Southport MP Damien Moore's vote could be a key one as the final battle over a meaningful vote is joined in the House of Commons this afternoon.
The vote in the House of Commons is expected around 3.30pm today. MPs will decide whether to permit Theresa May to treat Parliament as a 'rubber stamp' for whatever emerges from her Brexit talks with the EC - even if that turns out to be a miserable deal or no deal at all.
With all commentators describing the vote as being on a knife-edge, Dominic Grieve, the former Conservative attorney general who leads the moves to allow MPs to have a proper say, is appealing to Tory backbenchers such as Damian Moore to stand up for parliamentary democracy. That leaves Southport's MP, who never campaigned either way on Britain's EC membership, as being vital in a decision which might go down to the last vote.
Theresa May has dug her heels in, saying her government “cannot accept” the proposal. but Tory MP Anna Soubry, one of the leading 'rebels' on this issue, says that the increasing bullying on Twitter “death threats [are] becoming routine” is making MPs like her “more resolute”.
If you want to help persuade Damien Moore to vote to prevent a miserable Brexit deal where Britain crashes out of the EU in a disastrous no-deal Brexit, you can email him before 3.00 pm this afternoon, at damien.moore.mp@parliament.uk
Meanwhile, the European Council, disappointed by Theresa May's failure to determine what she wants to negotiate about, let alone negotiate it, has called on European businesses to “step up their work” on preparing for a 'no-deal' Brexit. They say the UK has made “no substantial progress” on solving the Northern Ireland border issue or agreeing to a “backstop” solution if no long-term fix is found. If an agreement isn’t reached, the UK’s withdrawal agreement is likely to fall apart - meaning there iwll likely be no 'transition deal' either which spoksemen for British industry are declaring to be a disastrous possibility.
Can we know whether this article was submitted by local councillors/political parties to give context/motive/political transparency to this story? Seems identical to one on the other site so is unlikely to be written by in house authors.

There has been far too great a delay as it is. Businesses do not respond to uncertainty. An immediate and definite break is absolutely necessary. Our fishing industry needs to take back our fishing waters now - anyone wishing to fish in our waters must pay dearly to do so. Our own farmers need to regain an efficient market with decent tasty products and little waste, instead of overseas investor farmers churning out expensive tasteless, fast food products with tons of waste that keep the prices high. Industry must be encouraged by output and variety by the Universities and by apprenticeships, while we still have highly experienced people. To be able to do this we must break away completely from EU legislation and be allowed free access to global markets. The EU does not want to give up the UK - it fears the UK will progress while the EU stagnates. In particular, Germany - who relies heavily on Chinese manufacturing, will lose out the most, as British manufacturing will provide the higher standards of goods that people demand.
