• So, following Tuesdays vote, and the EU's polite yet firm 'not on yer nelly, Maybot'....

    whats next?, whats currently going on? has the weather reporting squeezed actual events off the front page or is there just nothing actually happening right now? I think I saw a report that parliament had zero motions tabled for this week or maybe next week despite there needing to be a lot of brexit planning being discussed that just wasn't happening....

    Also they cancels the planned february recess so that MP's could actually be here to do some work right before the crucial deadline, although I also saw it reported that someone important involved in deciding that said that MPs would be in "unless they already had time scheduled to be with their families..." or something like that, so not really.

  • Also they cancels the planned february recess so that MP's could actually be here to do some work right before the crucial deadline

    It's only a one line whip cancellation? Which makes it optional -is that right? If there's any optionality in it, they won't do any Brexit work as they need all their people in to make the numbers.

    We should reset parliamentary language into something people understand. If I'm correct and it was reported that they were 'optionally cancelling they holiday', then that would be much clearer.

  • It's good to know that in a time when we face the greatest crisis the country has faced since WWII, making sure that MPs don't have to cancel their pre-booked holidays is considered more important than making them sort out the mess that they have got this country into. Clearly not losing the deposit on one's skiing holiday in St. Moritz is far more important than trying to make sure that the country isn't plunged into economic chaos in less than 2 months' time. Bunch of wankers.
