Was that bugger off meant for a certain Mr Cummins ?

Unquestionably. And anyone of his ilk in Downing St.

Another old one-nationer is Alan Duncan, the sort that will have to rebuild the Tories if they are to survive at all.

It's theatre. Nothing to do with governance. All to do with galvinising the Leave vote.

FPTP means that few in UK under that system care about politics much. What's the point for them, particularly in super safe seats? Such a shame.

So the MPa can just rant and rave in the chamber knowing that most will never even have either heard of, nor have any interest in live Parliament TV.

So they are jousting amongst themselves really.

No offence meant to anyone but he'll survive because they won't be take any responsibility for their economic status. It's the same with the marching season and bonfires, events that scare off investors and make life hard for local businesses. Then they complain that they're economically neglected.

They were taking zero responsibility about the fact Stormont hasn't been sitting for three years and apparently they have been the victims in all of this and looking for solutions to get it back but SF keeps blocking it.

See the point clarified, as I said at the time, that the 21 Tory MPs who voted against the Govn't are still members of the Conservative Party.

This debate tonight in the Commons is an absolute disgrace. A baying rabble. Shocking stuff.

Headshot · 09-09-2019 11:48PM

Damn John please don't leave, please don't

Itssoeasy · 09-09-2019 11:49PM

I wonder which gob****e bercow told to stop it.

Same ole, same ole. They are allowed to do this it would appear. Nothing new there AFAIS. Obviously it is a bit more heated at present.

If I didn’t know any better Id say Boris Johnson looks like he wants to be anywhere else but sitting in the seat he is sitting now.

The simplest answer is that he thought he could goad Corbyn into an election and he failed and now he is in a sulk seeing he would lose another vote this morning.

His body language is shocking

He wants out of there asap

Did I see Theresa May standing next to the speakers chair ?

A lot of eye rolling and huffing...looks like one of the prefects might have hauled him into the headmasters office for plotting to steal chocolate from the fifth form boys tuck shop. can almost imagine him in a pair of shorts with a satchel!

Jo Swinson is doing great. Baying Tories are actually fairly silent

Itssoeasy · 10-09-2019 12:13AM

Jesus.

The treasurer of the Jeremy Corbyn fan club talking now.

And that takes some doing. I still can't believe he's still there.

They're coming back into the chamber...

The only thing that exceeds the pro brexit propaganda in the United Kingdom is the anti Jeremy corbyn propaganda which you seem to have bought into wholesale.

Hermy · 10-09-2019 12:34AM

The ayes have it but not enough of it, it seems.

Enzokk · 10-09-2019 12:35AM

Ayes - 293
Noes - 46

Needed 2/3 majority so nowhere close enough. Parliament is now prorogued.

Shelga · 10-09-2019 12:36AM

Did half of MPs just go home then? As a vote only counts in these circumstances if it’s a vote for the motion?

allthedoyles · 10-09-2019 12:38AM

Boris Johnson just said that the UK sends 250 million pounds a week to Europe for no purpose.

Well, he's by most accounts a smart man so his failures can't be lost on him.

You suspect Labour abstained because that way they didn't vote against an election, technically. They knew it wouldn't pass so there was no reason for them to vote and put it on record.

As for Johnson, he has set the record now. He was willing to implement the referendum result and Labour didn't want to. That will be one of the talking points in the election, but you wonder if other circumstances will overtake him in the meantime. He has the small matter of having to go and ask (beg) for an extension or break the law. That will count for more than trying to trick the people that he is their champions.

BonnieSituation · 10-09-2019 12:45AM

Francois is up moaning about the Lisbon Treaty being "rammed" through the HOC.

Tell me how · 10-09-2019 12:46AM

The absolute madness of a Conservative MP asking the speaker to allow for additional time to debate the deal which Boris is going to get, when he gets it.
On the night when that party is proroguing Parliament for 5 weeks.

Enzokk · 10-09-2019 12:48AM

Politicians are a funny bunch, the Tories were trying to force through a Tory Brexit like they spoke for all people. Now that they have lost 6 votes one of the MPs takes on the SNP for not speaking for all of Scotland. Hypocrite much?

Ah, Francois talking now. He is spouting about the Lisbon Treaty and how Labour is afraid of a general election, but the Tories weren't looking for one on Monday. Funny what losing your majority can do for your principles.

Shelga · 10-09-2019 12:48AM

Mark Francois/Peter Griffin up now, whining away, “ask not for who the bell tolls, for it tolls for them”- what on earth is he on about??

Never has there been a clearer sign that it’s time for bed...

Spanish Eyes · 10-09-2019 12:50AM

It is all over for five weeks now.

Hope the thread continues meanwhile. Off to sleep now.

(the mikes should be turned off for anyone other than the MP speaking BTW), then let it rip when they have finished speaking. It is just ridiculous how they shout and roar over each other. But as I said before it must be tradition or something. But can sound infantile.
