Blimey.

Sturridge has gone to Chelsea by the way.

'hey guys what if we made our logo a swastika formed out of multicoloured sperm'

Pro EU, Pan Spermia

Good day to bury bad news

Just nice to see they're still managing non-Brexit biz

The old farts will still turn out in their droves to vote Tory at the next election.

The Murrison amendment, to specify the sunset clause for the backstop:

Amendments NEW

Very significant names behind the Murrison amendment with expiry date on backstop

Graham Brady, Damian Green, Simon Hart, Rob Halfon amongst most eyecatching

Looks very like whips operation... you wouldn’t get such names without official sanction pic.twitter.com/bFrjHpjR1Z

The thinking here is presumably that if the deal passes with the amendment attached:

* The government returns to the EU and says "this is what you can have, it's this or No Deal"
* Craven Continentals wilt before British Resolve
* ?????
* War with Spain!

oooh id have a bit if war woth spain if it comes to it...will the eu enforce the whip dyou think

those names are eyecatching?

They’re not the only whips on it today.

Worth keeping an eye on these guys today! Ofc, true end of season cunts geeks like myself have the Commons Vote app downloaded to keep up with this nonsense.

xp

You could replace half them with the Japanese baseball game names and nobody would notice.

bobson dugnutt for environment secretary imo

lol xp Bobson Dugnut, Junior Minister for the Minor Dominions, has resigned the Tory whip in protest at something or other

xxp ah sure you know there's still some of the Armada in us.

I've been told my swarthy complexion arrived on a shipwrecked armada.

Usually we'd know by now which amdts had been selected. I hear he intends to make announcement from the Chair. Just another moment in the spotlight, or far easier to make a controversial decision? The argument then has to happen on the floor of the House.

I am starting to suspect that John Bercow may be a messy bitch who loves drama.

(Oh Jesus, thus is going to turn into that chapter in Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail that I always had to skim, isn't it?)

Will she accept vote of Parliament tonight? Her official spokesman says: “Yes”. But then adds PM is determined to deliver on result of referendum. She’s unlikely to be able to do both.

Also the DUP don't like the Murrison amendment, or any of them, as none of them are legally binding guarantees.

I thought I was excited then I started reading the amendments and thought bollocks to this

A modest projection, maybe, but it's based on MPs who have so far said - on the record - they intend to vote against the deal. pic.twitter.com/TBLAxy34rb

Graun predicts 213-426
Sky predicts 185-423
(w/ both still missing some mp's)

Can't they delay the vote again?

With Bercow in his current mode? He'd text the Queen or break up the band and get it back together again without May in it.

Bercow choice of amendments (when he could have let them all carry) scuppers not only any outside chance May had of winning the day but also severely damages chances of any credible solution for next Monday having been tested for ability to pass.

remember the mace is ceremonial right up until someone plants it in someone else's skull WHICH IS WHAT IT'S THERE FOR

This is the worst game of Cluedo ever.

He'd text the Queen or break up the band and get it back together again without May in it.

For a minute there I thought you were saying he'd reform Queen without Brian May.

HOT SPACE 2: you know it's time

You can currently get 10/3 on the UK leaving the EU in March fwiw.

fuck all better places for the savings at this stage tbf

Bearish pound say hi to me

The backstop preserves the single greatest British policy success of the last half century (which had been stated aim of both parties since 1985), and does so in a way that EU26 dislikes enough that it doesn’t stymie trade talks. In a sane world, it’s a diplomatic triumph.

Can't even remember which Labour webel is for May's negging now.

Always bet on Hoey

For a minute there I thought you were saying he'd reform Queen without Brian May.

SCREAMING!

Is there a more pointless gesture than Tulip Siddiq delaying the birth of her baby so she can vote against the government. It's not like losing by 199 votes compared to 200 would represent a get-out-of-jail card for May.

She represents one of the most Remain constituencies in the country and is making a point about the government’s inability to be trusted re:pairing, and it’s something that has affected female MPs more this parliament. Given that every tweet on @labourwhips has cunts complaining about any MPs who are missing, I can’t say I blame her.

it's an irrelevance in respect of this vote yes but yes, it highlights the issue of the collapse of trust in the pairing system at a point when a degree of squirmy awkwardness can maybe be wrung out of those responsible, to resonate beyond the usual wonk bubble. better to have the discussion when you can handwave that it matters (even tho it actually doesn't) than when it really DOES matter and yr scrabbling around for every vote? obviously it's just throwing the soft bookmark at them after you threw the book…

It's only really people within the usual wonk bubble who know or care what the pairing system is though, it's a valid point to make but I can't see it resonating particularly widely.

See there are quite a few calls to deselect Tory Remainer MPs - don't know whether anything will come of it but its funny how 'deselection train' banter on left Twitter is taking on a life of its own now.

Kinda underwhelmed by the whole thing so far today, tbh. Been reading a lot more about the murder of Rosa Luxemburg and staring at Trump's burger picture.

xxp are you sure? It got a lot of coverage on the news last summer, the pictures of the MPs being wheeled in definitely cut through with people who aren’t weird obsessives.

Tulip also suffers from gestational diabetes, so this is going some way to prove a point.

"they'll whip for a referendum" - but what are the options on this putative ref2? where i get stuck is, how could a referendum both prevent May's deal AND no deal AND also not have revoke/remain as an option? barry gardiner has said only today that labour would not back a referendum that offered a choice between may's deal and remain. because that would imply that "we would allow a bad deal as long as the public had the opportunity to reject Brexit altogether. ... The Labour party is not a remain party"

New thread please?
