Brexit: MPs reject Theresa May's deal for a second time

MPs voted down the prime minister's deal by 149 - a smaller margin than when they rejected it in January.

Mrs May said MPs will now get a vote on whether the UK should leave the EU without a deal and, if that fails, on whether Brexit should be delayed.

She said Tory MPs will get a free vote on a no-deal Brexit.

That means they can vote with their conscience rather than following the orders of party managers - an unusual move for a vote on a major policy, with Labour saying it showed she had "given up any pretence of leading the country".

but I think May is all right, isn't she?

The entire Brexit movement reminded me of a local guy guy named Tim Eyman who appealed to the working man in Seattle by leading the charge for one price license tabs. (He's up to it again this year -- probably emboldened by Trump's America) Reminds me of the guy who whipped the Brits into the Brexit frenzy. Right wing assholes.
