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

Obsessed with this clip. Just steams in there with “the Dáil Iran” and then goes for the full thing.

yeah, didn't know the big man was active that far afield

what... what is happening

Leo Varadkar wants a Brexit breakthrough so he can go to see Cher in concert.

The Irish Mirror has learned the Taoiseach told colleagues he “wants it done” by October 31 like Boris Johnson, but for a very different reason.

He has tickets for the pop legend in Dublin’s 3Arena on November 1 and wants to enjoy it properly.

Mr Varadkar is a self-confessed Kylie Minogue fan who sent her a personal letter and got a selfie with the Aussie when she performed here last December.

But he is also believed to love Cher and has been looking forward to the concert for months.

To the country or the thread? xp

some of the most bad faith arguments I've ever seen done with a straight face

The Varadkar Cher thing made me triple check if I was on the right website and hadn't been sent off to some parody thing.

Here we go

Stoked for the madness.

While they're voting I might as well say how much I hate UK media treating Brexit as entertainment. Treating life-altering politics as entertainment. LK's tweets are dripping with "ohhh it's so nice to be on the inside!", even the Graun (well, might scratch 'even') blog frequently starts with "welcome politics fans!" as if it were a derby footy match.

Just linking that letter to Kylie

yeah this is bang on.

calling saturday "super saturday" was literally cribbed from football coverage.

pal of mine got a selfie with Leo front row at Spice Girls too...

Oh god, 'Super Saturday' was another eye roller, aye. I wondering that when Brexit is fully realized, and we're ten years on from that point, how much of the "politics=circus! it's sports!" will have stuck with media who are supposed to be critical and scrutinize government, instead of turning it into a block party.

Ayes 329
Noes 299

RIP

First reading passed by 30 fucking votes

RIP

Jesus, just expel the cunts ffs

so what does this mean exactly?

So, uh, what next?

Vote on the timetable, should be a lot closer

30 is a huge diff, fuck.

MP's now voting for timepath, which is expected to be closer, but then again... Fuck.

This is what happens when you vote for a deal because you don't want it.

can't believe Boris is gonna pull this off, after all these other shenanigans

Third reading could be very different

Johnson has said if they vote down the programme motion he'll throw a strop and pursue a general election, we'll see. That majority makes him getting his way look a lot more possible

This is just inexplicable bullshit from cowards and hypocrites

Jesus, just expel the cunts ffs

'inexplicable' is remarkably optimistic tbh.

Nah pom was right, it's horribly explicable

COME ON PROGRAMME MOTION U CUNT

Didn't even register "inexplicable", the "cowards and hypocrites" red flag was waving right in front of me.

“no one expected the PM to get a deal - look what he has achieved !”

ITS A FUCKING WORSE DEAL U CRETIN

Is there any way that the 3 day programme could backfire on Johnson if amendments get voted thru that counter his plans?

I thought you all thought Brexit was inevitable?

Yeah that's so fucked. It's not about the deal itself, it's about the fact that he got it. Guess what, anyone can GET a deal, but it's a TERRIBLE deal. argh.

this will look less awful once we americans re-elect trump in 2020

YES

Ayes 308
No's 322

Hahahahahahaha

Lol

308 yes
322 no

YA DANCER

Lol.!

LET'S GET READY TO RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEE

GIRUY Boris

GE?

Missing the fire in Corbyn's speech tbh, he sounds like he's reading the train schedule out loud.

Surely Johnson can leave with a few days extension?

"no one thought we would re-open the WA"
"no one thought we would get a new deal"

fucking easy mode politics
