The wording of the amendment strips it all out. this House has considered the matter but withholds approval unless and until implementing legislation is passed". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Why was it that a Tory came up with this amendment and not Labour? Labour are garbage. A party of Onion men with no real idea how politics work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Corbyn wants it to pass as he is a Brexiteer ! There seem to be some indications now that Labour MPs can vote for it without being deselected. Maybe Corbyn wants it to pass, so it's easier for him to get Leave votes in the upcoming general election. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 4/6 on with Paddy Power that deal will passFine. If it does then we can be sure that all 650 elected MP's have reached their decision based solely on due and rigorous scrutiny of the Brexit deal and its impact on the UK for decades to come.Much better that than any fear for their own future electoral prospects, being shit-scared of the more rabid elements of their constituents, or worst of all, recognising that as so many people are tired of Brexit and it's coverage, then, well, they really should just vote this deal through pronto.Time then to unite the country, by comprehensively dismantling it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 It would be hugely funny if Boris loses by 1 vote to the cry of Theresa May shouting get it roon ye Boris from the back benches. It won't happen of course but it would be an apt staging post in a clusterfuck of political skullduggery in the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 It's a brilliant quote and so true today. Edward Carson "What a fool I was! I was only a puppet, and so was Ulster, and so was Ireland, in the political game that was to get the Conservative Party into Power". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
