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

It’s to get an extension and an election.

so Labour's goal here is to get an extension and not have an election? idg how this is a victory and not just another delay of the inevitable.

Have an election at the proper time when Bozo has become a laughing stock who's destroyed the Tory Party.

Multixp why are some of the men in the picture titled Mr and some not, is it some arcane HoC rule?

Examples?

idg how this is a victory

Corbyn is already incompetent at winning an election & Labour have collapsed in the polls, so an election doesn't need to be his main priority

also he is pro-Brexit & thinks everyone will just live off community vegetable patches, but most of his party are Remain, so remaining in stasis suits his leadership

when Bozo has become a laughing stock who's destroyed the Tory Party.

but.... isn't that what just happened

some of them are women

The point of getting an election first is so the country doesn’t crash out during/just after an election campaign, so if labour won the election they’re not taking power to food and medicine shortages and deaths while the Tories slip off into the sunset

my guess would be those ones entered their title on the conservative party intranet or w/e

no

xxps

I didn’t know Ian Dunt posted here

always up for a package from katie razzle

"so Labour's goal here is to get an extension and not have an election?"

sic are you ok hun?

Are the nontitled ones unmarried maybe?

Tonight we defeated Boris Johnson in his first Commons test and tomorrow we will legislate against his disastrous No Deal plans.

We'll support a vote to call a General Election, so the people can decide our country's future, once the Bill to stop No Deal is law.

Lol my phone but the state of this.

looking forward to lots of performative confusion about labour's stance on a GE over the coming days

... despite the fact the position can be put clearly in a tweet

Dominic Cummings just bumped into Corbyn in Portcullis House and shouted “Come on Jeremy let’s do this election, don’t be scared.” My spy says Corbyn was bundled away by horrified aides

So, strategically, the idea is to set in stone that No Deal is no-go, which means the only options are deal or remain, which means that whoever wins the election would then be forced into the same untenable position as May, in search of a fantasy deal that will satisfy no majority?

If you mean why are some MPs addressed as the Rt Hon so and so, it depends if they hold senior office and/or are on the privy council, so members of the opposition can be the Rt Hon as well

One step at a time. This is going to go on for a potentially very long time. You are looking at one election, a recession. At the least.

I'm getting real Scaramucci vibes from Cummings at this point.

At least that fat cunt Soames is retiring

yes, in the array of photos it looks like get a "mr" by their name if they're privy councillors (and male lol, justine greening is a privy councillor):

arcane HoC rules (privy councillor = has been in the cabinet at some point = what gyac just said)

*i didn't check everyone tho

whoever wins the election would then be forced into the same untenable position as May, in search of a fantasy deal that will satisfy no majority?

well, the make-up of the house changes after an election, so there may then be a majority for... something (good or bad)

or, you know, there may not - we may shake the snowglobe and end up exactly as stuck as before

rory gone

Wonder what odds I can get on Big Dom actually twatting somebody before the week's out

xpost Can a new majority simply ("simply") vote to just put No Deal back on the agenda?

several xps sorry i ended up posting that garbage uncorrected, pick the bones out of it if you need to

rory gone

What was he doing riding a bike in Edinburgh at this time of night?

Idk either so

Yes - if the Tories win a majority they can put No Deal back on the agenda. But they (quite) probably can't get a majority by campaigning for No Deal.

if labour/some unity govt win the next election there would be 1) a new deal (fewer of may's red lines, so mb customs union or the fabled 'common market 2.0', which were iirc the most popular options in the indicative voting they had in the commons a few months back) and then, if the arithmetic maintains 2) a referendum on the new deal v remain

a lot of the tories who voted with the govt tonight don't want no deal per se, they just want the threat to get a deal. no deal is unpopular

My guess is if Brexit is to go through it would be via a re-worded withdrawal agreement by a future commons with diff numbers.

But that needs an election. And fuck knows what else.

BREAKING: Rory Stewart confirms at the GQ awards (of all places) that he won’t be standing at the next election. His political career ends here... but goes out with quite a bang at the after party. https://t.co/gyVfICeMqy

The whole idea that the "threat" of No Deal gives the UK any sort of advantage is so risible but seems impossible to unpick

lol cummings getting pelters on NN

Second ref suddenly feels quite likely.
