"oh you don't get me I'm the end of the union": lol brexit is how we're all gonna die

I’m absolutely not going to link but Carol fucking Cadwalldr has decided it’s a cool and normal idea to tweet David Duke to ask if he knows these MPs.

I have just been at a Josie Long / Grace Petrie show called Lefty Scum and I love you all.

The ratio on that LK tweet is... something else.

xxp any good?

Yeah - I've been a fan of Josie Long forever but haven't seen her in ages (I know she's very polarising) l, and I'd not seen or heard Grace Petrie before but she's a good protest singer - she played a song for Theresa May that she wrote 9 years ago.

My god, did Carole C decide she wasn't getting enough abuse from white supremacists as it stands? It is utterly baffling to me why anyone would do that.

<3 josie long

Voting on the Letwin amendment now.

Richard Harrington, business minister, has resigned according to govt source

— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) March 25, 2019

Ooft here we go

So it passed, guess she's going to resign immediately then.

Letwin passes 329/302

329-302! You’d expect a few government ministers with that result.

"playing roulette with the lives and livelihoods of the vast majority of people in this country" the MP for Watford says.

Maybe they'll just put May in the basement like Milton in Office Space

corbyn ‘egging’ zapruder out. looked quite forceful

Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt and the health minister Steve Brine have also resigned

surely etc

who are these principled Tories people doing the right thing on a Monday night?!

lmao at stephen bush’s (now-deleted) KKK tweet

https://commonsvotes.digiminster.com/Divisions/Details/642 Let’s see those votes!

What did Bush say?

The one thing that could still get rid of May is the threat or actuality of half her Cabinet resigning at once it would be the nuclear option but we might be at that stage soon.

Damian Green voted for it. As did Dennis Skinner.

They still won’t properly back away from No Deal ffs bit that was tight

That is a colossal Bush tweet (& I always love wariotifo), ty both!

Xpost - why are we loving Josie long at this particular moment?

More importantly, why was AF loving us?

Lol Bush seeing his mentions filling up with wonks not getting it at all

May statement:

This amendment instead upends the balance between our democratic institutions and sets a dangerous, unpredictable precedent for the future.

A dangerous precedent that the legislature might get to legislate, eh

sorry, "Government statement"

dangerous and unpredictable like the PM openly stating she’d ignore any votes she didn’t like?!

https://commonsvotes.digiminster.com/Divisions/Details/643 < votes on Beckett

this is better than breaking bad

I need to read some recaps from earlier seasons b/c I rather can't tell where exactly sovereignty is vested in this system b/c Parliament and the PM seem to disagree

guess it defaults back to the queen

Actual lols at the scenes with Bercow rn

Some Tories were very very very hurt by one of their own being trolled from the chair in the weakest possible form

ok now it's annoying

I went to see Josie Long and Grace Petrie is the answer to both questions, and it was a useful reminder that everyone on here is in fact on the same side.

Letwin:

So it passed, guess she's going to resign immediately then.

Letlose: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/oliver-letwin-caught-throwing-away-85337

The PM's blundering policy adviser was seen on five separate days throwing away sensitive correspondence on terrorism, national security and constituents' private details.

I just remembered this & im dying cos he went on tv and said the papers were weighing him down

Actual lols at the scenes with Bercow rn

How invested are the DUP really in Brexit at any price? Because it feels like it’s now or never for the deal and most other routes lead to soft/no Brexit.

I’ve always taken it as read that the backstop is beyond unpalatable for their entire project, and if that’s the case they’ll never vote for the deal but tomorrow could get interesting

i really amnt sure whether they have a strong policy position on brexit qua brexit, they are the living definition of a one-issue party and that issue dictates that they will not accept any difference between their province and the continental uk ito how the interface with the modern world is provisioned

darragh while we have u here how does one pronounce "amn't"

i think we've talked about this before but Ireland is otm that the backstop is in fact MORE required in the event of no deal than it is in the event of any actual putative deal. wasn't there some noise a few weeks ago about UK and ireland seeing if they could negotiate something along these lines bilaterally, without tying it to a perhaps nonexistent divorce agreement?
