Not unexpected. The partisan speaker has ruled not to allow a vote that Brexit supporters would win, because they would win it.

We are in unprecedented territory. The deal has a popular majority, a majority in the Commons, the government and the EU support it. But the Remain-supporting speaker is preventing a vote to resolve the issue, finally.

People have gone to the Tower for less.

I hope parliament is permitted a vote by its Speaker. It sounds like he plans to prevent it, in spite of the recent arguments of Remainers about allowing democracy through the expression of the will of parliament.

If the deal fails because the Northern Irish reject it, so be it. No bad blood.

If parliament is not allowed to vote, then there will be very bad blood. Utterly hypocritical. To me, treacherous.

Some Brexiter with the flu may decide to cough on the Speaker.
