Already past the consideration for debate stage, but it's there if anyone wants to add on to it.
Now over 1m Afghanies and Russians have signed it. Around 900,000 since TM's disastrous speech yesterday.

Probably, but the fact it got 100,000 signatures means the government have to consider a debate on the topic, and maybe we can start to turn this into an honest conversation.

If parliament were to have a debate on article 50 on Monday, its a certainty that the majority to save face would say nope, not doing that. thats going against democracy. If the debate was scheduled after May's deal is off the table, most would have to take it seriously because they are on record as saying a no deal is not acceptable.

We'll see; the longer this is being screwed up and the closer we get to a no deal, there are going to be some politicians that realise what they're about to subject the country to. If we can build up the pressure (supposed to be a march in london on saturday) then we can try to give those politicians a backbone to stop this madness.

You'd make a great motivational speaker.

But dependent on May getting her deal through parliament a third time, which Bercow has vetoed. The votes indicate she will never get it through.

Still on course for Hard Brexit next Friday, with no deal

In the published draft conclusions of their meeting, the EU 27 say:

1. The European Council takes note of the letter of Prime Minister May of 20 March 2019.

2. In response, the European Council approves the Instrument relating to the Withdrawal Agreement and the Joint Statement supplementing the Political Declaration agreed beteween the European Commission and the government of the United Kingdom in Strasbourg on 11 March 2019.

3. The European Council commits to agreeing, before 29 March 2019, to an extension until 22 May 2019, provided the Withdrawal Agreement is approved by the House of Commons next. Given that the United Kingdom does not intend to hold elections to the European Parliament, no extension is possible beyond that date.

4. The European Council reiterates that there can be no reopening of the Withdrawal Agreement that was agreed between the Union and the United Kingdom in November 2018. Any unilateral commitment, statement or other act should be compatible with the letter and the spirit of the Withdrawal Agreement.

5. The European Council calls for work to be continued on preparedness and contingency at all levels for the consequences of the United Kingdom's withdrawal, taking into account all possible outcomes.

[MPs urged not to travel home alone as tensions rise
Deputy Speaker Lindsay Hoyle has written
to all MPs ahead of potentially crunch Brexit
votes next week.
"I have never felt this level of tension during
my time in the House and I am aware
other colleagues feel the same," wrote Mr Hoyle.
He said regional police forces have been
told to be aware of tensions both at
Westminster and locally.
He added that the Metropolitan Police has
been told it must take a lead to ensure MPs
can vote without fear. ]

Overkill?

The armed forces have activated a team in a nuclear-proof bunker under the Ministry of Defence as the government prepares next Monday to enter "very high readiness mode" for a no-deal Brexit, Sky News can reveal.

Control of overall planning for the impact of the UK leaving the European Union without a withdrawal agreement next week shifts from the Cabinet Office to the government's emergency committee Cobra.

The only retaliation from Brexiters, if they're ignored, will be at the ballot box.

Be careful what you wish for.
