Westminstenders: Chaos

[RedToothBrush]

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

... They don't.

I'm absolutely exhausted and recovering from some virus, but I'm so wound up I can't switch off.

Woo!

pretty that icecream sounds ace.

And a great letter from Harrington. Hope it’s the first of many 🤞

Yes it does mean something - time has to be made for indicative votes.

And it means that MPs have completely lost faith in the government. They promised time for indicative votes anyway, but MPs felt the need to pass this because they don't trust the government.

Possibly two more resignations.

Well just ate a mars bar. I usually put it in fridge and when its hard slice it up and eat a little bit at a time. One bar lasts a couple of days.I have just wolfed the lot down!

Are there more significant votes tonight?

Sounds like Burt and Steve Brine resigned to vote for Letwin - If thats right means PM has lost another three ministers over Brexit

”Terrible speech from Barclay. Like a rainy February day in human form.”

The only positive thing to come from Brexit for me was discovering Ian Dunt.

3 ministers resigned Burt Harrington didn't catch third ones name!

I don't want to sound like Philomena Cunk, but when ministers resign, where do they go? (Serious question)

I'm glad to see they've finally all wised up (or a majority of them have) to the fact that you cannot trust a word Theresa May says and you have to nail everything down.

Health Minister Steve Brine also to resign.

Have to admit I had never heard of him before.

@IanDunt
The govt has basically been put in special measures.

@IanDunt
GET IN.

Night night

Trying to think of a being in salty water gag for Steve Brine. Failing

Anyone else think that maybe, just maybe, Rudd Clark and Gauke are holding off resigning for now to exert influence on TM from within cabinet? They got the juniors to resign.

Surely the PM must resign now. I mean she won't. But she really should.

when ministers resign, where do they go?

Nowhere. They are still MPs representing their constituencies but they no longer hold additional responsibilities. They lose some salary (I think).

Good point Loletta.

Ah, thank you. So they can still vote etc., they're not kicked out. (Was wondering why it was good news if remainers resigned).

Am watching turbine civil servant in the box. Any moment I expect them to "do a Stealla Creasy" and start banking their head on a table

Scooby : it is Luscious and dead easy and very calorific

Just what's needed at the moment - especially as we're trying really hard not to drink or during the week. May's vituperous tirade last week meant we failed last week

I’ve always thought Steve Brine was one of the most coat-tail hanging line-toeing MP there was. Seems like I was wrong. If it’s true.

Or he’s just seen that following May is no longer a career enhancing move....
