That was not a balanced audience at all and the lady in the middle of it who fought the case for a People's vote was top notch with good reasoning why it should go back to the people. Also a "special mention" for the SNP's Kirsty Blackman who was articulate and unfazed by this kinda shit and put that regular RW creton of a brexit backer, Isobel Oakeshott, "in her place" on a number of occasions by correcting her re some of her usual inaccurate and deceptive comments to suit her case to back a "no deal" and brexit. That was a disgrace in Derby last night!!
Lastly, is this the start of the bbc "loading up" their QT audiences with RW brexit shit heids/thickos and is it just me but did that new QT presenter, Fiona Bruce, "blank" Kirsty Blackman on a couple of occasions re relevant clarifications incl brexit-EU processes if Article 50 extended?
The right wing is on the rise down south, absolutely no doubt about it. I think may is quite happy to give them the 'no deal' Brexit they crave.

In recent months, he has re-affirmed Labour's position on Brexit as ruling nothing out. Now he wants Mrs May to rule out a No Deal scenario. Hypocrite! He's in danger of becoming a laughing stock with his childish tantrums.
Almost everyone is just playing at politics with no thought of making progress. It's a pity Corbyn can't take some lessons from Ian Blackford (although I've critcised him in the past) in making points with some decorum and dignity.
As Devongone says, a No Deal is the logical outcome on 29 March if another plan cannot be agreed by Parliament and then the EU. If the EU reject it, then it is No Deal. So we need our MPs to get a grip and to actually do something. In the past 6 weeks we've had enough hot air to blast a hole in the ozone layer, but we're no further forward or better off than we were at the start.
Its really disapointing, I understand why Corbyn is sitting on the fence though mainly because the English electorate would desert labour if they went against Brexit. I get that, but he has shown pisspoor leadership in all of this.
'no deal' has always been the tory plan in my opinion. May is totally trapped.
