yeah it's just given me thoughts that should probably be on another thread, no place for arid sandworlds, internecine conflict and genetic determinism on the UK politics thread

"sand-gripping" has powerful narrator's voice energy

Govt to table a motion for GE Monday

Get ready for a weekend of "will they or won't they why won't they make up their mind" coverage abt Labour.

Monday? Coward.

nashwan, Thursday, 24 October 2019 16:25 (four years ago) link

The timing is very tricky - if he can’t pass an election motion next week then you run into the difficulty of getting polling venues

gyac, Thursday, 24 October 2019 16:26 (four years ago) link

It is quite amazing and absurd that Johnson gets to approach this as if he had May-like approval ratings and an actual majority to gamble with.

nashwan, Thursday, 24 October 2019 16:26 (four years ago) link

I mean pre-manifesto approval of course

nashwan, Thursday, 24 October 2019 16:27 (four years ago) link

Confirmed. Johnson just announce he will table a motion for GE. December 12th. BUT needs 2/3 of MPs to approve https://t.co/e6nzqjDOuA

I feel like postal ballots in December could play out badly.

just two days after I told my local councillor that I didn't join Labour to turn up at local meetings to vote for him and haven't got the time, inclination etc... somebody has petrol-bombed and burned his cars out. Not good.

calzino, Thursday, 24 October 2019 16:48 (four years ago) link

Horrendous. Hate crime I’m guessing?

gyac, Thursday, 24 October 2019 16:50 (four years ago) link

probably but not certain, those charming Yorkshire Patriots were marching the town centre a couple of weeks back, although not in massive numbers and I don't think any of them were local, but that could be connected. It was 4 people caught on CCTV that carried out the attack, it seems a bit too serious for daft young louts. But like he says he has lived in Thornhill Lees for 45 years and this hasn't happened before, it's rough as fuck but not that rough!

Unconfirmed reports that the Lib Dems abstained from the final queens speech motion and it passed 310-294.

gyac, Thursday, 24 October 2019 17:09 (four years ago) link

Surely not. Even for them

YouGov to see it (wins), Thursday, 24 October 2019 17:10 (four years ago) link

Do those figures add up to a Lib Dem abstension?

LOL Lib Dems, SNP, both of whom were talked up as likely to support an early GE voting against it after all, Boris' bullshitter in a china shop approach effective as ever.

those old granite buildings in Aberdeen look amazing and like they will still be standing for thousands of years after human extinction.

(xp) It's the genuine Voice of Glasgow.

On coming home from work I turned on the TV just in time to hear Reeg-Moss in the Commons sniggering about how Scotland The Brave is now Scotland The Run Aways(?) and then invoking Agincourt in the next breath.

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Thursday, 24 October 2019 17:36 (four years ago) link

Reeg-Moss was a genuine mistake btw!

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Thursday, 24 October 2019 17:36 (four years ago) link

I can see why Reeg-Moss holds Scots in such disregard - Central Fife laughed him out of town in 1997.

Only two LDs abstained btw. 11 Labour MPs, but some of them were paired.
