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

I didn’t sign the petition either because the government haven’t given a shit about ignoring 16 million actual votes, but I don’t disrespect people who did. The response will have made them angry. Good.

Haven't seen a Brexiteer lose a minute of sleep over this.

I admit I don’t have your surveillance capabilities, but all the last minute panicking & deciding to vote for May’s deal after months saying it was “vassalage” and similar doesn’t exactly look like the sort of five dimensional chess we’ve come to expect from them.

A few Brexiteers were hinting they could vote for May's deal last week if the DUP came round.

That’s true but they would be saying that in the full knowledge that the DUP aren’t going to vote for this deal now or ever.

Ultimately the ERG don't have enough votes, they had to use an excuse. My point is this petition isn't driving their turn towards May's deal

Not saying it is, but i do think it means somethingthat Revoke is being discussed daily and being worked into amendments that have a chance of passing. I think it’s indicative that the political will might be shifting that way finally?

xp God yes, can’t believe I left the blueshirts thing out yesterday!

"Jo Cox False Flag"

fucking lunatics.

This thread is getting too long. Someone think of a witty new thread title.

Remainer minister: “We’re going to have a final reckoning during the leadership contest, and the losers will go because our differences are now irreconcilable. It will be a Bucks Fizz moment – who gets to still call themselves Bucks Fizz when the band breaks up?”

rowing in behind option A

I’m only sad they didn’t get some more of the alphabet in there so we could watch them debating amendments C,U,N,T,S. NOPE is a pretty lol combo though.

I am told cabinet secretary Mark Sedwill and attorney general Geoffrey Cox informed Cabinet that if at the end of the Letwin process MPs pass a motion mandating the PM to pursue a new route through the Brexit mess - perhaps a referendum, or membership...

Also this is absolutely huge if true, it completely defangs May and means she can't simply refuse to sign off on what Parliament agrees.

Click through for the thread.

They may well have done but posts on this move so fast it could be under the crease by now. Seconding suggestion we have a new thread, please leave some variant of “we’re all gonna die lol” in there so we don’t have to explain every time that Brexit is bad.

We should find technical solutions to the new thread problem.

Those options are amazing. Our best and brightest in the mother of parliaments at work

Excellent work in this thread by all, enjoyed catching up! Also holy shit at https://isbritaingreatagain.com/ <3

But what of Boris Johnson? By Sunday night, the erstwhile foreign secretary had unleashed another auto-parodic Daily Telegraph column quoting the God of Exodus, imploring: “Let my people go.” Oh dear. Even when he most needs to give the impression that he does, Boris Johnson is a man still unable to take himself seriously. That is his tragedy; unfortunately, he is ours.

Tragically I think option A's "and bans MPs from ever doing this again without a 2/3 majority" means letting the MPs pick rules for a bit rather than Brexit.

the malthouse compromise

Neil O’ Brien and the way he might look at you.

What is there in uselessness to cause you distress?

Watching May say that the petition process has been monitored in case of “fraudulent signatures”.

Shameful q & a there at pmqs about the armed services.

“My son is the 4th generation to serve, can the Prime Minister assure him that if he is on an operational tour and mistakes are made and soldiers lose control and things go horribly wrong that he will not, fifty years later, be dragged out of bed at 6am and arrested?”

Just stick to killing the lessers and you’ll probably get away with it, that’s what the government is signalling with it’s disgraceful statements about this.

‘prime minister, can you please confirm that soldiers will continue to remain free from the consequences of war crimes’

i didn't join a volunteer army to be held accountable for my actions in service ffs

Can’t believe you can’t just kill the paddies without someone getting mad about it, it’s PC gone maaaaaaad

Cultural Marxism strikes again.

well if that's what it means certainly im agin it

cultural marxism means killing paddies and the more paddies you kill the more culturally marxist it is

dominic cummings on the erg lot is pretty full-on:

Those of you in the narcissist-delusional subset of the ERG who have spent the last three years scrambling for the 810 Today slot while spouting gibberish about trade and the law across SW1 — i.e exactly the contemptible behaviour that led to your enforced marginalisation during the referendum and your attempt to destroy Vote Leave — you are also in the pirate category. You were useful idiots for Remain during the campaign and with every piece of bullshit from Bill Cash et al you have helped only Remain for three years. Remember how you WELCOMED the backstop as a ‘triumph’ in December 2017 when it was obvious to everybody who knew what was going on — NOT the Cabinet obviously — that this effectively ended the ‘negotiations’? Remember how Bernard Jenkin wrote on ConHome that he didn’t have to ‘ruin his weekend’ reading the document to know it was another success for the natural party of government — bringing to mind very clearly how during the referendum so many of you guys were too busy shooting or skiing or chasing girls to do any actual work. You should be treated like a metastasising tumour and excised from the UK body politic.

xp Do rice paddies count?

That's cultural Maoism

worth remembering in the context of "realist" assessments of what the establishment war on an anti-austerity government in the UK will look like

no, i really don't

Plax, can you excerpt some of that FT piece?

Asking the PM to give assurances on things 50 years ahead when she can't assure on things 50 minutes ahead.

Now, I was always rather scornful of Ken Clarke’s blasé admission that he never bothered to read the Maastricht Treaty before it was signed – but let’s face it, we always rather admire his chutzpah. I do not claim the same kind of mantle, but I confess I did not wreck my whole weekend trying to understand every nuance of this obscure text.
