like the queen this thread will never die: in which we ALL resign (ourselves to disgusting miseries to post-boris politics 2022)

and her deputy, in the middle of the vote

she's fracked

BBC won't confirm those resignations at the moment

LOL Tory MP was physically mandhandled by Cabinet Ministers into the voting lobby... mind you, that's accoring to Chris Bryant so take that with a handful of salt.

did the parliamentary questions get answered then

what is the secret of the grail?

Deputy Speaker Eleanor Laing has just called for order.

"Will the sergeant please investigate the disorder in the 'no' lobby," she asks.

bunch of MPs stood round in a circle clapping their hands chanting "scrap! scrap! scrap!"

take out the bauble, take out the trash

Rory Stewart announcing to nobody in particular that he's telling

i know cromwell is a bit cancelled but bauble is all-time, lock em all up

barebones hours

Jacob Rees Mogg doesn't know if the Chief Whip has resigned or not.

JRM being one of the beastly rotters who is accused by Chris Bryant of bullying an 'umble 'apless Red Wall MP to vote with the goverment.

xps Recently found out that Praise-God Barebone's son If-Jesus-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned Barebone changed his name to Nicholas Barbon and founded London's first insurance companies and mortgage lenders after the Great Fire.

typical prod

Such skill

BREAKING - I’m told Liz Truss herself FAILED to vote on the Fracking Ban that her own Government presented as a confidence motion earlier.

long-game liz

"a frank and robust conversation" is one of the absolute classic euphemisms, love it

Lots of rumours flying around tonight. This vote was never about fracking but about Labour trying to destabilise the country, and take control of Parliament. I had a frank and robust conversation outside the voting lobbies confirming my opposition to fracking,

just need tired and emotional for the full house

speaking of the house it would definitely be awful and not at all funny if all this hubbub brought the ancient disrepaired and rotting ceiling down or something

I wish someone would use the expression "blazing row."

A Tory MP says the deputy chief whip, Craig Whittaker, just exclaimed as he exited the voting lobby: “I am fucking furious and I don’t give a fuck anymore.”

— Aubrey Allegretti (@breeallegretti) October 19, 2022

all these ppl not giving a fuck and yet none of them pulling the lever that drops the whole heaving mass into hell where it belongs

Where's Waldreg with his key when you need him?

plot twist is that we are all already in hell

we’ve been in hell since 21/12/2012, this is canon

#GeneralElectionNow you twisted fucks.

lolico screaming for starmer to step up and "the king" (whoever he is) to make it so

Had to check that was real.

Carry on..

would i make stuff up at a moment like this

also: queen sighted in the woods at balmoral, sat on a treestump smoking a pipe and laughing hysterically

are you saying the Queen is in fact Tom Bombadil?

She did die but is still alive

oldest and fatherless iirc

She and the land are one

and her boots are yellow

she looks like joseph ducreux in that pic imo

it's a rough life for an MP these days. Not only do they have to employ security and wear anti-stab vests in their constituencies, but now they get "jostled" "bullied" and "manhandled" in parliament. It breaks my heart.

Manhandled by Jacob Rees-Mogg and Therese Coffey into the bargain.

one of those i can imagine manhandling people, the other no so much

My son has lived through four chancellors, three home secretaries, two prime ministers and two monarchs.

He's four months old.

Imagine being liz truss’s chief whip and trying and failing to resign. Why even go on living

"You're not going to have Wendy Morton to kick around any more!!!"

imagine being the tory mp for a marginal seat in the north-west where they are going to do fracking now hahaha oh I guess they have finance jobs lined up anyway, never mind

Prediction for today: a minor minister resigns, this is cast as a victory by Truss supporters (if any are left) as it's not as bad as yesterday.

xp

apparently lots of the 2019 intake are considered "low quality" amongst the Tory party because they don't have much more important stuff to be getting on with or very lucrative directorships, still very low sympathy rating.
