Debate (B)

MPs in the UK have begun debating the bill to trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. <br /><br /> This would give Theresa May the go-ahead to launch <br />formal negotiations for Britain to leave the EU. <br /><br /> Two days have been set aside for the second reading debate of the EU (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill. <br /><br /> A vote is scheduled for Wednesday evening. <br /><br /> Will this be a straightforward process?<br /><br /> Insiders are expecting the Bill to clear its first parliamentary hurdle fairly easily. <br /><br /> The opposition Labour Party has already said it will not block the triggering of Article 50, the act which will trigger the start of the two-year Brexit process. <br /><br /> Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is trying to contain a revolt by some Labour MPs. <br /><br /> Starmer:“this is a short Bill, a simple Bill, and for the Labour Party a difficult Bill”. Tory benches laugh. Starmer tries candour strategy— Faisal Islam (@faisalislam) January 31, 2017<br /><br /> The majority voted against Brexit in last June’s referendum. <br /><br /> Corbyn has imposed what is known as a “three-line whip”:http://www.parliament.uk/about..../mps-and-lords/princ ordering them to vote for the Bill at its second reading.<br /><br /> Shadow ministers Jo Stevens and Tulip Siddiq have already quit in protest. <br /><br /> Other front benchers – particularly those representing <br />constituencies which voted for Remain – say they will oppose the Bill, even if it costs them their jobs. <br /><br /> The SNP and the Liberal Democrats are not backing the Bill. <br /><br /> I thought the UK had already decided to leave the EU?<br /><br /> Ministers were forced to table this legislation after the Supreme Court upheld an earlier ruling that the Government must obtain the approval of Parliament before it can begin negotiating Britain’s withdrawal from the EU. <br /><br /> They are insisting the Bill will complete its passage through <br />both houses of Parliament in time for the Prime Minister to meet her deadline of March 31 to trigger Article 50.<br />

The issue was raised in Holyrood by local MSPs Kate Forbes with education secretary Jenny Gilruth and Jamie Halcro Johnston followed up demanding answers

India Debates: Modi's pre-emptive Pakistan strike

We didn’t watch, but we saw some social clips. Two idiots who don’t know anything about politics and barely saw any of the debates counts as an expert panel these days, if you ask me.<br /><br /><br />The long and short of it:<br /><br />1. John Delaney should give us money instead of running a presidential campaign for 15 million dollars that has a zero percent chance of winning.<br /><br />2. Beto O’Rourke proves don’t ever listen to people on Twitter. He lost a Senate race but Twitter loved him and now he’s stuck on a stage wondering why he’s there.<br /><br />3. Bernie is hilarious.
