They've split on party lines by and large. Brady will pass today and we'll reconvene in a fortnight, but some interest still in SpelmanThe Yvette Cooper amendment has been defeated due to Labour MPs giving in to racists. The idiots deserve to lose their jobs.
Cooper's job wasn't helped by Corbyn's procrastination. Get shot of him now.

I'm pretty close to being OK with a Clean Brexit. Interesting (Chinese meaning) times.
I'm OK with that if Brexit goes through.
And the pound starts to fall. The UK has descended into madness.
Poor voted for Brexit, we are so concerned Brexit will affect the poor, stupid thicko racist right wing leavers, now which is it people?
How do you feel about Scotland leaving the union too?
Have you got a good stockpile of canned food?
I think I’d rather move to Venezuela than the Little Engerland you crave.
The backstop keeps the UK tied to the EU until he EU negotiate & change the agreement over the following 21 months, i'm sorry but this is precisely why the leave camp will not accept it as the cards are firmly in the EU camp.
I don't crave anything. But I'm also now relaxed about Scotland leaving. In fact I'd try to move there.
You understand perfectly.
The poor will pay for this mess regardless of whether they voted remain or leave. The financial spivs such as Farage, Banks, Rees-Mogg, Hannan etc who engineered the whole situation will all do fine with their shorting, offshore accounts and financial chicanery, but those at the bottom will get to see what austerity really looks like. I am prepared to bet that if we fail to avert this ugly nationalist stupidity the numbers queuing at food-banks or dying in shop doorways goes up, not down, and by quite some margin. It is just simple math: a recession/depression, which is inevitable, means more unemployed, less tax-revenue, and therefore less resources for our decaying public services. We’ll be lucky to even have enough police/army to take on the rioting gammon once the penny drops that they’ve been had!
Another dingbat fantasist.
Just suppose we didn't pay the 39BN - which we owe, and have agreed we owe - just suppose we didn't pay it, what sort of trade deals might we subsequently attract, with a recent 39BN default, and what sort of rates might we be able to borrow at?
I'm glad you enjoyed the program. I've yet to see it.

No, they exceeded that in the first month. And have gone from strength to strength since.It is lunacy to set in stone one element of a complex negotiation until all moving parts are agreed. The govt have displayed negotiation skills to rival the Blair / Brown PFI deals.
