Welcome to The Westminster Arms!

A non-partisan politics pub thread for political chit chat....!!

Please stick within MN talk guidelines - any posts which you think may have crossed the line, please report rather than getting into scraps on thread 😠

Political punch-ups are soooo last decade - ain't nobody got time for that 🥊❌

Be nice! Be respectful!

S'ok to slag off politicians, but not other posters 🍻

Back for a moment.

Just picking up the bit about Lord Dubs' amendment and want to say that I agree. He has devoted much ties and many years to championing the rights of the vulnerable and I hope that some room is found in the Parliamentary timetable for proper consideration.

Thanks HQ Good to know you're around

Ties? I meant times, of course.

Drafted autocorrect!

Copper are you watching? Bit of a car crash so far.

Do you mean the Parliament channel, Hospitality?

Don’t leave walking the fires roaring away and I’m just about to plonk myself down for a large 🍷in the snug - the more the merrier and all that😊

I'll put some drinks on the bar for everyone.

🍷🥃🍺🍹🥂🧉🍷☕️🥛

Ooooh lily, is that a virgin Dmitri? Don’t mind if I do! Thanks!

I’ll need updates on AN, DH will not allow me to commandeer the tv tonight and the conservatory is fecking freezing! 😞

Bad times.

No Lily, Andrew Neil. Oh dear. It's not going well for ET. I bet she wants to 'go home'.

I can rustle up some bar snacks if that will help the conversation to move along too

I’ve snuck it on... 😱

She sounds snippy... 😂

Ahh, Andrew Neil. I'll have to watch it on catch-up...

Thank you, Hospitality.

It’s the smug face isn’t it! 😂

I'll have to watch on catch up too 😩

It's worth watching on catch up Epic

Oooooooh this is A CAR CRASH! 😱

Well, the smell of food and a roaring fire always attracts my attention. I'm not going to read back but park my fine behind on the rocker by the fire - supping my Best and munching my Twiglets.

Ooh what to have from that little line up - I’m gonna neck my wine back and join Epic in a Virgin Dimitri - cheers🍸.

Anyone watching Andrew Neil with guest appearance by ET? I’m running late and still cooking dinner😮 - just wondered if she was running true to form.

Tsk now, seems I can't be all quiet. Helps self to the Cask and throws log on fire.

Seems really we have what is known as a 'constellation' of events. Much as I like a good logic problem, finding links, drawing arrows, inventing charts - currently, I'm going to wait for the minor events to take their course before I try to assess what's happening.

I have to say the Beer is excellent this evening - so I'll force myself to have another before I head out into the night and get home (which thankfully, is just next door).

@DustyDiamond Am currently just outside EU central attempting to disentangle ourselves from the final bits of life in Belgium. Drove to the NL and back today to collect Dh's retirement pressie to himself, and we drive back to the UK and then down to Cornwall over the next two days.

Had a lovely steak Roquefort and friets with a kriek tonight. Yum. Need Belgian courage before tackling the Ring in the morning. Not fun.

Any chance you have a bottle of blood orange Cointreau tucked behind the bar? If so could I have a double please?

For the first time I can believe Brexit is happening, or at least the beginning - it's been a hell of a long wait. At one point I wondered if I would kick the bucket before it happened. So pleased I'm still here

Is anyone going to a Brexit party? I've got a bottle of Tattinger in the fridge for the 31st - hopefully some will be left over to enjoy the next day. Thereafter I shall be drinking English sparkling wine.

being resolutely moderate, Lady Tottingham was not persuasive on andrew Neil.

Scary, that sounds positively sumptuous! The Belgians invented steak-frites and make the best. You'll need to fortify yourself before the Channel crossing so any excuse is a good one. Hope you have a safe journey.
