Brexit mega thread : part 9 : Winter is Coming

[Chevyimpala67]

Part 10 of our long running thread.

Not sure what to say, really, other than it is worse than I feared.

Strap in, folks. It's gonna be a rough ride...

I gave up drinking a while ago. Might start again.

Although probably can't afford it

I have now worked for the NHS for a couple of months.

So many people with complex chronic conditions. And there would never be enough staff to keep up.

There is a Youtube video put out by the FT today that is an excellent summary of the Brexit mess that is worth a watch. Old timers from Westminsterenders will probably spot aspects that the FT has missed or problems that haven;'t emerged yet.

2 mps dating they won't abide by the 3 line whip...

2 more cabinet ministers on resignation watch apparently

Chris Skidmore and Tracey Crouch against the whip

Badenoch and Malthouse on resignation watch

Grant Shapps in one of the Highest Offices of State.

Oh the joys . Will this latest one be able to cope? No

Add Angela Richardson to the voting against the whip.

Sorry - meant paras 2, 3 and 4 of Suella's letter

Only appointed to get him off the back benches where he has been causing trouble (as he promised he would)

Will only be for a couple of weeks probably.

How much damage can they do in that time. Oh! Quite a significant amount probably.

Was Grant Schapps the one who paid for the non existent ferries? Bit dodgy on his geography? Really can’t see any problem with him as Home Secretary.

Whips resigning now.

Chief whip and deputy gone

here ..

I'm not making this shit up.

.

He’s the one with all the business aliases which he denied were him. I see no problem with that either.

Apparently Truss was so busy dealing with the Chief Whip resignation that she missed the vote tonight

Charles Walker not mincing his words to the BBC here.

Really looking like I’m going to win that bet with my aunt considerably before Christmas….
