Vast Brexit thread merge part IV

After he said it was a worse deal than May’s.

Drood, I’m surprised you’re surprised. They’re Tories and that means the Tory Party’s interests come above all others.

They say cockroaches will survive a nuclear holocaust.

Michael Gove, a man who’s only claim to fame in public life is a lengthy history of lying, back-stabbing and all-round treachery has just stood up on his hind legs and bellowed “the house must keep its promises”. Not the high spot of the day.

Meanwhile, they vote....

Priorities: back pocket/bank account/feeding trough > Tory Party > everything else.

DUP supporting Letwin Amendment apparently, which is good news.

Nothing concerning the DUP is “good news” At best, useful if held at arm’s length and clothes peg clamped over the nose

Just got back from shopping in the city (Norwich not London) to catch May's piece in the HoC - her first since being PM apparently - and I thought she came across well with just the right amount of humour, self deprecation and seriousness.

Great news. Leader of the nasty party stabbed in the back by even nastier bunch. Poetic justice.

Normally I’d agree. But today they have their uses

Gove’s little speech was a bit like a band playing an “obscure one off the new album” for the final song of the evening. Real big ugh moment. Please somebody pour a tonne of salt over that gastropod.

 

[Tony L]

Passed by 16 votes!

So what is Johnson up to?

Is he hoping to win on the HoC today, with the full intention of keeping the UK tied to the EU a la May/establishment, or to have a GE, gain a landslide and follow the instructions of his bourse/vulture chums and turn the UK into Singapore-on-Sea?

Or is he hoping to lose, hope that Juncker won't be overruled by the r27 and/or claim that EU law is supreme over UK law and therefore the Benn Act, and perform a Cummings exit at the end of the month?

 

[droodzilla]

Is it worth pointing out that the rebels are all, bar one, your old bunch?

Revenge of the Labour-Right, or sheer stupidity?

 

[eternumviti]

Ah, so its one of the former.

 

[HarryB]

Haha. Another kick in the teeth for the fat, lying charlatan.

 

[Tony L]

Bullingdon Fatty hasn’t won a single vote yet has he?

 

[HarryB]

Did I hear right that the fat f@ck is saying he won’t send the letter?

 

[TheDecameron]

Reports

Good on you. Pretty crap coverage of the March on BBC. Only seen a few shots showing massive numbers.

Reports of a million Brits marching on
Westminster. Farage got handfuls of bedraggled white pensioners while he pissed off with his bodyguards to the waiting helicopter.

 

[HarryB]

Bullingdon Fatty hasn’t won a single vote yet has he?

7-0 I think.

If it was a boxing match it would have been stopped by now. Fatty is taking so many lefts, he’s almost begging for a right.

They nicely demonstrate that the right will devour itself though as soon as doctrinal differences emerge. The kind of vested and sectarian politics both the Tories and the DUP represent makes me want to vomit.
