Westminstenders: Chaos

[RedToothBrush]

If anyone says they know what will happen this week....

... They don't.

Sorry Alan Bennett . Now I feel ashamed.

Will Harrington resignation open floodgates? Goodness I hope so! Fingers crossed it gets through. I know my MP will vote against cos he's a wimp and he likes his cushy job.

So Corbyn has dropped his amendment it seems and we are straight to Letwin.

So do we want the Ayes to have it here - that will mean that Letwin has passed? I get confused with the ayes & noes.

Lol Singing

I’d love to spend the weekend with Alan Bennett. We’d spend it wandering round old churches and eatin cream teas in country gardens whilst he namedropped and gossiped in my ear.

Ooh. I never realised that was a fantasy of mine until now.

Harrington is local to me, although not my MP. Twitter very excited by his resignation.

Gosh labour pulled theirs!

wherearemychickens yep - 25% hazelnuts as I remember. Find and enjoy!

Seems Alistair Burts resigned too, voting in Aye lobby.

Labour's ammnd wouldn't have passed, no point in putting it forward.

wherearemychickens think it is the 'ayes' as then in favour of the amendment. I lose the will to live deciding when it is a double negative vote though ...

Pmk

OMG PMK

I can't catch up.

wherearemychickens yes the Ayes will be voting for Amendment A.

Passing this doesn't really matter anyway, May has said she won't honour it.

I find this bit bizarrely suspenseful

Peston thinks Alistair Burt is going to vote for Letwin and resign as well.

I've just finished off the comfort ice cream I made at the weekend ( not very MN HFLC BootCamp ). My mum's mum's recipe: a Lidl carton of double double cream, half a cup of milk, whipped softly and then a tin of condensed milk, an egg and a teaspoon of vanilla essence whipped in and then softly frozen and then whipped up again and then frozen. Dead easy and very delicious (doesn't work in an ice cream maker). Homemade chocolate sauce of table spoons each of syrup, butter and cocoa, cup of each of milk and sugar, boiled together in a decent sized pan until "the bubbles change" (about 6 minutes) so that it semi hardens on contact with the ice cream.

Required comfort in these uncertain times

Passing this doesn't really matter anyway, May has said she won't honour it.

She has said she won't honour the votes but the votes will happen. This means parliament will have made a decision (maybe...) and will have a direction to push in. It's a step along the road to breaking the deadlock. If it doesn't pass than nothing can happen.

Here we go

Richard Harrington
@Richard4Watford
This evening I wrote to the PM to offer her my resignation

Passed!
