Westminstenders: Christmas Cold, Campaigning, Canvassing and Cancelled Carols

[RedToothBrush]

It looks like a December General Election is on.

The EU have officially extended A50 until 31st January. We have to name an EU Commissioner though.

All that seems left to do is decide between the 9th and 12th December.

The difference between the two is about whether there is any possibility that the WAB can be passed before Parliament dissolves.

A pre-brexit GE is thought to favour the LDs at the expense of Labour and the Conservatives. What the Brexit Party decide to do and where they decide to stand will also be crucial.

Demonstrate how you'd call a Division

Bercow is the Master

@Horehound the woman is for labour so you want here on the right of the picture at the end if you want the date change.

PMK with thanks

Lock the doors.

God she's shíte.

@tobee thank you for your reply to my question on the previous thread. I used to think Bercow was awful but I'm really going to miss him when he goes.

I have to say that I have found it fascinating watching BBC Parliament over the past year. I have learnt so much and found it so interesting.

Oh - and well done Parliament for letting children go through the division lobby

I've given up watching as no one is keeping my pounding head engaged with their waffling. Whoever the next speaker is is going to be a poor substitute for Bercow. What was boothroyd like?

Ayes. 295
Noes. 315

Government has won

Election on 12 December

...assuming the main vote goes through

@prettybird do they not still have to have the third reading and vote on it?

How did people reply so quickly!!!

Cross post

@chomalungma fast fingers!!!

Thank you

Dear god she is crap. Keeps having to be told her job!!!!

bercow come back please.

Gosh this speaker is dreadful!!

Who is deputising so badly? I can't watch at the moment.

She also got a fright...for fuck sake

Who is the Speaker? She's terrible!

Chomalunga - we (or at least I ) part write the post, in advance of the actual result

On the plus side, a friday off work appeals more than a Tuesday.

What is he doing?

Omg this is horrific
