TIme to lube up.
I have just read my post. Being, I meant being.
Do they get paid extra to turn up for a votes or something?
It's all Parliamentary intrigue and plotting at the mo, @DomesticTadpole. Fascinating stuff for some of us weirdos.
They only turn up if there is money involved.
And drink plenty of fluids.
What will happen with NI and the border?It's all Parliamentary intrigue and plotting at the mo, @DomesticTadpole. Fascinating stuff for some of us weirdos.
Oh, no-one's agreed anything on that yet. No-one's agreed anything at all, except that we won't leave without a deal and we don't want Mrs May's deal. However, as it stands and unless the law is changed, we're leaving without a deal because Article 50 (which says we'll leave on 29 March) actually is the law and it hasn't been revoked.
These votes in Parliament at the moment aren't law.
That's to try to get Corbyn off the fence while Starmer, Cooper and Benn run the party.
It's been defeated.
Benn's amendment : Ayes 312 Noes 314
By 2, so close. Annoying.
So now we have Corbyn's rather lacklustre amendment.
State of them defeating the Benn amendment. Disgrace
We will know when they have time to think about it.
So May's deal has been rejected twice.
No Deal was rejected yesterday
Extending Article 50 has been rejected today.
Sooooo what?
No Deal was rejected yesterday
Extending Article 50 has been rejected today.
Sooooo what?
It's getting silly isn't it, whatever vote comes up they just reject it?
So revoking Article 50 isn't even an amendment that will be voted on, right?
We haven't got to the main vote on extending article 50 yet.
Extending A50 hasn't been voted on yet
Is that the Corbyn one or the one after?
Right.
It is your fecking problem mate! This is what you get when you had an empire, now you deal with the consequences.
It's not an amendment but the actual motion that will be voted on. The amendments except the one asking for a second referendum were trying to change the wording of the motion that will be voted on later.
There's got to be a quicker way of doing this.
Fecking hell.
Fecking hell.
I know the Brits aren't big on taking cues from the US, but...
We've got electronic voting buttons at the tables the Congressmen sit at.
They do it faster on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
This strikes me as some sort of 'holding onto tradition' nonsense.
Our parliament is all about pomp and circumstance there is no way they are going to change the ceremony of this whole process.
Yep.
Someone needs to tell them that traditionally the British Parliament had a clue of what the plot was.
And rightly so in this case, it's demonstrably democracy in action. A German on telly earlier today reckoned Bercow was a superstar in Germany.
Is the next one the big one to decide if Brexit should be delayed or not?
Yep
He is, but he'll be gone soon. I'm hoping he makes a big impact first, though.
Corbyn's amendment -
Ayes 302 Noes 318
I don't think that he should have tabled an amendment as it just gave toe government an easy win.
I'd hate to turn into it a Who Wants to be a millionaire type ask the audience mechanism. Feck that
