As requested, I have contacted MNHQ via the contact provided in the deletion message

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 🍻

Just in.

RLB backs self-ID.

Jo Swinson?
Jess Phillips?

Does she have so little insight or just a short memory?

DustyDiamond · 22/01/2020 17:34

Glad the amendments were voted down.
They do not belong in the WA.

Gone are the days of shoehorning everything possible into a fucking withdrawal agreement - thank goodness!

They should be their own legislation, not piggybacked onto something else.

#LaboursNotListening

I'll be very, very disappointed if Lisa Nandy goes the same way 😟

(And also if #StaticStarmer & #LadyHyacinthTottington do too)

Sorry Singing, I didn't get it. Too subtle for me as I am a bit autistic and struggle sometimes with jokes.

I hate it that we have to behave as I feel we are being watched.
But it is better than being deleted.

Large glass of 🍷please. It is nearly 6 o'clock. And please can I warm up a left over sausage butty and settle in by the fire.

SingingLily · 22/01/2020 17:39

Sorry, Copper. It's not you, it's me. It was a really lame joke.

I'll stick to the day job Smile

DustyDiamond · 22/01/2020 17:39

'Oral B' Copper
(was proper dad-joke territory... 😉😂)

SingingLily · 22/01/2020 17:41

Christmas cracker standard too.

I'll cook you a fresh sausage butty to make up for it, Copper.

Coppersulphate · 22/01/2020 17:41

Singing,
Sorry, the joke has just dawned.😀😀😀

DustyDiamond · 22/01/2020 17:45

I've got PMQs paused at the start & there's a good shot of Michael Fabricant & his glorious hair, which made me think of our Michael

Don't think I've seen her on this thread yet 🧐

Hope she's still around 🍷🍷

So do I. Also Limer, scaryteacher and howabout.

Just in...

*All five HoL amendments rejected by the HoC by a margin varying from 86 votes to 103.
*
Back to the HoL for third reading. All on schedule.

EpicIndividual · 22/01/2020 17:55

Do think they haven’t realised there is a new thread?

DustyDiamond · 22/01/2020 18:13

Maybe not Epic

@Limer
@scaryteacher
@howabout
@MichaelFabricantsHair

(Testing to see if you can @ people from a thread they're not on yet.... Confused)

Better than activating a zombie thread to say 'PM'd you hun' like I did the other night 😳😳😂😂

Who else have we left behind?
My mind's gone blank

Coppersulphate · 22/01/2020 18:20

Fortunately we have left behind a lot of flashers. Quite how that was managed I don't know but I am very grateful.

NiceGuyNeddie · 22/01/2020 18:27

So you would behave differently if you didn't feel that?

Fortunately we have left behind a lot of flashers. Quite how that was managed I don't know but I am very grateful

Perhaps because they believed you'd had a stern enough warning to turn over a new leaf? Apparently they're wrong in that belief, going by your use of the term 'flashers'

EpicIndividual · 22/01/2020 18:35

Mine too Dusty, hopefully we can start to remember the names over the course of the evening...

EpicIndividual · 22/01/2020 18:35

Amen Copper. Amen. 😉🙌

BoswellSolver · 22/01/2020 18:36

Apart from Brexitcast, are there any good political podcasts I need in my life?? I never have time to read the papers, so take my news in audible form while I work.

DustyDiamond · 22/01/2020 18:37

So you would behave differently if you didn't feel that?

Sadly, that's the way of things at the mo with respect to GC stuff Neddie 🤷🏻‍♀️

But yes, I would speak much more freely on the topic if it weren't closely monitored from people outwith MN who have an agenda

OP posts:
NiceGuyNeddie · 22/01/2020 18:37

I expect the one's you've remembered will let the others know, get the old gang together again.

EpicIndividual · 22/01/2020 18:37

Oh! Good question Boswell... I have never listened to a podcast in my life. Am I missing out?

DustyDiamond · 22/01/2020 18:38

As for the rest of your post, I'm not wanting this thread to descend into goadiness & another bunfight so I think it's best left there now

OP posts:
BoswellSolver · 22/01/2020 18:39

Um....YES!!! I never touch a household chore without one.
