PMs change and lol we're all gonna die (but brexit will never end)

Skinnock amendment may have passed on a technicality - no tellers

I've been listening but am in a state of complete disbelief!

chess is now 6D apparently

6d shenanigans

love the Lords/Commons duo vision screens. I don't have fucking clue what's going on like!

fs

bill torpedoed?

Nobody is certain. I think the amendment that may have passed means MPs have to another vote May's WA before Johnson has to request an extension

do we think that one ramification of all this may be to make the reheated may deal palatable enough to pass post-EU conference ?

seems pertinent now

It's certainly Skinnock's plan but it looked to me like the amendment would have been voted down, God knows if this is deliberate or incompetent and who's behind it

What the fuck

If it’s a lack of tellers for the noes then it’s the fucking government’s move.

Certainly feels like a possibility suzy

a cunning parliamentary heist no doubt, but the WA is still going to get voted down so ultimately futile.

No tellers came down with a bad case of fractured hyoid

There was some weirdness in the division prior which took forever despite being a 400-majority "nay", something seemed afoot

is running down the clock the game then?

no No tellers, we’ll reach for the sky
No gesture too cheap, no manoeuvre too sly

OK the amendment has passed, my guess is government fuckery

It means that when/if the government has to ask for an extension, it has to say that the purpose of the extension is to pass May's bill.

lol

Big big win, my amendment to publish the withdrawal bill passed. We can now have an informed debate and hopefully secure a deal the House can accept. I both astounded and delighted!!

Cramborne not in his seat, maybe trying to work out what the fuck happens next

Commons clerk:

I’m not sure what this amendment actually does. It attaches a purpose for the desired extension, but it doesn’t actually compel the Government (or anyone else for that matter) to actually introduce a Bill.

Am I missing something? https://t.co/5ROz1patdx

Hate the word frit, always sounds like the past tense of frot

Careful, you’ll have LBI in here with some
more Mr Blobby chat

pm frits

just had massive row with my French gilet-jaune father-in-law who literally was like 'a deal? why do you need a deal? what deal are you talking about? that's all bullshit, the PEOPLE have decided' - he's very anti-EU and his lip was quivering and he was being a complete asshole to me about it and what could i say, my wife is sitting there horrified, and I'm like, i live here, this is important to me, if we don't have a deal there will be real economic problems and he's like "stop, stop, no, that's all lies". he says Europe is trying to "humiliate" the UK by making it beg. for a deal. which he has just said is unnecessary. i mentioned that the EU actually did offer a deal, which they negotiated with theresa may's government and he just said "that's not true." it's just impossible to speak to him because there is no shared set of facts.

For a bloke who doesn't want an election he keeps saying election

COME ON GERMAN GOBLIN CALL HIS BLUFF

Watching this again now, this is sooooo like watching a fancy WWF beef play out.

Love watching Johnson pretend to not be radge while Clarke's telling him what he is

Quick digest for the slower amongst us: has skinnock's attempted wrecking succeeded? If so, how? Something to do with tellers?

fuck me I'm confused as fuck

Skinnock amendment passed because there no "nay" tellers. Nobody seems to care, for reasons quoted upthread - it mayn't make much difference, Johnson still has to apply for extension if it passes the Lords.

can someone please prevent the poor from thickening any further

errr, the plot not the poor

just ousted myself as a tory there, fuck

Corbyn: we won't vote for an election until this bill has royal assent

does may get to come back as prime minister if her deal ends up getting passed lol

How dare he involve the Queen.

thickening up the poor readying for eating. classic BG

the one thing that seems certain now is that stephen kinnock is a fucking cunt

Never in doubt, never in doubt.

I always chuckle when I think of Blackford referring to himself as "a humble crofter" even though I never heard him say it, think I read it on here tbh.

why is this s kinnock thing bad/what is it exactly?

may's deal being back on the table, why is this? is this because of the kinnock thing? why?

why would the government want this s kinnock thing but not want to be seen to be wanting it? what?

So did Labour just get played? I'm so confused

A humble crofter with much to croft about.

I think they've just let Skinnock have it because nobody cares altho the possibility that the government allowed the amendment to pass so they can dick around with WA votes at a later date is possible. Blackford I think is saying the SNP won't vote for an election yet either
