NotThePars Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Yeah if more Tory MPs could have urgent prior commitments on this vote that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concept that these chaps can agree to mutually absent themselves says something about the mendacious nature of Westminster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Does stick in the craw a bit when Alan Duncan was whining about Joanna Cherry going to Catalonia during the recess and Miles Briggs had a go at a 66 year old asthmatic female MSP for taking a £4 taxi. So right or wrong this is totally fair game for criticism and frankly he's a turbo-charged Hitler on stilts for not giving a single f**k what he's missing to do the line in the Champions League.

The Master Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 13 hours ago, sophia said: Probably paired. When you have Theresa May supposedly meeting rebels from her own party, it’s unliekly pairing will be in operation for this vote. In fact, given the wafer-thin majority I’d be surprised if whips on either side have approved of any pairing arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Great to see the Ruth "No Surrender" Davidson party getting on with the day job by, erm, missing crucial votes to be assistant referees. ETA: I saw some thick as mince Tory M(S?)P criticising the SNP for not getting on with the roll out of 5G connectivity despite the fact that this is a reserved issue.

I can't see the Angus MP lasting long, she's constantly making an arse of herself. Heard from my girlfriends mother last night that Luke Graham (MP for South Perthshire and Ochil) is a bit of an arrogant tosser who spends his surgeries moaning about SNP not handling reserved matters also.
