This Brexit stuff is better than the last season of GOT

It's thrilling stuff

These last few episodes of season 3 have been among the best stuff on television. And that plot twist at the end of season 1 with the DUP. Bravo. Just bravo.

The pictures they are showing of him, he looks like a school boy who was caught and is sitting outside the principal's office.

Ken Clarke is an exceptional politician. One of the greatest parliamentarians. He didn't hold back there!

He does look like that child in primary school who is unaccountably 2 foot and 6 stone larger than everyone else.

Hon the mad wee Scots.

The HoL will have more than 100 amendments to debate for the Brexit delay bill.

gooch2k9 · 04-09-2019 08:15PM

DUP will hardly be gung ho for an election?

sjb25 · 04-09-2019 08:15PM

Scottish independence now into it

BadTurtle · 04-09-2019 08:16PM

Haha, that dude Wishart holding on tight there to avoid saying "ya ****!"

RickBlaine · 04-09-2019 08:16PM

"I do think the Prime Minister has a tremendous skill in keeping a straight face whilst he's being so disingenuous". Brilliant line by Ken Clarke.

RobertKK · 04-09-2019 08:17PM

I love Ken Clarke, he is one of the politicians who is fit to be PM.
All this Brexit has done is allow the people with extreme views take over that party.
It is shocking the state of the current British government.

sjb25 · 04-09-2019 08:20PM

What did he say...

Itssoeasy · 04-09-2019 08:21PM

What did the last SNP MP say ?

If May had listened to Clarke 2 years ago, the UK would now be happily out of the EU and probably with a good deal.

gooch2k9 · 04-09-2019 08:21PM

Nigel Evans seems an angry man..

Disingenuous party argument all the same. He knows full well they aren't running scared.

Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse. I AM William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight?

Rough translation:)

Very important that all those opposed to a general election vote against it and not abstain.

Anyone who abstains is voting for it essentially.

If they vote along previous lines of tonight, then it should get rejected.

None of the bowlers on either England or Australia playing in the Ashes would bowl a line like that.

I believe he has to get 2/3rds of the seats affirmative. That means that abstentians are effective against the election.

I'd laugh if the only option Boris had left to get his election was to resign as PM and Corbyn then goes to Queen to see if he has confidence of house and it ends up that Labour are able to get a temporary government together. Sounds nuts but anything goes at the moment it seems.

Not necessarily. He can table a motion calling for one notwithstanding the Fixed Term Parliament Act though he would still require a majority.

Johnson requires 434 MPs to back him - so abstention essentially counts as a No vote.

BluePlanet · 04-09-2019 08:31PM

What would happen if BoJo did resign?
Would the Tories get to elect someone else and stay in government now that they don't have a majority?
