Westminstenders: Dear Santa for Christmas I'd like...

[RedToothBrush]

The ERG to be the grinch that stole the Tory Party Christmas who ultimately get what they deserve.

To remain in the EU

Donald Trump's impeachment

For politics to be boring again

A trex toy for my son

Mrsr8, I have some dark chocolate in the cupboard you can have. But I need to wait and see what comes of hazard getting some reassurances about croissants from delia smith.

Well, considering how long it took them to count correctly to 48 ...
but it probably makes a difference when ERG are doing the count

Looking forward to dead ringers on friday.

I might have missed the page where the croissants entered the discussion, I thought the UK having decided to leave the UK are now trying to steal France's treasures. If we are trading edibles I will swap oatcakes for sprouts.

Delia Smith has reassured me my chocolate crossiants are the only crossiants to deliver crossiants means crossiants.

I hope to have a long partnership with lemon drizzle.

Excellent. So we will get the result around 1st April? Very apt.

How are we eating these croissants? Are we tearing chunks off and dunking them in hot chocolate? I got told off for not eating them like once.

Dont know the legitimacy of this but:

Lee harpin @lmharpin
Told @theresa_may has now been told result of #voteofconfidence ahead of 9pm media announcement

Christopher Hope@christopherhope

We are in Committee Room 14 now for the announcement. Officers of the 1922 looking somber fwiw.

Anxiety eating means anxiety eating.

🥐means 🥐

@HannahAlOthman
Unconfirmed reports that one MP accidentally spoiled their ballot and was too embarrassed to ask for another
The majority of bets are on Grayling

They’ve cheered up a bit now.

This is all too exciting.

Seems to me Hazard is not leading a proper Crexit. Of course she was a Pancaker before the vote. We should have had a proper Coissanteer leading the croissant negotiations. In fact, there seem to be a lot of people on this thread talking down croissants. They need to get behind Crexit. If the croissants turn out to be shit it will all be the fault of the people who said all along they didn’t want them.

Checking in from my work Christmas dinner, what a night to choose!

Failing Grayling 😂
Then there are all those who can't decide, so they cross both options
Those who are too drunk to see the ballot sheet ..

Tokyo ! 😂🍹

I want croissants with all the health benefits of Greek salad.

Well known pub next to the EU Commission is playing Dancing Queen. Is it a sign!?

I’m supposed to be on a gluten free and dairy free diet.
I’m dreaming of a croissant (or two now).

Bugger.

Tokyo It said onTwitter tonight was (with deep irony) also the Conservatives' Christmas party so you're in good company. Or maybe not

Result at 9pm.

Skynews:

European Parliament approves trade deal with Japan
It has been dubbed the world's biggest trade deal, covering economies that represent a third of the world's GDP.
The deal will come into effect in February, a month before the UK leaves the EU.

< really clever move, leaving that >

Some EU leaders see the deal as a possible model for future relations with the UK.
EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom predicted a deal with the UK would "go even further" than Japan's.

Guardian live blog says a 1922 person has said announcement will be made 9pm on the dot.
