Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?


  • Total voters
    194
  • Poll closed .
Just been looking at the casualty list again. 2 former Tory Chancellors of the Exchequer kicked out the party at a single stroke, a former Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and a shedload of former ministers.

Jesus this was stupid.

Would be an apt tagline for this entire thread.

Edit: Oh and they also kicked out Winston Churchill's grandson, for whatever that's worth.
 
Sam Gyimah saying they've had their parliamentary passes disabled. How petty can you get
 
So for the older posters amongst us, just how historical and unprecedented times are we currently living in? I'm only 28 and have been following politics since around 2006, never quite known anything like this.

No one's lived through anything like this.
 
Removing the whip from Ken Clarke? Fecking joke of a decision. I hope he decides to change his mind and stand again in the upcoming election just to stick two fingers up at these jokers.
Wonder how this will play with Tory voters?

Surely they can’t be happy that iconic figures like Clarke and Soames are being rodgered like this, especially by a new upstart PM who has no capital to bank on yet.

I’m 43 and been following politics since I was in my early teens. Nothing has come close to this.

Well, Rees-Mogg & Johnson probably think it's as historical a time in British life as the Reformation. Similarly - if you study the prime movers behind that event - greed, self-interest and expediency were the main motivations.
 
I can imagine that there a lot of Tory MP’s, who voted with the government tonight, will be in shock to see so many of their colleagues kicked out of the Tory party considering how many times the members of the current government voted against Therese May’s government on multiple occasions.

IMO, Thatcher losing her job was quite a nutty few days.

Ditto Iraq war debate (3m protest, ‘fake’ dossier, killing of scientist) were unprecedented.

I have a friend who is an MP and she says Jo Cox’s death was her most intense memory of 15+ years in Westminster.

But this probably tops it, taking into account what will happen rest of the week.

It's my Party, and I'll cry if I want to.

:lol:

21. They've sacked 21 MP's. When they were already a minority government. It's quite something.
 
It’d be a big ask. Soames has a 20k majority, Hammond 18k and Gyimah 24k. These aren’t swing seats.

Lib Dems are going to take a lot of labour votes. I hope they don't run, Lib dems are a waste of space.
 
Can someone explain why getting fecked out of the party is described as “having the whip withdrawn”? Such a weird phrase. I should probably google it but can’t be arsed.
The British establishment has long been controlled by BDSM enthusiasts.

It's a hunting reference if i recall correctly.
 
Boris is not only dividing the country, he’s dividing the Conservative party. The party is moving away from the center ground.
And all because of people who believe in nothing beyond their own advantage...
 
Somewhere, David Cameron is absolutely pissing himself laughing.
 
I'm trying to think of the next crazy thing that they'll do. Call on brexiteers to block parliament? Officially merge with the brexit party? Resign the office?
