Westminstenders: Pragmatism versus Purity

There is one question for the HoC in the next week and that's will you persue pragmatism or purity?

May looks as if she is being sidelined after a backbench withdrawal of support, the DUPs withdrawal of support and an omminous silence eminenating from the Cabinet.

Her speech on Thursday where she pitted the people against parliament has been her last mistake. She's now a danger to the country's stability and the safety of MPs.

The priority for the week is to pass the SI to change the UK exit date from 29th March to the EU's new terms.

After that, with May's deal stuffed due to lack of support and a Bercow ruling it looks like we are facing some sort of indicative free vote. This seems to be being supported by ministers in government regardless of leave or remain.

The prospect of a Tory Leader Election contest looms. It remains to seen if that can happen in the next three weeks with so much else at stake. But this is the Tory party.

The penny seems to be finally dropping about the reality of leaving the EU and how we leave the EU. A week before we were due to go. The incompetence of Parliament is laid bare in all its glorious full scale.

Well tbh I would not put anything past May to get brexit done. It means we go with no deal. I do not have enough stock piled or money enough for much more but I do have a full petrol tankGrin

I'm sure if that was true it would have been 'breaking news'.....

BambooBoobam · 24/03/2019 16:37

I saw it on twitter so went to check for myself. Fucking hell!

Apileofballyhoo · 24/03/2019 16:37

Maybe it was a practice run.

"Our democracy isn't working."

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

You can't just dissolve parliament like that.
Surely the five year rule means they need to vote.
Unless Mogg has discovered a King Alfred Rule.

Littlespaces · 24/03/2019 16:39

Well they were talking about martial law.

It's what the website says when we are about to have a GE.
Cock-up rather than anything sinister .

Holidayshopping · 24/03/2019 16:41

It can’t be intentional-must just be a cock-up.

Quite an unfortunate one then, at such a sensitive time.

MockerstheFeManist · 24/03/2019 16:44

To err is human

But to really screw everything up, you need a computer

Horehound · 24/03/2019 16:44

But do we know when it changed? Or are people now just out looking stuff?

SwedishEdith · 24/03/2019 16:45

It's on Twitter but the post is dated Oct 2017. Cock-up/old link.

tobee · 24/03/2019 16:45

You'd have thought it will at Lear make the news later to explain its a mistake?

Horehound · 24/03/2019 16:46

Meh

tobee · 24/03/2019 16:46

October 2017 was also wrong surely?

tobee · 24/03/2019 16:47

Lear! Least. Don't think King Lear would be too good at delivering us Brexit either

Icantreachthepretzels · 24/03/2019 16:48

this one is saying parliament dissolved but but this one is working just fine.
Cock up not conspiracy.

"It's not the time to change the captain of the ship", says Michael Gove.

They're still playing this game, aren't they?

People are getting a bit too excited over anything now....

yolofish · 24/03/2019 16:50

I made up a joke today. It might be a bit lame, but it made me laugh:

What's the similarity between a Labrador and the DUP?

They'll both do anything for a treat!

Horehound · 24/03/2019 16:51

I just read a tag line on the BBC saying "theresa may's deal could gain more support if she stands down". This makes no fucking sense. It's the same deal but you just won't vote for it if she is still PM. Pathetic.

tobee · 24/03/2019 16:54

Pathetic indeed Hore. Kind of sums it all up.
