Westminstenders: The Bill Cash Appreciation Society

We've had a new thread pretty much everyday for the last week or so, so I'm short on inspiration.

There haven't been too many new developments today. There have been two ministerial resignations. Both were ministers close to Boris Johnson.

We had a vote to add an extension if we still have no deal agreed at the end of next week to the Withdrawal Bill. May has said she will do this anyway; this would merely tie her hands. It passed by 5 votes. It now is fast tracked to the committee stage and third reading.

A business of the house amendment by Benn to secure a debate and Indicative Vote 3 next week failed after a speakers vote. Bercow followed convention and didn't create a majority where there was not one (though under Erskine May he is free to do the opposite at his discretion).

Corbyn has met May for talks which have been described as construction, though we have no further details though curiously Emily Thornberry put out a statement demanding a ref on whatever was decided which suggests Corbyn isn't keen on the idea. Rumours are of Schrodingers Customs Union: somehow being in a union but not a union. It can't be called a customs union. And Liam Fox has said Corbyn can't have his union. Though he may have a vested interest as he loses his job if Corbyn gets his way.

Oh and the Commons photocopier broke so no one knows what is currently supposed to be happening.

Otherwise it's been a quiet day, all things considered. Too quiet?

@red A politically unimportant question, but I'm nosy: 😂

This "Pizza Club" of senior govt hard Brexiters - do they really eat pizza together while plotting evil deeds ?

I wondered why John Bulls spoofs had Grayling continually asking for pizza

Bill Cash amendment deserves to go down in flames really.

How nice that JRM will be a teller on this one. Being a teller eh? Would have that would be a long way beneath him.

@Susanh12
Crumbs - a government #brexit defeat by 180 votes. That's an absolute whopper. Was about the government being allowed to seek an extension in its own way

There is no evidence that she has always been plotting Revoke or No Deal
She is a no dealer. She is and has been playing to her party's extremists for nearly a decade.

It is our Remain MPs who are having death threats BCF and worse.

Yes I have a bit of a soft spot for Edd. Just making a point that it’s 22.50 and Yvette and hundreds of other parents are still at work. I am sure she was there around 12 noon when I started watching.

GaspodeWonderCat · 03/04/2019 22:53

This new amendment (by Bill Cash) would prevent further amendments to standing orders. Result at 23:05 ish.

Not sure what that means - I understand every word individually but not as a whole.

But Bill Cash has put it fwd so I think it may be 'bad'.

Littlespaces · 03/04/2019 22:54

You only have to glance at the tellers names to see which way you want the vote to go.

I read no further than teller for the ayes - Rees Mogg.

This created an unfortunate link in my brain to the famous Levi’s advert in the launderette. Much as I love Ed Balls, I’m going to have nightmares now Shock

Do you ever think why am I watching this at 11pm on a Weds night. Like a car crash etc you just can't leave till it's all over ...

Unescorted · 03/04/2019 23:03

It looks as if it stops an MP bringing forward an amendment that changes the rules that have already been set - ostensibly to prevent the speaker making it up op on the hoof but will create a parliament in aspic. Not a good thing - the hard of thinking will be able to prevent things by following the rules. it is not clear if it is limited to SO in this bill or will have wider implications.

Belindabelle · 03/04/2019 23:05

I heard it through the grapevine.
Not much longer would you be in the EU.
