THREAD: How the Thomas the Tank Engine characters voted in the EU referendum.

THOMAS: Remain. Really likes the BBC's Brexitcast podcast and recommends it to everybody. https://t.co/JCB8gRInZM

I see Brexit is working for those who voted for it.

He has vowed to “fight on” apparently.

Providing it was only EU migrants they were concerned about.

"The ONS estimated that about 229,000 more non-EU citizens moved to the UK than left in the year ending June 2019."

Frying pan and fire should spring to mind. If Brexit was their answer to their problems.

They can already control those migrants. Don’t seem to be very good at it though!!

It's not like they've been in power for 10 years or anything.

MPs have voted for the Withdrawal Agreement bill.

358 to 234

The UK is on its way to leaving the EU.

The size of that majority points to a fair number of Labour MPs breaking ranks.

Whatever England wants is what will happen now. We just have to accept that.

Hasn't the Rees-Mogg family trust relocated its HQ to Ireland?

6 voted with the Tories, not sure about abstentions.

Edit - and 32 abstained.

I think an investment company he's involved with moved its funds there.

Almost a fifth of Labour MPs go against Corbyn's instructions to vote against the bill. That leadership election can't come quick enough for them.

***Moulin Yarns*** · 20-12-2019 04:20 PM

I believe today is called mad Friday, parliament confirmed it.

Ironically the result of it is completely out of their control. Blairites like them should just cross the floor now.

The DWP jobsworth who made this decision should be publicly birched, as, of course, should the heartless members of the government who made this possible. What an outrage.

There is not enough information there to be outraged or anything else.

For starters "disability benefit" means nothing at all. As the doctor knows .

A terminally ill women having benefit taken from her is outrageous, no matter what.

On reflection, I agree.

Terminally ill means death can be expected within six months.

It would be nice to hear the reasoning behind the decision.

Oh look, US takeover of UK defence company approved by the government.

I'm not sure that the Americans have thought this whole thing through properly. When the time comes, how are they going to fit a 51st star in to the existing neat pattern on their flag?
