Westminstenders: From Uxbridge to...? Part deux GE 2019 special.

[placemats]

New thread.

General election 12th December 2019. Results out on Friday 13th. Unlucky day for some.

So this election is unusual in that it will focus primarily on Brexit and referendums with domestic issues tagged alongside, for some parties.

Thanks for the new thread. I deliberately stayed out of the aggro of the last one.

Thanks @placemats. 😻

Cheers place.

Place marking on place's new thread!

I try to "grey rock" the aggro but I'm weak and can't help jumping in!

Several times bitten, finally shy. Or am I

For once, both boys to mark my place

I did my best to engage too directly in the more heated and personal exchanges.

Feelings are running high. A lot is at stake

Thanks placemats 💐

Crikey, these threads will probably move like greased lightning until at least Friday the 13th ....

Who said they were doing a 12 / 13 Dec overnight thread, btw ?

Thanks @placemats

pretty The cat on the left looks like they are considering scragging the one on the right, who is smirking to wind them up !

i always feel dirty for saying anything. and dirty for not saying anything.

"we have more in common than what divides us" and all that. x

I'm working and long & late shift on 12th - probably for the bestto be totally distracted

I didn't think it was especially aggressive. Think it's fine to disagree.

Anyway thank you placemats, long may these threads continue.

Dominic Grieve: ‘What Number 10 has said is not true. It’s a lie’

I've booked the 13th off, so will be doing my best for an all nighter!

I liked the Westminsterenders: Gunpowder, Treason and Plot suggestion for a new thread title from Mockers on the interim thread. Nice and topical - but there again, the thread may well have filled up by tomorrow so it can still be used on the appropriate day

Get a postal vote squid

And thank you for working such long hours, I've done many a 12 hour shift myself. Rotas are always changing!

PMK with borrowed cat.

Actually, the one on the right was busy howling at me for attention BigChoc

I will definitely be voting don't worry about that!! Will probably go at 7 on way in to work though

polling booth is opposite my house very handy!

wow to Dominic Grieve interview. How is this not headlines everywhere

I've booked the 13th off, so will be doing my best for an all nighter!

If you're going to be on here I'll be in my pj's to join you!

Most excellent Squid

It's always hand to know that the postal vote is an option. However it must be done by November 25th.

I'm a bit squeamish about reference to Guy Fawkes and attempts at blowing up Parliament just at the moment. It doesn't feel as funny or historical these days with some of the anti Parliament crap Brexiteers are coming out with.
I know I need to lighten up.

Amazing that Tory ex-Attorney-General Dominic Grieve calls out Tory PM BJ for lying
and on such a vital matter of national security

What so many former Tory ministers and Tory grandees are saying is absolutely unprecedented in a traditionally loyal and stumm party

(Labour left & right tend to sling out insults pretty readily to each other)
