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

tweet of the minute

Dominic Grieve tells Parliament he has received information from inside Government, the implication of which, is that Boris Johnson misled the Queen about his reasons for requesting the prorogation of Parliament 🔥🔥🔥

There is something that really bothers me about Hoyle it might be that horrid accent. Probably better him than Harman I suppose, but when you look at the bookies shortlist for next speaker of the house a pattern emerges; they are all fucking different shades of horrible!

LOCK HIM UP xp

Grieve putting the boot in here, u luv 2 c it

Like is the queen going to rip her mask off and go V on Boris? Cos otherwise who gives a fuck

ETA: extremely angry as I have just lost signal as I hit post and I’ve probably missed it actually happening 🦎

xxp Bercow was in the Monday Club and there’s nothing wrong with Hoyle’s (Lancs?) accent, although that may be my bias towards northern accents speaking

In the Commons Chris Leslie, the Independent Group for Change MP, intervenes on Dominic Grieve to quote from a Mail Online story quoting a No 10 source saying that even if the motion is passed Downing Street will not comply.

He says that is the problem. NNo 10 is quoted saying things like this that ignore all conventional rules. He says it is impossible to know where these comments come from.

Rees-Mogg in trouble if Grieve's motion mean he has to hand over all his received telegrams as yet uneaten.

Fabricant a 100\1 shot for next speaker! Yep Bercow the saviour of parliamentary democracy was a total pro apartheid right wing arsehole as well.

He’s at his HoC window now solemnly flinging his pigeons into the air

Being told Fabricant's wig has announced it will not be standing at the next GE.

Old people who venerate the queen, who will be deeply troubled at the thought that Boris would lie to Her Majesty.

I thought they generally rotated speakers - if you excuse the phrase - the Speaker before Bercow, Michael 'Ordeur Ordeur' Martin was Labour, Bercow was a Tory (lol), next one should not be another Tory (lolx2).

(xp) No-one really cares about the Queen tbh.

i think the alternation is a recent practice rather than a rule or even a convention

but doesn't the queen care if the pm lies to her or not?

xp otm, but there’s probably the numbers for a moderate Lab speaker

(xp) She does what she's told.

just looking at next speaker betting, Hoyle 4/6 fav but there has been some money on tory Eleanor Laing 12/1 to 5/1 .

My God, another Tory from Paisley!

Laing is a fan of Rangers F.C., and the vice-chairman of the Westminster Parliamentary Rangers Supporters' Club.[10]

Are we really supposed to believe that the Queen didn't know why Johnson wanted to suspend Parliament?

Don't think so, especially after she was put in the picture by Swinson and Soubry at Nando's

I think you're holding the wrong end of the stick. Politically, it's more about Boris lying than the queen believing.

Have had this on in background but darkly amused at Gove invoking article 8 of the ECHR to defend civil servants and spads. Was he so concerned about the chilling effects of surveillance before? Don’t seem to recall that.

Since we’re speaking of the queen, this motion is “an humble address” which petitions her (government) to do something, in this case release stuff

I see Barry G behind Corbyn just as if to annoy whoever said they were glad to see less of him earlier.

PM is not there. Opposition MPs shouting “where is he?”

I’m clearly the only one watching tonight lol so

Sickening to see MPs who have routinely trashed the Human Right Act and promoted intrusive surveillance legislation scurrying to hide behind ECHR and Article 8 in respect of electronic communications

That was me, I don't mind looking at him or even listening to him as long as he's talking about anything but Labour Party policy.

Corbyn refers to the government’s “numerous WhatsApp groups”. We live in a society...

they are all run by MR seamas milne iirc

Semi decent pronunciation of Taoiseach from Corbyn there. Prime shithousing as a Tory MP asks him how many paramilitary organisations he’s supported.

xp. are they really using whatsapp to communicate? so trump knows everything that's going on, not that it is of any importance really.

Yeah lots of MPs use WhatsApp to communicate and the whips I think use WhatsApp or group texts to contact the MPs

I see John Mann & Rory Stewart both voted against the motion to release Yellowhammer documents.

Tories got their "fuck the law" z team out here huh?

fifteen years later My only reason for standing is that I disagree with the bill

thank you to the people brave enough to watch this for reporting back, tbh

Please enjoy this Gapes content as a corrective

lol

he should be the next speaker of the house

Redwood then Swinson, fuck this shit.

She's such a windbag I forget what she's talking about before each sentence is halfway thru

Hopefully a Labour person will speak next.

Swinson’s bit wasn’t bad.

You hoped too soon :/

FUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUU. Ian Austin.

Not watching - been overruled - what’s he done?

grieve’s motion carried, holy shit
