Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

xp. i think you/re misreading what andrew is saying

For a while i felt like "Common Market 2.0" was a savvy marketing notion because a lot of Brexiters used to claim that the EU as Common Market was fine and their objections were based on a mission now crept out of control but we're at least months past that kind of disingenuousness

jim i'm sure you're right, i'm halfway pissed

so we're expecting common market 2.0 and confirmatory vote to pass, right?

and then there's a 3 hour cabinet meeting tomorrow sans civil servants so they can discuss a general election.

doesn't feel banter enough.

There is a naked protest in the public gallery

Anything 2.0 should be rejected on the principle that a 3.0 or even a 4.0 would be better.

Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Point Oh

lol if that's the reference i think

“2.0” is perfectly late 1900s Cool Britannia language for the finale imo.

*writes 10000 words on why a proper multithreaded democracy would be able to at least make it to 2.1 before moving to 3.0, deletes them*

nom de power station brexiter Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax is back in the limelight. By the time this is over I'll be familiar with allsorts of obscure tory non-entities that I otherwise would never have heard of.

Breaking: David Lidington, de facto deputy PM, says if Returning Officers start spending money to prepare for European Parliament elections on May 23 they will be reimbursed, shd those elections not take place

more importantly Drax is a Bond villain name

UK like the guy loudly announcing he is leaving the party, then you find him two hours later still hugging and saying his goodbyes.

NSFW, which won't matter as all work will cease on April 12th:

They aren’t even naked

That lecturer who wrote “brexShit sucks” on herself like 50 months ago was at least naked

No wonder we’re where we are as a nation

Bet stet is glad he didn’t go today

He’s bottom right fyi

Clearly quite proud of himself, hon the stet

So much for the tolerant cleft

lots of cowards flinching & traitors sneering at that red flag

Police have confiscated a bottle of superglue from the naked Commons protestors. Appear to have stuck themselves to the glass screen of the public gallery...

Who let those hippies in the House?

Today 11 activists from Extinction Rebellion stripped off in the House of Commons public gallery in an attempt to draw politicians' attention to the climate and ecological crisis.

Two of the group wore full grey body paint and elephant masks to bring the message that politicians neglect of the climate crisis has become an 'elephant in the room'. Inspired by the suffragettes' protest in the same building over 100 years ago, activists glued their hands to surfaces in the public gallery.

Mark Øvland, 35, said: "We are impelled to act in this way because the most important and pressing issue of our time is being flagrantly and recklessly ignored by our government and media. By undressing in parliament, we are putting ourselves in an incredibly vulnerable position, highlighting the vulnerability that all of us share in the face of environmental and societal breakdown. There is an elephant in the room and it is demanding attention."

I want to know how they took those photos. The staff acted like they’d cut you for even trying to take a pic of anything

xxp no way to speak about Change UK!

nobody is going to do jack shit about the climate until the first 10^8-death famine

surely 10⁶ ought to do it

Thousands of FBPE deadbeats to lecture you on how staying in the EU is the only way to tackle climate change.

multiple xps they are realllllly strict about this but it can be done

surely 10⁶ ought to do it

a mere flesh wound - rotten luck but nothing that a little extra investment couldn't have seen right!

Back in the debate, John Bercow, the Speaker, says 40 backbenchers want to speak in the debate. They will not all get called, he says.

The debate will run until 8pm.

I was in the commons to view the piss poor climate change debate a few weeks ago when no MPs turned up, so am a bit miffed that this mob didn't turn up then.

because you fancied a butcher's?

Would have been more entertaining ;-)

yes i know he's evil now but "WHAT ABOUT THE ELEPHANTS!? HAVE WE GOT THEIR TUSKS?!

Can't believe i missed the moment to post "Put 'em on the Glass"

I asked Jacob Rees-Mogg if he would apologise for quoting approvingly the far-right AfD Party in Germany. He refused. https://t.co/yYYULp5eRn

Magnificent head of hair on Ed these days too.

I asked Wes Streeting if he would apologise for every political belief he's ever had but

I mean he’s not wrong here

Fascists are worse than fascist enablers sure

This MP who’s talking now just mentioned the PM’s hubris in calling a snap election - and then said “although I don’t hold that against her since it’s how I got back in”. Quality dropped-a-glass cheer from the labour backbenches.

still chuckle at Streeting getting General Strike/Winter of discontent mixed up. Never mind that most of that particular discontent was experienced under the Tory government of that year. No point explaining that a thick, slimy Blairite tho!

Stephen Barclay, the Brexit secretary, is speaking in the debate now.

The Conservative Ed Vaizey asks if it is true that a letter signed by 170 Tory MPs has gone to Theresa May urging her to opt for a no-deal Brexit. Has Barclay signed it?

Barclay says he has not signed the letter. He says he sees the PM most days, and tells her what he thinks when they meet.

I mean obviously fuck Stephen Barclay but on the other hand fair play.
