All going to Cummings plan https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-parliaments-49837185 talking about anything apart from getting the job of Brexit done. Who would be surprised that having not used the extension time well, the EU just said, “off you pop” U.K. MPs - complete waste of time and money
According to a Point of Order just raised the earliest date for a GE according to the HOC library is now 5th Nov !!
Having seen a few clips of HoC yesterday and today, I haven't been so disgusted with it since the illegal Blair war on Iraq. As things stand, I would be happy for Parliament to be permanently prorogued.
The confirmation by the Speaker was very specific though that that was only the earliest date under the current legislation, suggests an Emergency Debate to change that date is still possible.
Some of them were losing their shit weren't they? It was actually quite epic in a weird voyeur kinda way, almost Jeremy Kyle in its over dramatics, screaming and likeliness of a large majority carrying an STD.
It’s a disgrace. The Mother of Parliaments has turned into the Mother of rows. I’ve never seen such vitriol and open hatred displayed, particularly from the Opposition benches. It’s embarassing. Where’s the modern day equivalents of Catesby & Fawkes?
I suspect most of it is from labour mp's who soon will be jobless Jess phillips, was talking about boris saying humbug, was herself shouty mcshout face during the same debate and comes from a 60.09% leave constituency Karl turner, labour mp for kingston upon hull , who accosted cummings this afternoon and standing inches from his face whilst shouting , comes from a 72.83% leave constituency and whilst watching the shouters blame boris as though it's a game of ping pong and only one person playing was boris, another 8 angry mcangry faces from labour went shouting and 5 of them came from substantive leave constituencies. No matter what the party says, many labour mp's are from leave constituencies and is likely to change the dynamic whenever a ge takes place
I was wondering about this the other day, you know how they do that 'words of the year' type of thing, figured that Facist must be in the most overused words in 2019. It is used rather flippantly and in the majority of cases incorrectly. Another overused term is 'solidarity' I kinda get it when there's been a horrendous incident somewhere, but politicians and activists (hard to separate the two nowadays) wheel out the good old Solidarity line whenever a bit of moral grandstanding suits them. I'm sure there's many more, perhaps 'humbug' will make the cut?
