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.

Simon H., Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:16 (four years ago) link

So, uh, what next?

pomenitul, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:16 (four years ago) link

Vote on the timetable, should be a lot closer

Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:17 (four years ago) link

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

gyac, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:18 (four years ago) link

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

Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:19 (four years ago) link

This is just inexplicable bullshit from cowards and hypocrites

Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:19 (four years ago) link

Jesus, just expel the cunts ffs

They should do this after 3rd reading

gyac, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:20 (four years ago) link

'inexplicable' is remarkably optimistic tbh.

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?

Xia Nu del Vague (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:27 (four years ago) link

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.

pomenitul, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:33 (four years ago) link

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

Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:33 (four years ago) link

Surely Johnson can leave with a few days extension?

xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:34 (four years ago) link

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

Don’t joke about this, he loves trains and would genuinely be excited about that

Johnson 'pauses' Brexit legislation

Boris 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.

xp to shakey

Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 18:39 (four years ago) link
