Will Liz Truss resign today? Part 2: PMQs

[sunnydaytoday0]

Well she's staggered on to PMQs today. Get the popcorn ready.

Agreed

I agree this is seriously dangerous. It’s highly entertaining but it’s our democracy in its death throes.

Physically manhandling someone and dragging them into a voting lobby is surely assault?

Conservative MP here speaking about how he’s had enough.

@the80sweregreat the communities that will want fracking will be the ones offered 'incentives' (aka money). Maybe more will go for this option if there are big spending cuts

I can’t even be entertained by it. Too much madness.

It's not the death throes of our democracy, it's the death throes of the Tory party.

Ahh! Money talks ..
why didn't I realize this ?

After a robust interview with Steve Baker MP I used a very offensive word in an unguarded moment off air.
While it was not broadcast that word in any context is beneath the standards I set myself and I apologise unreservedly. I have reached out to Steve Baker to say sorry

I agree the UK’s democracy will survive, but the country’s economy and standing will be forever diminished.

Honestly, watching this isn’t good for your mental health. Watching 650 poor quality weasels squabbling and shitting on one another. A nest of vipers.
The majority of the government are a load of backstabbing , self serving arse holes.

I can’t take much more of this shit. I need to switch off from this for a while.

Physically manhandling someone and dragging them into a voting lobby is surely assault?

At the very least against some sort of Parliamentary code of conduct ? If they coerced into voting is the vote still valid ?

They were interviewing a long standing MP on BBC News and he was saying it isn’t unheard of for there to be robust encouragement in the voting lobbies. This is a bit extreme but politics is and always has been a dirty business.

Whipping basically is coercing people into voting 😂

Apparently Walter Harrison used to knock blokes up against the wall and squeeze their balls.

I have reached out to Steve Baker to say sorry

Not sorry

But Baker is a cunt. No need for apologies there IMHO Krish.

Apparently the D Chief Whip walked out saying he'd had enough and he couldn't take it any more (plus expletives).

It's like Brexit Wars. I remember Labour went crackers for one of the meaningful votes and had MPs coming in to vote in ambulances on a three line whip, as if there was ever any danger of Theresa May getting her deal through 🙄

What did Kristan Guru-Murthy call James Baker?

A cunt I believe

He called Brexit Baker a C-U Next Tuesday (soz to be prudish, but I really don't like that word - for Baker though....)

In Liz Truss’ ultra-safe Tory constituency today…

Why don't we have electronic voting? then no chance for all this childishness

Wow! Well he's not wrong, but still...

We have it in the Scottish parliament, it’s just buttons. Works well and is much quicker!

It's really unprofessional actually.
