"You're entitled to your view. I couldn't give a flying flamingo."

An absolute circus!

Fireworks now.

Bercow looks absolutely furious

BonnieSituation

Opposition benches refusing to head to the HOL. Bercow was really peeved having to leave. This prorogation is going to bite the CONS so hard.

Bercow may be about to do the same.

Edit: balls, he's just having a rant before he capitulates.

Capitulate is a bit rich. He has little choice but to go. He registered his disgust. That's all he could do!

I was convinced he was going to go all Mrs Brown on us

True that. He's resigning shortly though, would have done his career no harm to huff and puff for a while. Might not get his knighthood then of course, although I am sure he probably doesn't care.

He licks his lips when he's pissed off or feeling particular sense of achievement. He's furious.

He hasn't been getting that for a while. Do keep up man.

Say's it all really. Democracy silenced .

Is that real?!

There will be some serious images of this day.

The pictures of the HOC chamber empty on the govt side and full on the Opposition benches while the Speaker relayed into the record what happened in the HOL was pointed.

Great images now of the remaining MPs shaking hands with the Speaker as they leave the chamber are great.

The CONS are going to regret this so hard!

I missed the last 20 minutes

Bercow waiting for the Tories, they never did show, another shameful act aimed directly at the speaker. Everyone else returned and shook his hand as they left.

Tell me how

You be able to watch it back on Parliamentary TV.

I just watched it. Pretty epic day in the HoC. No question about that.

Yes!

I'm expecting a Brexitcast on this tomorrow. Very interesting to see they're take on it.
It's kind of like the punditry after the match with the usual biases making a barely disguised appearance.

What are the actual chances of the EU even giving another extension? Seems like those who voted against no-deal think they've bought themselves a little more time. Could end up panic-voting for a WA if and when the EU declines.

Literally sat for 6 hours watching it! My Irish Nationalism taking a wallop!

That was a dramatic end to parliament . Scenes of which have never been seen.
Really is a big mess.

Well that's interesting. I suspect that the DUP would simply point to the petition of concern to block anything incisions SSM and Abortion.

If he was then he'd storm the election "went to jail to achieve Brexit" what a great slogan that would be, that's not really Boris though.:D

You can't be an MP if you've had a (2 year?) Spell in prison. Although I believe technically a PM need not be an MP.

Great.. so we're back to May's first deal with the EU?

That not the one sunk under buckets of red blood?

Seems like there was a lot of activity last night! Almost too much to catch up on.

What did I miss in my sleep?

Bots are out in force on social media this morning.

Lots of obvious bot accounts on Facebook saying
I support Boris 100%
Back Boris 100%
Back no deal 100%

Some article comments and tweets are full of nothing but such phrases. All
