Theoretically, May could prorogue Parliament and then begin a new session - allowing her to put the vote again.

This whole thing has some serious twists and turns left in it imo. The only certainty now its that it's going to get a lot messier.

Bring back the Monarchy, imo

No Brexit for you naughty people. Your betters know what's best for you.

Now get back to work to pay your taxes and don't trouble the establishment with your silly notions of freedom and democracy ever again.

I wouldn't bet on that if I were you. He may - inadvertently - have just done the cause of Brexit a huge favour.

I don't think he's ever done anything inadvertently.

The 'offer before the house' has to be substantially different, not similar to any previously put before the house.

He's just pulled a convention from 1604 out of his árse to scupper Brexit?

1604? Nothing like progress, is there?

No, he pulled a convention that has been used between 1604 and 1920 but hasn't been needed since cos no-one tried it on.

However, the Tories can just follow the convention Atlee used in 1948 to replace the 1911 Parl Act (and thus reduce the Lords delay from 2 yrs to 1) by proroguing Parl, and starting a new session the next day with a fresh Queen's Speech.

Bet Brenda will love that.
