That's what Letwin's Amendment was about but what's the plan if we get an extension? (xp)


a proper economic impact statement would be nice, for one

what is it about social media that compels ghouls like nelson to tell on themselves so relentlessly and so thoroughly

he's replying to Jess Phillips who dragged her brats to Downing Street for a publicity stunt once - there is no end to the diabolical cycle of bad parents begetting more wretched damaged adults upon the world!

Has anyone on Twitter ever asked Fraser Nelson why he talks like that?

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Sunday, 20 October 2019 12:25 (six years ago)

the simple answer is because he's a cunt

There’s more on Fraser Nelson lol

Fraser went to the same school as me. No idea where his mum worked. But our school was never on strike and never had a picket line. He was, at best , skiving from the finest school in Scotland.

nothing speaks more to your character than making up some shit about your mom being a scab

Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 20 October 2019 13:33 (six years ago)

I've previously heard Fraser talking about how he is quite an authoritative voice on the Scottish working class experience because his military dad grew up in some tenement block shithole somewhere

calzino, Sunday, 20 October 2019 13:35 (six years ago)

generational osmosed memory?
Long history of psychic activity in the family that allows him to have first hand experience?

Stevolende, Sunday, 20 October 2019 13:58 (six years ago)

The point of the extension is to allow time for proper Parliamentary scrutiny of the deal and for amendments to be tabled. 'LOL Boris' is merely a bonus.

Matt DC, Sunday, 20 October 2019 14:06 (six years ago)

KEITH who designed ILX knew Nelson at university.

Perhaps this has often been mentioned before.

the pinefox, Sunday, 20 October 2019 14:07 (six years ago)

Also that Starmer statement would only be a plot twist if there was a chance in hell of the government agreeing to a referendum of the deal when in reality everyone involved - including Starmer himself - knows there isn't.

Matt DC, Sunday, 20 October 2019 14:08 (six years ago)

lock the extension down and it's election time

Alisa? Ailsa?

the pinefox, Sunday, 20 October 2019 17:43 (six years ago)

let's do this lads

There will be lots of attention paid to the sexiest amendment: a second referendum. But that (prob) still doesn't have enough support. The explosive one is a customs union which probably does and crucially has support from Lab MPs who might back deal but would prefer a CU.

— Lewis Goodall (@lewis_goodall) October 20, 2019

If that happens (and it passes) I don't see any way out for Johnson, other than accepting the reality of the extension and using it to insist on an election where he campaigns for his deal. Tory Party as the Brexit (with a deal) Party.

All this and they haven’t even finished the queen’s speech yet.

gyac, Sunday, 20 October 2019 20:08 (six years ago)

I'm guessing that all of the expelled Tories would vote for a Customs Union and nearly every Labour MP would as well. Any idea what position the LibDems take on the idea? I'm guessing either an abstention or shooting it down for being insufficiently Remainy.

Matt DC, Monday, 21 October 2019 07:23 (six years ago)

Why would expelled Tories vote for the customs union?

xyzzzz__, Monday, 21 October 2019 09:12 (six years ago)

some of them believe in it, iirc

xp lol ok..

xyzzzz__, Monday, 21 October 2019 09:14 (six years ago)

Apart from the three Pro-Referendum ex-Tories it looks likesthey're all voting for the deal anyway, even better if it has the Customs Union attached.

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Monday, 21 October 2019 09:27 (six years ago)

which would amount to.. May's deal except the backstop is permanent?? great job Tories

Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Monday, 21 October 2019 09:30 (six years ago)

Most likely they’d pull the bill, get the extension confirmed and go for an election

comrade alphabet to thread

Twitter live 4pm and Facebook live 430 today from Westminster for any questions thoughts around the next few days of voting - or indeed last votes such as Letwin amendment - speak to you then - and best wishes from Camberwell... pic.twitter.com/SAn3RwEQtF

Jeremy Corbyn: “Our sympathies with the manhole-cover manufacturers of Neenah, WI at this difficult time.”

coup de twat (suzy), Monday, 21 October 2019 12:53 (six years ago)

james blunt has broken his silence on brexit - perhaps he can provide the clarity this fractured nation is crying out for in this difficult time

“For soldiers, the whole end game is always peace,” he says. “How can we stop people killing people so we can all go home at the end of the day alive to our families. That means understanding people’s differences. I feel the same way with politics today. There’s a left and a right and most humans are surely in the middle.”

But we were all asked to vote, I say.

“And it was pretty close. We’re chewing ourselves up on this question, because neither side is understanding why people reached these opinions. Why is it we can’t even have a dialogue about it?”

Well, what was his view?

“I think it’s pretty much bulls**t. It’s all a political thing. I’m going to carry on touring through Europe whatever happens. Rather than having a title on it, my call to arms would be ‘get the f*** on with it’, because our lives aren’t going to change. My tour manager is going to be pissed off he has to fill in a few more forms, but whatever you do, get on with it, because the limbo is killing us.”

But you don’t want to say how you voted?

“No. I don’t want to be given the label.”

... oh

(btw my wife is a touring musician and the orchestras she plays with are shitting bricks over how much more difficult european tours are gonna be after brexit but maybe we can all learn something from james 'blunt' cunt)
