Vote on Brexit: May wins the vote of no confidence and wants to "deliver immediately"

>>> <<< UPDATE

Theresa May: declaration after the no confidence vote

23:04: May arrived before the press. The British prime minister acknowledged that the agreement negotiated with the EU had failed. The surviving vote of distrust means for them, but now that they have to "deliver the Brexit now" and then implement the result of the referendum.

May called on all parties to put aside individual interests and to discuss Brexit together. From tomorrow, he will hold talks with ministers and representatives of other parties.

She was "disappointed" by Jeremy Corbyn, the Labor Party leader. So far, he has not responded to their invitation to participate in the talks. May stressed that the country had approved a Brexit referendum and then promised both parties to implement it.

Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, however, denied discussions with May on condition that May does not rule out a disorderly Brexit.

22:24: British Prime Minister Theresa May wants to issue a statement late Wednesday evening in front of her London seat. This was confirmed by a government spokesman at the request of the German news agency. May, who voted in favor of a lack of confidence in parliament this evening, will speak at about 11.00 pm. In the beginning, the spokesperson could not comment on the contents of the declaration.

20:28: Opposition leader, Corbyn, could now be pressured. A large group of Labor MPs want to support the request for a second Brexit referendum. Corbyn had announced that he would consider this option if a new election proved to be impossible. A successful mistrust vote is the only viable way for Corbyn to do so, but it seems to be out of place. But it can not be excluded that Corbyn is planning a second attempt. The British had voted for the exit of the EU by a small majority in a referendum in June 2016.

Early elections will also lead to delays in the Brexit process.

Finland wants to continue protecting the ability of the British to live, work and study in the country.

Prime Minister Juha Sipilä told STT today that he invites all the British who live in Finland to register their immigration right as soon as possible, if they have not already done so.

Sturgeon stressed that it is "the democratic will of the Scots" to remain in the EU. This should be respected. "After two and a half years of chaos in Westminster, Scotland can no longer be ignored.Our place in Europe must be protected."

At the Brexit vote in June 2016, the majority of Scots were opposed to leaving the EU.

Vote of no confidence against May: the British opposition calls for new elections

Comment of the May Brexit: "The vivacity of a musty sports sock"

Once again the bird broke down the high circulation tabloid "The Sun": under the line "Brextinct", a word Brexit and "extinct" (extinct), was a collage with the Prime Minister's head on the body more 300 years ago to see the extinct Dodo bird. "Prime Minister zombi", "the breath of a musty sports sock" was under.

Michael Deacon of the Daily Telegraph wrote that the May vote for parliamentary approval shortly before the crucial Brexit vote had the "vivacity of a musty sporting sock". "He seemed convincing as a mother barking at her children, eating their cabbage or going to bed hungry," says the article.

"Zombie Cabinet and Zombie Opposition"

The "Times" columnist Matthew Parris also harshly criticized the government: "Parliament must take control of a zombie prime minister, a zombie cabinet and a zombie opposition".

The Guardian has asked the head of government to "humbly" approach their opponents to prevent an uncontrolled exit of Britain from the European Union. The country is in a historical situation, having to reconcile "the sovereignty of the people with the sovereignty of the parliament".

Britain must take responsibility now

Brexit: Olaf Scholz: "We are prepared"

10:56: Following the rejection of the Brexit Agreement by the British House of Commons, German politicians warned against a messy exit from Britain from the European Union. At the same time, government officials tried to ensure that Germany was also ready for this case. Vice-Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) spoke of a "bitter day for Europe". "We are prepared", assured the Minister of Finance on Twitter. "But a Brexit without rules is the worst of all possibilities."

10.34 clockThe rejection of the Treaty on Brexit with the EU by the British Parliament is, according to the economist Dennis Snower, a tragic decision. This would make it highly probable an unregulated EU exit, said Kiel Institute President for the World Economy (IfW) on Wednesday. "A" no deal "does not mean just a duty-free trade, but it is likely to temporarily interrupt trade between the EU and the UK."

09:23: After the British parliament rejected the Brexit agreement with the EU, Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas called on the British to clarify their position as quickly as possible.

"An orderly exit will remain our top priority in the coming weeks," said European chief negotiator Michel Barnier at the European Parliament on Wednesday. However, the danger of a Brexit without a contract is greater than ever. The next decisions would be in the UK alone.

The vote of the British House of Commons against over 18 months with the Brexit Treaty negotiated by the EU was very clear, said Barnier, but said: "At the moment it is too early to evaluate all the consequences of this vote." For opponents of the pact there are very different motivations.

8.45 clockEven the British ambassador Sebastian Wood does not anticipate the failure of the Brexit agreement on the fact that there will be another referendum in the UK outgoing from the EU. "At the moment I do not see the majority in parliament for a second referendum," Wood said Wednesday in the ZDF "Morgenmagazin". Furthermore, surveys showed that there was no mood change in the British population. "The will of Parliament remains to carry out the Brexit". After the rejection of Prime Minister Theresa May's treaty with the EU, we needed to remain calm and continue working on it.

Wood expects May to pass the vote of no confidence in the House of Commons at the request of Labor opposition this Wednesday night, because the conservatives in the government did not want new elections. So the Prime Minister will continue to fight for a regulated Brexit. "The strongest card in hand remains that no one has a proposal that has a better chance of obtaining a majority."

8.35: Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier has warned of the consequences of an unregulated withdrawal of the British from the EU. "It would lose everything in Europe," the CDU politician said Wednesday in the "morning" of the ZDF. Above all, the British would suffer from an unregulated EU exit. This would have serious consequences for wealth and employment. However, this would not go without a trace of the European Union.

At the same time, Altmaier woke up for serenity. "I think we should give the British the opportunity to clarify their position." In his view, there is no majority in the British parliament for an unregulated exit. He clarified that the agreement of Prime Minister Theresa May with the EU was "substantially non-negotiable". However, if the British government were proposing something new, it would be necessary to talk about "what it means for us in the EU".

Heiko Maas on the Brexit vote: the United Kingdom now "on the ball"

08:23: Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) calls for clarity from Britain. The country is now "on the train", Maas told Wednesday on Deutschlandfunk. The members of the lower house did not make clear what they wanted: only what they did not want. "It's not enough", said the foreign minister.

First of all, the outcome of the vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Theresa May will have to be expected Wednesday evening, as well as her new proposal for parliament. A fall in May would complicate the situation, Maas said. The negotiations need a stable government in London.

A postponement of the exit of the EU of the British, scheduled for the end of March, judges the Maas difficult, also in view of the upcoming European elections in May. Also, he needed a clear line from London for a postponement: "This only makes sense if there is a way to reach an agreement between the EU and the UK, but at the moment it is not a majority opinion. in the United Kingdom Parliament ".

Clock 06.50: May shows herself strong in the fight: even if she went swimming without mercy with her vote and now faces a vote of no confidence, but her speech after the result shows that she still does not want to give up. "The house has spoken and the government will follow the example." It is obvious that the house does not want to support the agreement, but today's vote does not tell us what the house really means, "says May. Things that are going on seem to be uncertain.

Many British media like this "Times" or "Telegraph" see the problem with May itself "Telegraph" writes that May was too friendly with the EU and was more likely to break with it to advance the country, while the"Times" It also requires that the May compromise and action that was not ready to take before. "This includes preparing for a permanent customs union or a call to voters to support the EU in a second referendum – no matter how unattractive it may seem at the moment." Now it seems almost inevitable that you ask for a postponement for Brexit beyond March, "the newspaper writes. And also the "Independent" sees the only way out in a new referendum.

The President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker believes that the uncontrolled Brexit is not unlikely and therefore asks London to clearly and intentionally formulate its intentions. After all, on March 29, the scheduled withdrawal date would soon arrive.

Brexit vote in the House of Commons: Corbyn launches a no confidence motion in May – probably Wednesday's decision

20:48: Ian Blackford from the Scottish National Party is asking May to "take responsibility" – he welcomes the motion of no confidence. Now discussions are needed with all the leaders of the opposition parties, there is no majority for this agreement.

20.45 clock: Corbyn also arrives at the word. May refused to engage in dialogue, he exclaims. "He can not believe that, after two years of failure, he will negotiate a good deal for our people," he underlines. It is important to clarify whether the administration of May still has Parliament's confidence – filed a motion of no confidence, proclaims Corbyn.

20.40 clock: "Obviously this was a refusal, but that does not say anything beyond what actually supports the lower room," May says in her first reaction. We need to think of solutions that seem "able to negotiate" and find approval in parliament, underlines May – which seems well conceived. Their government wanted to stick to the Brexit. The government wants to discuss a vote of no confidence tomorrow, he said, referring to a threat from Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Vote on Brexit in the lower house: the result is here – May loses

20:39: Theresa May lost the vote. There are 202 votes against 432 no.

20:36: The announcement of the result should be imminent.

20:31: After the vote in the Hammersprung procedure, the room fills up again. A result has not yet been announced.

20:23: The potentially explosive amendment by John Baron has been rejected. 600 of the 650 members of the lower house voted "no", only 24 with "yes". This is what John Bercow has just announced. Members are now moving towards the long-awaited (senior) vote on the Brexit affair.

Vote on Brexit in the lower house: three out of four amendments withdrawn

20:13: The House of Commons has now withdrawn three out of four amendments to the United Kingdom Government's motion for a resolution on the Brexit agreement. Only the request of the conservative John Baron, who is a clear supporter of a British exit from the European Union, must be voted. In application, it requires a non-participation clause from the contested guarantee for an open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as enshrined in the Brexit agreement. If the proposal unexpectedly finds a majority, Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit agreement in its current form would be a waste.

20:02: The debate ended in time. MEPs stand up and are about to vote: four amendments must be decided. These votes will be made before the actual vote on the Brexit agreement.

Two of the motions are directly contrary to the Brexit agreement. Two others provide the condition for a one-way exit clause for London. Therefore, the agreement in its current form would also be to lose. However, one of the amendments is unlikely to be accepted.

– Work amendment: The Labor party's amendment rejects the May Brexit agreement and also a withdrawal without agreement. Instead, he calls for a closer connection with the EU.

– SNP amendment: The Scottish National Party and the Welsh Plaid Cymru also want to reject the agreement directly with their amendment and request the postponement of Brexit.

– Leigh-amendment: The hardliners Brexit Edward Leigh wants to assert a unilateral right of termination for London from the withdrawal agreement.

– Baron-amendment: John Baron, also a Tory brexiter, calls for an opt-out clause from the controversial guarantee of an open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as enshrined in the Brexit agreement.

Brexit vote in the news ticker: May speaks in the lower house

19:55: Theresa May attacks Labor leader Corbyn – he lacks "consistency": "It means being able to negotiate another deal in a few weeks – although the EU has clearly rejected it." Likewise, Corbyn claimed to be able to prevent a blockade in Northern Ireland, although this would also make the deal with the outbreak of the EU, says the Prime Minister. It is the most important vote in the political careers of all parties, he continues. The decision "will define the United Kingdom for the next decades". "We can choose to keep our promise and not undermine trust in politics," May appealed to parliamentarians.

19.49 clock: Again and again, there is an audible resentment in the lower room – the speaker John Bercow exhorts the delegates in a curious tone to rest: "Zen, Om, a little bit of restraint!"

19:46: "We have no choice but to vote this deal today," May says. "It's a fair balance between all our hopes and our desires." It promises MEPs "consensus with parliament" for a second phase of the research negotiations.

19.40 clock: Now Prime Minister Theresa May joins the lectern. At the start of practice in conciliatory terms: "No one who has seen this debate can doubt that the lower house is the cornerstone of our democracy," emphasizes May. May insists on the "democratically precipitated decision" for a Brexit to remember. A second referendum is not an option. Their agreement provides "security for companies" and good security cooperation with the EU, states May – "no agreement" means "no transition period".

Brexit vote in the news ticker: change of strategy in Mays Torys – vote decides?

19:30: Meanwhile, the BBC journalist, Laura Kuenssberg, wants to know about a possible surprising change: she could then get to the House of Commons vote to a large number of abstentions, which could ultimately allow for a transition of the agreement.

His colleague Tom Newton Dunn del Sun confirmed this presentation in a tweet. Members of the Conservative party of Theresa May told him that the factions changed their strategy and tried to persuade the "Tory rebels" to refrain.

Brexit vote: opposition leader Corbyn talks about the "leap in the dark"

19:28: Currently, Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn speaks to the House of Commons. Call the Brexit deal presented as a "bold leap in the dark".

Renegotiation of the agreement with the EU should not be excluded.

19:04: Meanwhile, the streets of London are exploding – both Brexit supporters and opponents demonstrate their respective views on Tuesday night, such as photos of the British capital.

Vote on Brexit in the lower house: Tory changes his mind – for a notable reason

18:28: Still does not seem good for Theresa Mays Brexit Deal – however, the Brexit debate before the vote in the lower house meanwhile bizarre flowers. So the opponent Neil Parish has apparently changed the fronts and now wants to support May's proposal, as the journalist of SkyNews Aubrey Allegretti Tweeted on Wednesday evening,

Parish's reasoning seems curious. There are "some MPs who have tried to reverse the outcome of the Brexit referendum and to keep us in the EU using procedural tricks", states Allegretti to the Conservative Member. In short, Parish fears that a refusal of the agreement will end up warding Brexit on another referendum – and now he wants to accept the clause "rather a bad Brexit than without Brexit" reluctantly.
