Looks as though they are scared of their numbers but it shows unfair inconsistency that would piss be off if I were one of the ones kicked out for doing the same thing yesterday.Sounds as though Caroline Spelman will be spared. Govt source says today's vote was NOT being treated as a confidence vote so she won't be kicked out despite breaking three-line whip. Where does that leave party discipline though?
It certainly does... now what the fuck? Seems like the amendment passed by accident or default or something?It gets stranger and stranger:
Are they up to something? People are saying they deliberately didn't send people to count the no votes which means that aye won by default.
What's Friday, declare war on France?Boris Johnson’s week:
Lost his Commons majority
Lost 22 conservative MPs (expelling 21)
Lost 3 votes in the House of Commons
Failed to get a general election
Had his own brother resign from the government
Its only Thursday
Although Johnson seems to be saying he won't do it, I get the impression he wants to find a way out rather than just not do it. I think the Tories at the moment are literally just lying to the public with things like "surrender bill" and so on, and basically hoping people are so ill-informed they vote for them anyway. Classic demagoguery I guess.Q: On the Andew Marr Show you could not say you would comply with the bill designed to stop a no-deal Brexit because you had not seen it. Now you have seen it, will you comply with it?*
Yes, says Gove.
Leading to the obvious joke,"Asked about Jo Johnson’s resignation at business questions, Jacob Rees-Mogg, the leader of the Commons, said MPs were used to the idea that people within families might disagree on policy. He pointed out that his own sister, Annunziata, had jointed the Brexit party and got elected as an MEP"
"Totally different policies, one is a member of a scarcely relevant hard right single issue party dedicated only to delivering the hardest possible Brexit whatever the cost to the country - and the other is Annunziata Rees-Mogg"
