Prime Minister's Brexit plan defeated by 230 votes

Tuesday January 15, 2019. 08:43 PM , from BoingBoing
Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit plan was not expected to pass, but it was brutally murdered in a far larger margin of defeat than was expected: 432 to 202. This is the largest parliamentary defeat for a sitting government in history.
The options for the Brits now include a no-deal Brexit on March 29; desperate negotiations for a new plan; or asking for an extension from the EU while a fresh hell is organized, such as a new referendum or a general election.
Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn immediately tabled a no-confidence vote in May's government.
'Time is almost up,' wrote EU chief Jean-Claude Junker on Twitter within minutes of the lawmakers' vote.
