In egypt. Theresa may has lost a major brexit vote in westminster. The issue at stake was whether mps will have a vote on the final brexit deal. The government opposed this but this is what happened. The ayes to the right, 309. The noes to the left, 305. This particular rebellion was led from within the Prime Ministers conservative party. The tory mp, dominic grieve, proposed the amendment. And he invoked winston churchill. Apart from a chest too, i dont think i ever rebelled against the government in all the years in this house. I find it entertaining that some who criticise me for speaking my mind on this matter are individuals who have exercised the luxury of rebellion are many, many occasions. That having been said, there is a time for everybody to stand up and be counted. As churchill said, he is a good party man come he puts the party before himself and the country before the party. And this was the Prime Minister making the counter argument. Lam happy i am happy to confirm to my

One of our producer bought sun glances at 20 off with a 20 cash back because he used his amazon credit card. Another bought a coffee maker, didnt need it, but couldnt resist half price.

There is widespread speculation among norad as well as the faa that the people onboard are unresponsive. That they may have succumb to hypoxia or there may be a medical emergency on board. If it is hypoxia, it is extremely difficult to concentrate, assuming yo
