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

No I don't think it usually matters. The question is ok all well and good you did this but what you are going to do going forward that matters more.

A passed deal may mean it's less of a Brexit election, so it becomes more about other domestic policies.

I think it does matter, but what you're saying is also true and likely to counter-balance that. Its a volatile electorate though, and a deal shakes things up again. Maybe depends on the atmosphere, Its sorta difficult to imagine a celebratory atmosphere post-deal. Can't really imagine Brexit street parties (not in November anyway, but even so)

ah the the good old traditional English community street party... erm never seen one in over forty years of living here, unless small groups of people chucking pint glasses at cars and screaming like angry confused apes when England shit out of another world cup counts.

Caroline Flint cheered to the rafters by Tory MPs, I think we know how she's voting.

she's no Flinty Badman

Gove described as a big girl's blouse in the Commons. Other than that, nothing to report.

I'd like to apologise for my lack of faith y/day

Breaking: I have just walked past the honourable member for Sheffield Hallam. He is on the estate.

(xxp) Of course they've already driven back to Sheffield and left him to make his own way back.

A smashing time.

fuck you ken clarke

Ken Clarke, former Tory chancellor, home secretary and more, says what we have before us is “undoubtedly a bad deal” and worse than that proposed by Theresa May.

But now the choice is very real.

He says he’s worried that the purpose of the convoluted agreement over Ireland was so the rest of the UK could be taken out of the customs union straight away.

The Canada deal took nine years to put in place, says Clarke. But he says all along he has been determined to avoid a no-deal Brexit.

We should support this deal.

‘this deal fucking blows! let’s do it!’

oh noes, my charcuterie!

"It's going to wreck my charcuterie company, my community and everything I've ever stood for," says Rachel Hammond from Northumberland, whose brother Daniel plays the trumpet.

xps furries against brexit

a welcome distraction from Sammy on Parlt live

Mad Sammy says the DUP will vote for the Letwin Amendment - hell hath no fury like a disgruntled Ulsterman,

... hints, rather than says.

seems bad lads

dawn foster things it may lose........ am not so sure myself now

Just sit back, crack open a cold one with the boys, and wait for all this to blow over.

yeah, been feeling sick about this all morning - i think it’s gonna pass

Getting a cup of tea and looking at this shit:

During the coalition we put out statements like this sometimes to try and kid ourselves that we’d got some kind of meaningful concession before voting in a way we felt wasn’t right. We weren’t fooling anyone, and neither are you...

imagine just... writing that

he was kneeling in the confession booth at the time.

‘we knew we were gonna be condemning tens of thousand of people to death and countless others to lives of even deeper misery but 🤷‍♂️’

... that's politics *jazz hands*

In the last 8 years don't think I have ever had as many messages from people in the govt in a single day that included the word "c***"

I am not sure, btw, that this vote going through is the be all and end all, just means deal can be voted on and debated. Or so I tell myself after finally switching this shit on.

DUP will vote for Letwin amendment.

— Ken Reid (@KenReid_utv) October 19, 2019

fingers crossed, about to hear the counts, feeling vaguely like I'm waiting for an exam

Deal going through (which I don’t think will happen) could mean a Tory vs brexit party election with the hard right breaking away from the tories.

The hard right are in the Tory Party and voting for the deal.

good luck uk

Surely the opposite? (i.e. if the deal doesn't go through?)

It could go that way, if the BXP think this hard deal is still too soft. But I think the “just make it stop” leave vote will be sated.

The hard right will not be happy if this bill passes, they could take it as a capitulation.

Think we’ve won Letwin amendment...

How can it take 15 minutes to count a couple of hundred votes?

the inefficiency of our shamefully bloated public sector iirc

Serco or Capita could do it in half the time.

badly

Phew

Letwin amendment made it through. 322 to 306.

great, let’s shut it down and go home

YES

I'm relieved even though I don't understand what I'm relieved about.

Keep racking up those losses, BJ.

16 votes is way bigger than I’d thought. Will post the list when it’s up.

Fairly sure that I heard John McDonnell heckling.

Just want to point out Oliver Letwin had Times and Telegraph journalists in his mentions telling him to pull his amendment yesterday. Love too live in a country with a free press.
