Westminstenders: Chaos

[RedToothBrush]

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

... They don't.

what was the other amendment they were going to vote on tonight?

Im pretty sure it's really hard to actually kick out an MP because they have been elected by their constituents. Anyone know what it would actually take (I don't remember it happening in my lifetime)?

8 Labour voted with the government
Barton, Campbell, R. Cooper, Flint, Hepburn, Hoey, Mann, Stringer

Is that Nicky Morgan voting for the Letwin amendment?

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.

I’d have said the same of Alistair Burt. I had him pegged as a hardline Brexiteer until he abstained in the No Deal vote last week...

Lols, I keep seeing info on the state broadcaster immediately after it has been posted on here. Clearly this is the place to be for the proper up to date info!

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

As others have said, to the back benches, and they lose their ministerial allowances and perks. Many come back under a new PM, some never do.

Criminal acts? Not sure even then. I know you can't resign as an mp. You have to go to the chiltern hundreds or somefing???

I still hope they will resign at some key moment. They can't be this useless, surely?

A scandal big enough that they are forced to resign (though I doubt in this current shower there is a scandal sufficiently large enough to shame them into resigning) or being sent to prison for over a certain length of time.
MPs can be suspended (as was Ian Paisley Junior recently) and they can have the whip removed (though they keep their seat) - but I think the only way to actually get rid of them forever is to deselect for the next GE.

Hoey is a disgrace. Did she really need Bercow to explain to her earlier today that international law takes precedent over domestic law?

Found this

Nicky Morgan is clearly a bit confused

Green and Morgan voted against government. I guess they want a Malthouse indicitive vote as an option.

Bugger

Becket amendment defeated 311 314.

Oh for God sake!

8 Labour voted with the government

Fuckers.

The major votes have been passed due to Labour votes. Labour MP's defying the whip. Last summer and again recently. Tory rebels being countered by Labour rebels. I know why as they are in Brexit voting seats but one shouldn’t ignore this critical point. If these Labour MP's hadn't kept voting with the Tory government this would have come to a head much sooner.

Abstentions there then.

Maybe we'll get a Speaker's vote yet. That was only 3.

Hoey isn't in a Leave seat. She's just in the wrong country.

Thanks pretzels. So short prison sentences a just dandy then?! 😱

I watched that. Pure playing to a Brexiter "What about sovrin'y?" gallery. She knew the answer and knows why - at least, I bloody hope so.

She’s just an idiot.
