Just a bit.
Crushed
I find not watching it unfold is a positive thing as it doesnât remind you of what a shambles May and the Tories are making and also that MPs are total lying cunts.
That was close
Benn amendment defeated.
By 2
Corbyn amendment next
Fuck. Powell lost
Will the numbers change in Bennâs?
Couldâve done with winning Bennâs amendment. Corbynâs amendment wonât be as close
Cost us the fun of watching the Govt. whip a vote against their own motion.
Ruth Smeeth resigns from Lab FB.
Iâve resigned from Labourâs front bench this evening in order to vote against a second referendum. This was a difficult decision but I have a duty to support the will of my constituents. We need to leave, and leave with a deal that works for the Potteries
16 Tories voted for Bennâs amendment but unlikely that any of the pro-remain, anti No Deal cabinet members did. If they had it wouldâve been quite interesting.
I gather that even if Bennâs amendment had passed the government would have whipped to put down the whole motion & killed it.
Closer than I thought
More fuck
That was interesting. If one MP had gone through the other lobby it would have been a draw and the Speaker would have had the casting vote.
Bercow would love that!
Indeed. He would have been in raptures.
AFAIK 6 Lab MPâs voted against it.
Scabs
Is our tagged MP voting or does she have to be home by 7.00?
Abstained on the Benn amendment so she should be locked up again for spoiling the funâŚ
No surprise that the Government motion passed quite easily.
