Westminstenders: Arse about Face

[RedToothBrush]

Everything about Brexit seems to have been done wrongly.

Setting red lines to rule out a compromise

The attempt to use executive power to trigger A50, that resulted in a court case

Triggering A50 before knowing what the UK wanted

Agreeing to the backstop before any Tory MP understood the GFA

Appointing a Brexit minister before checking he understood where Dover was.

May going on about NI and pissing off the DUP before they were just about to climb down.

Having a Meaningless Vote repeatedly with a gun to head.

Contempt of Parliament and just general fucking up.

Tonight, 3 days before we were due to leave the HoC finally sat down to decide what Brexit outcomes they thought would be a good idea - more than 2years after that should have happened.

And we now we are told the meaningful vote might be may even more meaningless by being wrapped up in the illusive Withdrawal Agreement Implimentation Bill.

Farce doesn't even cover it.

Anyway Indicative Vote results incoming in approx 15 mins.

Yes...humidifiers help!

For your delectation:

@PeterGrantMP
Speaker suspends sitting & vacates chair while we wait for results of this evening’s votes - as he had said he would do.
Tory MPs object that the mace is still there.
They object by trying to raise points of order to an empty chair.
What a total shambles of a parliament.

Alistair Campbell saying on Sky News that he was the closest he's ever come to tearing up his Labour Party membership card this morning over Barry Gardiner's "whipping on the indicative votes" comments

And he says his wife Fiona is already long gone!

PMK.

pmk

I'm picturing Bergerac scarpering about Jersey in his fetching maroon anorak to this soundtrack. Catching limp villains and making ladies swoon.

Thanks, red 💐
I hope DS is soon fit again
Frozen fruit juice in ice lolly molds ?

I’m watching sky news.
In France and the bbc channels are being scrambled on the satellite

Who is counting these votes-one very tired old man??

Had to give up on the clock and switch to twitter.

Reminder
B - No Deal
D - Common Market 2.0
H - Norway - without customs union
J - Leave EU with UK-wide customs union
K - Labour’s permanent customs union
L - Revoke A50 if no deal Brexit not approved day b4 due to leave
M - 2nd ref
O - Seek standstill agreement with EU

Bells ringing in HoC.
2 minute warning to results of votes

Here we go....I'm watching on Sky - Parliament Live channel

PMK from a London Hotel!

I've realised I absolutely hate TM's bloody voice. I love Jess Phillips's, and Soubry's, and I don't mind Amber Rudd's. I love Mhairi Black when she speaks and also like Valerie Vaz, Caroline Lucas, Wera Hobhouse.

Can't abide fake-posho Penny Mordaunt either.

Is it the timbre?

How many times do they have to vote against no deal? My heart can't take the stress.

Clarke's was close

This is worrying.

Everything is No

for Beckett

The noes are doing well...

Fuck. So close to having a 2nd referendum

Lordy how does anyone keep up with this? This evening I lost the will to live, hid my iPad and went and did some therapeutic translating for DH's business. I might be out of a job soon thanks to Brexit so the money will be welcome.

WTF are they voting on brexits that aren't on offer? Are we still playing unicorn hunting after more than 1000 days?

No no no
