Ya, 4 instance I can't recommend 'Animals Farm' and '1987' by George Orwell highly enough

Do they release the names of those who vote against? Imagine it’d be quite awkward staying in the cabinet under the circumstances?

Saw a bit of pmqs earlier and the chief whip was visibly and frantically texting on the front bench.

This will all look very silly when she bosses a 200+ margin but as people have said above, the local associations will lose it big time.

Humpencrantz and Dinklestein are dead

Secret ballot.

one other = cronus, her moment to shine

Good call on Cronus.

As per the comments on CH are illuminating:

Same old Tory party. Naval gazing and don’t give a damn about the country they were elected to run. More caring about their own hatred of Europe. This is now a cursed and doomed party. Thank you Tories for making this country a laughing stock of the world.

The time has come to knock the tortoise off the fencepost, but to ensure that there is a comfortable net in place so as to avoid the ignominy of a hard landing. The comfortable net might sensibly take the form of polite but firm words in similar fashion to those expressed to Margaret Thatcher 28 years ago, whoever may best express them here and now.

If the Tory party can remove the greatest PM of all time from office, surely they can remove the worse PM from office?

Tory MPs now need to focus on the matter at hand for tonights vote

If they support May then the likelyhood is
(1) A general election will be triggered via parliament as she has lost the trust and support of the DUP
(2) There will be more entrenchment on her intolerable, undeliverable deal
(3) The only way to remove her before the resulting election will be if she opts to resign. Unlikely IMO.
(4) May has already proven to be a very poor election campaigner and voters will rightly know that she does not have the support of her MPs or the constituency party.
(5) MPs in marginals almost certainly lose their seats and Corbyn will be in Downing Street within weeks.

If they oust May then the likelyhood is
(1) A general election might be averted as DUP support may be regained by greater trust the new leader
(2) A more charismatic leader with a greater degree of trust and less baggage should be able to better unite the party
(3) A new leader can credibly announce a completely new direction and approach to delivering on Brexit as Mrs May's policy lacks the support of the house.
(4) If an election is forced then Parliamentary candidates who do not support the new leaders approach should be asked to step down if they do not have the support of their constituency associations. With a more united position behind a new leader there is every chance of winning the resulting election if called.

Can’t wait for the comments after the vote!

I didn’t know Cronus was female, game changer

Yeah a lot of the result hinges on whether they can stomach fighting another election with her

Not a fan of HP either, but think it's been established that May is an incompetent Dolores Umbridge

Same old Tory party. Naval gazing and don’t give a damn about the country they were elected to run.

All the nice Tories love a sailor.

cronus will grow fat on tory brainworms

The head girl has been more Albertine than Odette. And now we await to see whether a Charlus will replace her.

The time has come to knock the tortoise off the fencepost

I've not heard of this, is this a thing? How did it get up there? Did someone put it up there just so that someone else can knock it off? Is the same person who put it up there simply waiting for the right moment to knock it off? Are they hiding in the bushes, waiting to see if someone else knocks it off? That's fucked up.

mark s with a late entrant for 'most powerfully cursed image of 2018' there

just genuinely upsetting material from the lad there, brian

Misread Cronus as Cronut and figured, eh, might as well.

I had not heard of it either, Josh, but Urban Dictionary gave me some insight to this fascinating analogy.

Yeah a lot of the result hinges on whether they can stomach fighting another election with her

There are rumours that she'll pledge to stand down ahead of the next election if she wins, which is tricky seeing as no one knows when that election might take place.

the eu tries one more time, speaking slowly and clearly

The European parliament has issued a statement today saying that the backstop cannot be renegotiated and that the parliament will not approve any withdrawal agreement that does not include one. Here’s an extract from the statement, which has come from the parliaments’s “conference of presidents”, its governing committee.

The conference ... stressed that renegotiating the backstop was not possible since it is the guarantee that in whatever circumstances there could be no hardening of the border on the island of Ireland. The conference reiterated that without a backstop parliament would not give its consent to the withdrawal agreement.

Theresa May has been toast since the last election. Don't think she was ever going to fight another and she would've been put out of her misery if it wasn't for Brexit.

Plus she does actually want to see it through.

that's fine then

i mean as long as she wants to

god forbid we rob her of the chance to finish nosediving this plane into the channel

Nobody is saying that's fine. Was just speculating why she wants to keep going w/out actually saying so because I don't want to start on that one.

kind of amazing that it's europe who's more committed to the GFA than the UK

hang on, no it's not

Than a Tory government propped up Unionist headbangers from Ulster tbf.

ITEM

May has told the 22 she won’t fight the next election. Ministers crying in the room

Obviously this is totally predictable, but maybe worth taking a step back from that to think about quite how evil and cynical this is- he was suspended over bullying and sexual assault allegations as well as the text messages. https://t.co/fmUZ5m92Ul

yes, but let’s not lose sight of the real problem here - labour’s antisemitism

I mean there can be two problems

Lets be bold - there can be more than two problems!

as an American Jew I am not remotely convinced of Corbyn's supposed anti-semitism (seems the result of the old bugbear of conflating Israeli govt policies with Judaism)

crying for mummy

Nanny, surely?

yeah uh i was not seriously suggesting corbyn’s labour is antisemitic

Aw.

Jacob Rees-Mogg says that the PM’s claim that it is her intention to stand down before 2022 is not definite as “intention” is “such a politician’s word”.

... talking of crying for your nanny.

There's no pleasing some people..
