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

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

oh stfu about Brenda from Bristol, events dickhead!

This clown thinks he's fucking Del Trotter

Gotta thank the Lib Dems for the fabulous sight of a government begging the opposition to call an election

Fucking hell Jo Swinston imagine being a worse leader than the chuckleheads that preceded you

Oh good it's Sun Tzoubz

The Art of Waaaaaah

that's weird she's against an election for some reason

lol

ok, just catching up after a day of no news or ilx.

pinefox bodied me with his marmite examination. i will not use this phrase again.

deems did not get enough love for his 'house of cummings and goings' imo.

i am here for mark s's intermittently expressed view of Johnson as someone corralled against his own miserable judgment. i don't agree. i think he's innately destined to desire increasing peaks of validation, despite an almost gnostic mental recognition that something is badly wrong with his life, but i'm enjoying mark *saying* it periodically.

WTF SKINNOCK. twats. i don't even understand what's gone on, but fucking idiot twats enabling a deceitful government.

El Tomboto always otm.

lol @ this pic, like a father-daughter day at the opticians

Hey oop, Jess is overcome with anger

Wow she's gone full "just a simple working class bumpkin"

Filling up with solidarity here

yeah Jess we get it he's a lying duplicitous fuck, catch up!

Somebody watch the mace, I think she's gonna go off

[Niche nerd update - Rebel alliance source says their legal advice is that the Kinnock amendment is legally meaningless]

boris really is shit at speaking

we haven't kicked Harriet Harman out yet? fucking sort it out Jez

Dunno why I'm still watching tbh, this is a dead rubber, there'll be no election vote tonight

hmmm (from the comments to gyac’s tweet)

Not so sure. Kinnock amdmt attaches a purpose to the extension bill, that purpose being to debate and pass the WA. Technically thfr, Govt could reintro WA, debate it, defeat it, say purpose was fulfilled, and extension Act no longer applies. Result: no deal Brexit 31 Oct.

TS Welsh tories vs Scottish tories

i'm not watching this because i'm drowning sorrows in lager in a pub. but he really is. he is not capable of uttering sentences. to be fair, it's actually quite hard - most of us don't when speaking. but he barely gets into half his sentence, before burbling into literal acoustic incoherence. a mush of phonemes.

stephen kinnock is politically inept ?

whyareyoudoingthisnow.jpg

A bit of my brain that I'm not fond of is suggesting that the gimmick with the tellers is "well how do we know this button even works if we don't press it?"

feels like an approach to the constitution generally tbh.

Deputy Speaker on the radio just: the Kinnock amendment passed, the May WA must be brought back unless the whole bill is killed

shrug emoji

Are Stephen Kinnock's parents about to vote his amendment down in the Lords

— Robin Wilde (@TheWildeRobin) September 4, 2019

Thornberry ignored the question so i'm guessing officially plan is to ignore the amendment until they can regroup and analyze/take advice

The Art of Waaaaaah

The amendment places no legal obligations on Parliament other than to hold a vote, but a series of theories about why the government acted as it did are doing the rounds. The first is that they hoped that it would cause Labour to abandon its support for the bill as a whole, as the Labour leadership also opposed the amendment. However, because Labour’s legal advice – and indeed the legal and constitutional advice of essentially every lawyer and constitutional expert on the planet as far as I can tell – is that the amendment means very little there was no real prospect of that, and indeed, even had it it been Labour would have been highly reluctant to be left holding the bag for a no-deal Brexit.

But the second and more important consequence is that because the vote passed by default, there is no division list. Even in defeat, the bill risked creating a far more dangerous blow to Boris Johnson than any effort to delay no deal – a positive majority for an alternative Brexit approach. Had 30 or so Labour MPs actually voted for the deal, the path to a plausible and negotiable deal other than that favoured by Johnson would have been clear.

Bush on Skinnocks amendment.

Ah right, I was thinking the government engineered the Skinnock amendment passing to play up the absurdity of May's WA having to go before Parliament yet again and thus link Corbyn and the opposition parties to this absurdity. This is the WA that the current PM voted for three times, of course.

thank fucking god for stephen bush tbh. he's not always right, and things have turned out differently than he predicted (how could they not) but by god it's soothing to read his words sometimes.

yep

Agreed, pouring one out for Skinnock failing at failing

Guess what? On Twitter, every middlebrow Polly Filla in the UK is performatively circle-jerking over Jess Phillips’ debate comments...
