More political fun

Yes, it’s another political entry. No, I’m not apologising.

Today was the debate and votes on the anti No Deal bill. There were a few amendments.

One amendment passed. Why? The Government didn’t supply any tellers for the Nay lobby. This means those votes couldn’t be counted. Meaning the votes for the Ayes won.

This is one of the ways stuff is done in my country.

In case you’re wondering, between PMQ’s and the speeches about the GE vote motion, Boris Johnson has been beaten up so badly I’m surprised it’s actually legal.

Oh, and 21 Tory MP’s had the whip withdrawn last night for voting against the Government. These include the Chancellor of the Exchequer under Theresa May, the Father of the House, the grandson of Winston Churchill (Johnson’s hero) and one who found out by text while accepting the GQ Politician of the Year award.

@jaythesmartone We’ve already got that, to be honest.

The election motion failed, despite the Government winning. The anti No Deal bill is off to the Lords tomorrow and, as long as it passes, it will become law.

Not sure what happens then (except the prorogation) as Labour want to get a GE after the anti ND bill becomes law and others want it after November 1st to make sure Johnson absolutely can’t get out of seeking an extension
