guess that as official as you get, though one could ring up the number 10 press office

bojo is donezo

lmao

when does prorogation begin?

i think i heard in the commons that it could be selected for the end of monday, tues or wed

commons live stream was quite a few hours ago

The fuck... So now Boris wants to rush to bill through, and delay prorogation - the guy loves his 4D chess

dont forget the may deal amendment was not opposed, the tellers for no did not show even tho the no room for voting was packed

he gonna bring another vote for elections on monday

doubt it will pass

labor will likely move the goal post they set out yesterday i beleve

and after that he gets trapped by his own prorogation shenanegans

allot can happen in that time

labor mp's were asked to vote no but most abstained, they are not following corbyn blindly

the GE vote was only 1 short of winning

the ge vote needs 2/3rds of the parliament to pass

yes it does and it was 1 vote short of 2/3

i was watching, someone even shouted out in parliment when it was delivered

interesting

corbyn did not even show for the result

it was a moral victory for the PM

they really are a cluster of fuckmongles

it needs atleast 429 votes

they got 298 iirc

this is entirely accurate and needs more coverage

if all were voting, but many abstained

did they not i recall it being called out

If the Government does not have the confidence of the commons then either some other group needs to prove they are capable of a majority

Which no one can

Or a general election happens

But because of the fixed term Parliament act... NOPE, lets just throw 400 years of Parliamentary practice out of a fucking window

yup

it was introduced in the coalition gov was it not?

one of those seemed like a good idea at the time jobs

"Jacob Rees-Mogg has announced the Government will table a new election motion on Monday evening. After the anti-No Deal bill is set to become law…

This would satisfy Labour’s conditions for voting for an election. Will they keep their word..?"

I was reeing against that piece of wank, at the time, as it would introduce super majority voting to the commons, for which there is no precedent in the UK

And it doesn't really matter if the brexit bill is passed into law

A new Parliament can just immediately repeal that law

pretty sure corbyn will only give in to elections only if an extension is agreed with EU too
