is worse than their bite.
If Britain was not making an application, no-deal would still be likely. But it is. So to reject at this point is to sacrifice a fellow member state - Ireland - to chaos and economic damage when it was unnecessary.
That undermines the entire central idea of what the European Union is for. I get that they are super-pissed, bored and vigorously exasperated. I get that they are making threatening noises. I do not believe for a second that they'd do it.

NEW: Following plenty of nudges from @eucopresident that patience and a long extension is the sensible #Brexit option... today, Donald Tusk‘s team will today formally tell EU officials from member countries to endorse a long extension until *31 March 2020* /1
A senior EU official has told me that Mr Tusk told officials from the 27 remaining EU countries yesterday that “The only reasonable way out would be a long but flexible extension. I would call it a 'flextension'.... /2
”... How would it work in practice? We could give the UK a year-long extension, automatically terminated once the Withdrawal Agreement has been accepted and ratified by the House of Commons....” /3

I need to address something disgusting that needs to be challenged! Regardless of whether you are leave or remain (i'm remain). This picture is being floated around the web under the heading of #brexit protests and needs to be called out as false! 👇👇👇👇👇👇
I'd appreciate it if you would share this thread so everyone knows.
The picture above is being presented as pro-brexit protestors calling for the hanging of MP's in London. I am a remain supporter and while I find some of the things being done by the right wing brexiteers, I cannot condone this lie.

Ok. Short thread. Whilst crying. I have two friends. Best friends fighting terminal cancer. Or maybe more accurately trying to live with it. They won’t be cured. They know that. But they hope their oncologists will have every single option open to them in terms of treatment /1
In order for that to work my friends doctors will need to access Euratom to allow nuclear medicine to travel across Europe freely (bear in mind we didn’t even need to leave it). So when you are looking at end of life care do you think you give a fucking shit about yellow vests /2
Or the likes of Tommeh or Goddard or Fartage. No. What you need are the best minds across Europe bringing your medicine without any delay. Or ridiculous red tape. So you might wonder why I have been get getting angrier. Well here you go. Brexiteers you are killing my friends /3

#Brexit thread:

So. Tomorrow the House of Commons will vote on a series of possible amendments to Theresa May's 'Plan B' - or rather the 'plan of action to achieve a Plan B' - which itself officially reads as follows:
The amendment most likely to pass – and therefore the one on which most attention has been paid – is this one from Conservative party chairman Sir Graham Brady. It's effectively an instruction to go back and seek *some unstated other way* to avoid a hard border in Ireland:
Tonight, Theresa May has asked her backbenchers to vote in favour of this amendment. She is basically asking them to tie her hands, so that Brussels will clearly know what it would take to win the Commons' backing for any deal.

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
