The On-going Never-ending Brexit Story Part Four

Not sure about 'the voice of reason' but, yeah, what he's saying makes sense.

 

I think the debates should have gone ahead as is, tbh. There were several labour MP's who said they intended to vote for BOTH labour and SNP motions.

 

I think the SNP probably prefer this outcome, as they can now moan more about Westminster.
As soon as Labour announced they were whipping the vote, they pushed harder for it. Not sure why that was really necessary on an opposition day motion.
I see Humza Yousaf is now complaining about Hoyle. He's not an MP, so should focus on Holyrood, where these kind of amendments to opposition motions are commonplace.

 

It's obvious the two big 'winners' of this are the SNP and the tories. The labour party and particularly the Palestinians in Gaza, not so much.

 

Hoyle's come out and spoken about his reasons for the decision...

Hoyle says Gaza debate decision was motivated by threats against MPs

...

Hoyle once again apologised for a “wrong decision”, against the advice of the House of Commons clerks. He said his mistake had been in pursuit of looking after MPs, after being told of “absolutely frightening” threats against them if the Labour position was not debated.

He said the SNP could have an emergency debate on Gaza, but the offer failed to placate its Westminster leader, Stephen Flynn.​

If that's true, (that the SNP could have had an emergency debate and refused), that doesn't look good for them either. Like we said, a pretty unedifying spectacle all in all.

 

Interesting response given the original demand.

"I am concerned that the Speaker had a private meeting with Keith Starmer, we need to know what was said"

What happened in your own meeting with the Speaker?

I demand to know exactly what was said when labour's leader spoke to the speaker but I'm not going to give you a running commentary as to what I said to the speaker.

Makes sense!

 

Hannah White was on Newscast again tonight and reiterated her position that that the standing orders need revisiting in that they're written in such a way that change the existing position because, atm, they actively STOP discussion in parliament.

There were several possible positions that parliament could have taken towards a possible ceasefire and, as it was, only two were likely to be considered. Frankly, that's a pretty idiotic position to be in.

 

Andrew Bridgen had the Tory whip removed for less than what Truss is currently up to.

 

Andrew Bridgen doesn't have any friends. Liz Truss does. Rishi's majority is so tenuous that a dozen MPs can block everything.

Well...if Liz didn't do it...who did?

 

Was it you?

 

I'mma have to invoke my 5th Amendment right. Iffen that don't work, uh, on 9/8/2022 I was in the Maldives shearing sheep.

 

You too!?!?!

 

So he's previously left the Labour party for being a racist, and is now suspended from the Tories for being a racist. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

💥Lee Anderson suspended

A spokesperson for Chief Whip Simon Hart said:

"Following his refusal to apologise for comments made yesterday, the Chief Whip has suspended the Conservative whip from Lee Anderson MP."

Government majority now down to 46.

 

... and the word 'majority' is a bit elastic as well. There are some things they'd struggle to get through.

 

Is Truss planning to spend longer at CPAC than she did in Number 10?

 

They like her more than we did so, probably.

 

Oliver Dowden's job today is to explain why Lee Anderson was suspended for saying Islamists control London, but Suella Braverman is not suspended for saying Islamists control the UK.#BBCLauraK #trevorphillips

Who'd want that job, eh?! Being Oliver Dowden I mean.

 

I'm also not sure why some conspiracy theories are verboten such as 'moose-lambs control London', but others are OK such as Truss' 'My free enterprise plans for the UK were thwarted by the deep state and woke globalists, (probably jews).
