Mhairi Black has called yesterday's Brexit vote an absolute embarrassment for the Prime Minister saying that the defeat was "an absolute riddy"
She tweeted: "It’s an absolute riddy that the Prime Minister tabled tonight’s motion and ended up voting against it. The entire thing was just another ploy to try and scare the ERG into voting for her deal yesterday. An absolute embarrassment"

And Ian Blackford also blasted Theresa May following the shambolic evening in the Commons which saw 321 to 278 vote against the prospect of a no-deal Brexit.
He said that "this was a prime minister with her head in the sand" and that the PM simply "didn't get it"
In January MPs voted against her deal by a whopping 230 votes, the biggest defeat ever for a Prime Minister.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
