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.

yeah this is bang on.
calling saturday "super saturday" was literally cribbed from football coverage.

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.

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.

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

'inexplicable' is remarkably optimistic tbh.

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?
― Mazzy Tsar (PBKR), Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:27 (four years ago) link
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.

Johnson 'pauses' Brexit legislationBoris Johnson has confirmed he will set aside the bill that would implement his deal, despite the fact the Commons has just backed it, after his proposal to fast-track it through parliament was rejected by MPs.He says he does not want a delay and will continue to discuss with EU27 leaders until they decide whether or not to grant one.
