    No argument there but let's not pretend that Boris wasn't once again feigning anger like the charlatan he is to get votes off people who didn't like the black guy.

    How many of the whip-stripped (sounds kinky) are in marginal seats, or seats that could be lost? Sounds a bit risky to do in that many of them.

    Whether we have a General Election, another Referendum or both, there's no way Remain wins after this shit show. Half the remain voters, myself included, would vote BREXIT purely to spite these cunts.

    I hope for their sake that the Remain lot don't think they've won. If there's an election under current circumstances then Cummings could kidnap and rip apart a ten year old child and drink their blood live on TV, as long as his message discipline remains in place then almost nothing will have any effect on voters.

    People do not care about who has the whip or any other process shit.

    I think a lot of them are under the impression that there is some sort of antiquated charm attached the way they carry on in that building. But in reality it's just fucking embarrassing.

    Yeah, colonial savages 200 years behind the empire.

    What’s tonight’s vote about anyway? Just a repeat of last nights to see can anyone be pressured to change and, if so, how many can they do until the right answer is reached?

    Whether no deal should be taken off the table completely, at least until there's an election.

    So we'll be doing it all again in November.

    Did I read rightly somewhere that this no deal bill is going to be amended so THE DEAL can be voted on again? The ultimate comeback. Isn't that the most logical (only?) course of action if you both want to leave but don't want a NO DEAL in any circumstances?

    I also saw some lib dem peer had pitched up with a duvet, obviously in homage to Harvey Yevrage. It is all starting to feel a bit end of days-y.

    It's proper fucked and I suspect one would be hard pushed to find a more shambolic governing state of affairs in another first world country at the moment, perhaps even second world.

    It's more that there's a huge inertia around changing the status quo, plus they're all used to bumbling along not doing very much so throw anything vaguely complex at them and they all fall to bits.

    The EU are naturally going to sell us out on the backstop thing but at least holding on with it this long has provided huge entertainment for everyone. How they eventually spin it and the fall out crying from the shinners will be equally as funny. I’d say we’ll see some momentous and sickly “friends forever” thing on Monday after Vradkar and Johnson meet here under strict orders from the top brass on the continent.

    It's because

    A) there's no incentive for the EU to give us a good deal
    B) 3 quarters of MP's don't want to leave
    C) Nobody is willing to budge on anything.

    Sorry I was going to edit in but decided to leave work instead.

    In the west, The American government literally shutdown for a month this year. In the east, the Lebanese Prime Minister was kidnapped by the Saudi Royal Family. I haven’t even got to the parliamentary punch ups.

    I might have over-egged it then, but we've literally accomplished nothing in over 3 years of fucking about with this and are on the cusp of asking for an extension that will take that to over 3 and a half years.

    If the vote had gone the way it did but instead of setting about sorting a deal etc. the entire team working on Brexit had just fucked off to the pub for 42 months, would we actually be any further away from sorting it than we are now?

    We are utterly ridiculous but this is “literally” false. Both of those got paid.

    I’d argue that the UK is doing better than us because of the mess. I won’t claim to understand it but it seems you’ve been stuck in constitutional crisis for 40 odd years because ceding legislative power to the EU violates the principle of Parliament alone deciding legislative affairs. Now Parliament seems to be reminding the executive of the same point. I’d prefer our legislators be as messy.

    There have been 100 amendments inserted into the bill by the government no deal loyalists to try and delay it for days (each needs 2 votes), so the remain Lords are duly setting off to get through them all.

    It's not a million miles from doing so though. The £ is shot to shit, confidence (in my industry at least) is as low as I've seen it outside an actual recession, businesses don't have a clue what to do in the event of us leaving on a no deal and no-one knows when or how this will end.

    The Sky doesn't need to be falling for there to be an actual problem.

    I'm agreeing with you here Phonics, but it stands to reason if you spend three years of time, energy and money on something and get no further forward fatigue from doing so is going to hit in at some point.

    These speeches are absolutely pointless. Not a single person in there is going to change their minds so just get on with the fucking voting and give the speechwriters the rest of the week of.

    The Scots have taken the stage now, in what a appears to be a stirring honouring of the 25th anniversary of Braveheart.

    We really should have fucked them off by now.

    They seem to be about 20 years closer to another referendum than they ever looked when they shat the last one.
