Can someone please explain me what those two votes today actually meant specifically? I'm a bit lost here.

EDIT: 148 is pretty much a nazi number. Just without a "Hail".

The government put forward a motion that said "We rule out no-deal Brexit on March 29th". It was amended in a surprise vote beforehand to just say, "We rule out no-deal Brexit", and then was voted on and passed. Parliament has made its will known that it wants no-deal Brexit ruled out.

In order to get to this point, a lot of Tories had to abstain or vote against their own government.

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

realistically, the eu would probably accept an extension given a) scrapping of may's red lines, b) some kind of changing of the guard or c) a referendum of some sort

so e.g. if labour's brexit proposal somehow got through it would constitute meaningful change in the premises for negotiation, and it would be fairly unreasonable of the EU to refuse to give that a go

First one - We, are in concept, to not leave on a No Deal basis
Second - We are SERIOUSLY not going to leave on a No Deal basis
Third - Basically confirming the first

Yeah... is polling clear that if a second referendum were held that Remain would have a clear victory? Or that a general election would produce a more unified government?

Just seems that given what the EU has said about an extension, it just doesn't seem super likely to me that the criteria would be met. That is, no Brexit / no Deal are both more likely than a later deal.

The last polling I can see is from January & had Remain leading, but not significantly enough to be particularly confident about the result.

Nadhim Zahawi is one of the loving stupidest men in parliament, just a total toadie without an independent thought of his own.

Don't be too sure. People in Brussels are starting to take personal offence at the UK's attitude.

So, the British Government decided that the default which automatically happens in two weeks can not happen under any circumstances. Got it.
Was there a single British vote with any relation to Brexit which wasn't absolute chaos?

So. After promising a vote on an extension, May is making it conditional on approving her deal before next week. She's lied, and people are very angry.

May is going for Meaningful Vote 3 and hoping Brexiteers are so dismayed by the prospect of a long extension or no Brexit that they vote it through.

It might work, but if she wants to play hardball with the DUP I know where my money would be. She's breaking all her promises here and the likelihood is her motion tomorrow will be amended back to what people thought it would be when she promised it.

I don't think we're totally doomed. BUT. This is currently still a likely outcome because of how utterly hopeless the government is.

To be fair this Scottish bloke talking right now has lost the plot as well. The EU will not accept an indefinite extension without a very clear reason. "We haven't figured out how to put our pants on yet" is not an acceptable reason.

EU elections are in May. To my knowledge, the EU wants this business settled before then. May would have to basically convince the EU27 of the feasibility of another GE or referendum and the plan it &, campaign for, and carry it out within weeks.
