FEBRUARY RECAP BY BEN MACKENZIE WE MIGHT BE IRRELEVANT BUT AT LEAST WE’RE NOT CORBYN AND MAY.
Theresa May defeated when Parliament votes against a motion supporting the government’s approach towards negotiating with the EU.
A party split appears when members of Labour and the Conservatives form the Independent Group.
Theresa May promised a vote for this date, which was later delayed to the 12th of March. Instead, a motion was voted for which stated that “this House notes the Prime Minister’s statement on Leaving the European Union of 26 February 2019; and further notes that discussions between the UK and the EU are ongoing.” Two amendments were also voted on - one which sought an agreement between the UK and EU to commit to the protection of citizens rights, and one which wanted Theresa May to specify a timeframe for the next meaningful vote.
