Tulip Siddiq seems to be milking the attention for as much as she can get. She is far from the only pregnant woman to have been working right up to her due date.

Nothing. She might be right about everything, it still doesn't matter if parliament doesn't accept that she is right.

165 here. Still monstrous, but missing the record.
Losing the record by 1.
Sad!
I think my prediction of 195 will result in her setting a record which will stand the test of time. The circumstances where a PM takes a vote forward when so firmly opposed will be limited.

Sky suggesting that ramping up the importance of the vote when you are expecting a hammering was, well, unwise.
I don't see how. It is important, and nothing she says will change that or the outcome. Nothing she says will mitigate that an important vote has been humiliatingly lost. There's enough to actually criticise her about without stuff like that.
It's amazing to reflect that after the last few years of hatred and division Theresa May tonight has united the House of Commons and the wider country.
It is disturbing to reflect she has done so by delivering on their instructions, getting an extremely good deal that actually should satisfy most requirements, and the had them all shout that this isn't what they wanted.
What does that say about us as a nation?
It’s easier to be against something. We live in times where we are used to getting exactly what we we want. Repeatedly we have heard that May should have tried to get a consensus, but labour policy is that we need an election and Corbyn to renegotiate - not sure how she could get Labour or SNP (Scotland wants remain) on board.

What has she got to lose?
The only thing I can think of is that she plans to resign tonight and tell the Remainers that thanks to their posturing, the EU has decided to bring forward our departure date to tomorrow - so we leave with no Deal.
Then having so thoroughly shat all over her enemies so they will never, ever stop smelling of it, she will walk away cackling with laughter.

What does she have up her sleeve?
Disagree. May was nominally appealing to Labour MPs to vote with her for the good of the country but spent her effort on trashing Corbyn. Many Labour MPs are doubtful about Corbyn, nevertheless he's one of them. If May insults Corbyn she insults them too.

As I recall, she did invite Corbyn for talks on a way forward, and he publicly emailed her a copy of his manifesto, saying 'If you do this I'll support you.'

Is she one of these too posh to push Hampstead mummies? Also, postponing the date of her C-section seems silly. It's not as if the vote is close. And doesn't it mess the NHS around? Or is she going private?
Frankly turning up for an hour to make a speech and vote is hardly hard work.
With my third, I worked up to the Friday and he was born at 6 am on the Monday, on the due date.
Anyway, she's MP for a very Remainy constituency so what the hell is she doing voting against the deal and making no deal more likely?

Shame about the rest of us.
That would hardly be sh%tting on her main enemies, the ERG.
Ooh, finally a spread on the vote. I’d sell at 217, would rather have sold at 222 earlier today though, damn work and life getting in the way of PB as usual. This looks like it’s going to be over earlier than expected tonight?
Why don't we have electronic voting? This is pretty ridiculous.
I remember watching the Scottish Parliament a couple of years ago when they had the vote on indyref2, and how strange it seemed that they voted and announced the result within a minute, compared to the ridiculous circus they have at Westminster whenever they vote on something.

Seeking remain. MPs do not fear no deal as much as they pretend they do, they are very happy to risk it in order to get remain. Or they outright want no deal at least like the ERG.

The procedures are literally built into the fabric of the Palace of Westminster. If it burned down they'd take the chance to do a bit of modernisation. Probably.

He who controls the machines controls the result. Bodies are harder to fake.
Hey, Beverley, don't worry. Me and my squad of ultimate Brexiteers will protect you! Check it out. Independently targeting particle-beam phalanx. WHAP! Fry half a city with this puppy.

Bit ludicrous as an argument. She could hardly stand up and say, "You think THIS vote is important? You wait until the second reading of the Collective Defined Contributions Pensions Bill next week... that'll be a humdinger!"
There isn't scope to downplay it, so why bother? Put up the best show you can, and hope some of the public at least say, "She's doing her level best - it's those c*cks behind and in front of her who are the problem."

And that's why Barron insisted on a division - he wanted to lay down such a poor marker that the spin operation later can try and say "it got more votes than the amendment did".

24 votes for Baron's ludicrous amendment.
If it was defeated by that much, why did the Speaker let it go forward?

If she wants to survive Brexit not happening, she needs to avoid being seen as responsible for betraying the referendum.
Tulip Siddiq constantly putting herself where she can be seen by the TV cameras
Perhaps her aunt is seeing if May can go down to a bigger defeat than her opponents managed. She might be wondering how even when she rigs elections she ends with lower winning margins than this.

No - it was direct contact from Andrea Leadsom. This would have been played utterly down the line - but it was rebuffed.
