Gemmill 34422 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 27 minutes ago, Rayvin said: SNP slamming Labour MPs now for considering voting for the deal. EDIT - There seems to be some serious concern that a significant number of Labour MPs might go that way actually... surely not? Nandy has said she doesn't think she will. Melanie Onn has been tweeting about "which donkey will I be pinning the tail on" if she backs the deal. I think May being terrible at politics and announcing her resignation has made it much more difficult for Labour to support it. Flint and a few others will support it but Piero was up bellowing at the govt benches earlier so suspect she won't, unless thst was just grandstanding. Geoffrey Cox btw. What a fucking cunt.

Rayvin 4964 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) At this point, surely any Labour MP that votes for this deal, in full knowledge that it probably means Boris Johnson as PM, has to be kicked to the curb at the next election. Anyway, if the DUP are voting it down alongside what, about 30 ERG extremists? So she'd need something like the same number of Labour rebels. I think that would be completely unforgivable from Labour. Edited March 29, 2019 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Because of course they are. So if we avoid this, it will be through the sheer incompetence of the diehard ERGs. The whole thing is just ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc Ian snr said the EU was a papist conspiracy or some such nonsense, which is another reason they gambled on it. Will they suffer electorally at the hands of more moderate unionists, I wonder?

Gemmill 34422 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Yeah I'm increasingly convinced that May is fucked again. What a fucking disgrace this has been today though. A brazen attempt to hoodwink Parliament into an enforced choice between her deal and no deal. Fucking outrageous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Today is the political equivalent of transfer deadline day. Nothing to see here. May will be crushed again, year extension, new Tory leader, the Autumn GE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
