The papers are dominated by Theresa May's last-minute delay to the meaningful vote on her Brexit deal.
The headlines make grim reading for Number 10. The "Lady IS for Turning" declares the front page of the Daily Telegraph, reversing Margaret Thatcher's famous statement; "May Running Scared" in "new Brexit shambles" is the Daily Mirror's take.
"Mayday!", declares the i, describing Mrs May's decision as an "extraordinary climbdown". Quentin Letts, in the Daily Mail, captures the highly-charged atmosphere in the Commons: "Has indecision ever been so dramatic?", he asks, writing that MPs on Monday "gawped" at Mrs May "rather as wildlife programme viewers will watch the slow demise of a baby hippo."
There's also little confidence that the prime minister's European meetings will change things.
The Times says Mrs May will "beg European leaders to rescue her Brexit deal", but the Economist points out the EU is unlikely to offer anything beyond "bland reassurances", which won't be legally binding in any case.
That won't satisfy her sceptical MPs, the Guardian argues, with even cabinet sources "voicing concern" about the strategy.

Thatcher was an easy time leader who used an ocean of free cash from the North Sea to destroy our coal miners and the rest.
In tough times being stubborn takes substance. Churchill and the Blitz to assert ourselves today will require strength, a capacity to endure. This isn’t the 1980s with its great big shoulder pads, actual broad shoulders matter now.

The “enemy” today is a great power spreading across the European continent, it’s not a pathetic basket case like Argentina.
Right-wingers should not get cocky over successfully sticking the boot into defenceless tramps 35 years ago.
Alexandra Mikhailovna Domontovich was born on 31 March 1872 in St. Petersburg. Her father, General Mikhail Alekseevich Domontovich (1830-1902), descended from a Ukrainian Cossack family that traced its ancestry back to 13th-century "dragon genealogy" served as a cavalry officer in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78 (sometimes referred to as the Bulgarian War of Independence). After his participation in the war, he was appointed Provisional Governor of the Bulgarian city of Tarnovo, and later Military Consul[definition needed] in Sofia. In May 1879 he was called back to St. Petersburg. He entertained liberal political views, favoring a constitutional monarchy like that of Great Britain. In the 1880s he wrote a study of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 This study was confiscated by the Tsarist censors, presumably for showing insufficient Russian nationalist zeal. Alexandra's mother, Alexandra Androvna Masalina (Massalina) (1848-1899), was the daughter of Alexander Feodorovich Masalin (Massalin) (1809-1859), a Finnish peasant who had made a fortune selling wood. Alexandra Androvna Masalina became known as Alexandra Androvna Masalina-Mravinskaya after her marriage to her first husband, Konstantin Iosipovich Mravinsky (originally spelled Mrovinsky) (1829-1921). Her marriage to Mravinsky was an arranged marriage which turned out to be unhappy, and eventually she divorced Mravinsky in order to marry Mikhail Domontovich, with whom she had fallen in love. Russian opera singer Yevgeniya Mravina (stage name) was Kollontai's half-sister via her mother. The celebrated Soviet-Russian conductor Yevgeny Mravinsky, music director of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra for fifty years (1938-1988), was the only son of Mravina's brother Alexander Kostantinovich and thus Kollontai's half nephew...

Well, as for I know Europe only give her 2 options, sign the deal or have a hard Brexit without any regulations. They got her by the throat, she tried to get the best for the UK, but the majority seems to commit a political suïcide by choosing for a hard Brexit.
It's like a bankrobber holding a gun against the head of the bankmanager saying: you can choose, open the safe and have a decent life after all or die.

When I voted out I didn't mean treason May's out which is only 1% out, as I wanted the Boris Johnson out where it is only 1% in. Talking to the thugs from Brussels was going to be a waist of time as they know after a few years of us been out other countries will want to leave as well as their country will be far better out than in. A hard Brexit will hit the remaining countries hard and without our money the other countries will have to put their hand into their pocket deeper to keep it going. There is far more countries for us to trade with than just the remaining countries and to be told who we can trade with as now.

I believe that England would be better off with a hard Brexit. They should be taking care of themselves foremost.
It would help the EU if all countries stepped back and managed their own needs first.
The economic principle “Begger thy neighbor” has been going on for too long with Germany at the head. In the strategy, the only way to win is to stop stripping the riches from your poorer neighbors.
lindsyjones: A sigh of change that will annihilate these murderers.
Yes....
Oh a change is coming.. that is for sure.
"Allahu Akbar" (Yahoo Answers : It means "I have a bomb strapped to my waist and I am going to try to kill as many Kaffirs as I can before I paint the street with my intestines.")
CossackCat: Ssshhh.. you are not supposed to back them on that on CS. I tried over 2 years ago. So did others. That went over well Sure, Turkey, Islam the pipeline, the UN & the Vatican, will understand
You’re right... I need to keep my mouth shut and just watch the show. Sigh...
Inthecountryside: Don't give in for these people who want to put a gagging order on you and be an and post if you think Latvia will be better out of the EU as well.

Seriously it's time for everyone to wisen up.
Any indoctrinated principle based on murderous activities should be stopped.
Referendums in the United Kingdom are very occasionally held at a national, regional or local level. National referendums can be permitted by an Act of Parliament and regulated through the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, but they are by tradition extremely rare due to the principle of parliamentary sovereignty meaning that they cannot be constitutionally binding on either the Government or Parliament, although they usually have a persuasive political effect.

seems someone sold the People a phony Bill of Sale!
The EU puppet who works for the globalist EU is running back to her bosses and she should be gone by the weekend. A no deal is the best deal and the UK will have 39 billion to spend on public services. Who could take over from may? Nigel Farage? Rees mogg? Boris Johnson? Jeremy Corbyn? Other? A remainer can’t give the UK brexit and only a true leaver can do a credible job. The politicians have been proven to be self serving, corrupt, morally inept and dishonest, so the least they can do is give the people what they voted for, cause brexit means exit
