UK Politics Thread XI: Boris' Big Bombastic Brexit Bash

[Ifreann]

seems like the writers might be seriously considering putting the DUP on team remain for the season 3 finale. very ambitious.

I still think the last episode will reveal that this was all a dream. A terrible, terrible dream.

So Letwin passed. That's got to mean an extension, right?

Not quite.
EU could, and likely won't say anything for a day or two and let this stew to see if anything squeaks out on Monday. If that looks to be a piss about, which it looks like it will be, then the EU might offer us something.
Thing is, last time this happened, we fucked about literally as soon as the EU gave us the extension with the warning not to waste time. EU will be keen to not let that happen again.

The title.....I'm in tears....

Dropping in to say that the thread title is perfect.

Carry on.

This title is a masterpiece.

I'll add to the appreciation of the title. Good work Huskar.

Going to play in the rain for about 5/6 hours, should probably learn as much useful information on Brexit in that time than if I stayed in watching news updates on the subject.
Good luck to you all.

Great title

Awesome title.

Awwww you guys, make a man blush.

Alright, understood.

We will have to see what happens.

Breaking: senior loyalist source tonight says discussions between loyalists/unionists of all backgrounds taken place in past 24 hours - “civil disobedience on a large scale has been discussed, as well as a large rally” to resist Brexit deal. More developments expected next week

His head is buzzing with the song in the title. Or that the title parodies.

There is a big incentive for Johnson to just delay now. If he wants to ensure Brexit, he informally negotiate an extension, wait until the 30th, and then pull out the rug from underneath the Council and not formally move his extension request. At that point, there will be no time to do anything, not even a possibility, and on the 31st, the UK will leave the European Union. In complete contravention of UK law, but that does not matter. UK law does not modify European law, and once out, there will be no opportunity for the UK to get back in easily.

Also if he doesn't he could be arrested.

But do they go DUP DUP DUP? That's the most important question.

The wheels on a bus usually go DUP DUP DUP whenever somebody gets thrown under them.

And its gotta be the London double-decker bus. No other bus can suffice.

The UK. and Spain, examples of how you should not run your government. That is what happens when you vote into political office used car salesmen instead of serious people.

I like how Hammond voted for May's deal three times, but votes against this one which is identical to May's deal except that it gives the UK power to withdraw from the customs union at will rather than being bound to it forever.

Almost as if Hammond was .. in it for his career? :thonk:

How does "we approve the deal but need to make sure we have time to implement it properly" constitute "[voting] against the deal"?

Hammond voted against Boris' deal, not just for Lewis bill.

There hasn't been a vote on the Boris deal. He pulled it after the amendment was approved.
