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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

(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.

Reeg-Moss was a genuine mistake btw!
I can see why Reeg-Moss holds Scots in such disregard - Central Fife laughed him out of town in 1997.
