A bribe to get labour MPs in leave constituencies to vote for the deal. So transparent. And the money is a drop in the ocean compared to the damage Brexit will do to the economy

[Cherie]

Her deal is going through I feel

[bots]

My opinion changes daily at the moment, but i do think that the tide is turning in May's favour, lets face it, it couldnt get any worse. Today, I would say that the deal will go through.

Governments have been doing this type of stuff since time began, so labour are only pissed because they are not in a position to do it themselves.

This is old news, so it looks like it has been brought up again to coincide with the vote next week.
:shrug: not Mz Soubry trying to cling on to 15 minutes of fame.

[Underscore]

Yes it has been said a few months ago
it is to "Dig In" to try to win her vote

[bots]

it's more of a warning to those MP's in those constituencies that if they don't vote the right way they can swing for their money :laugh:

[Beso]

Money talks.

[Vicky.]

Amazing how much money can be pulled from thin air when things aren't going her way isn't it really..

May can promise anything she likes at this point as she will be long gone by the time the government have to deliver :laugh:
