Betty Boothroyd, sometime Labour MP, and later Speaker, now a member of the House of Lords, lays in to Brexit:


ETA: I now recall that Betty Boothroyd, before she entered politics, was a member of the Tiller Girls dance troupe. There's a joke about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez somewhere to found in that.

Something about bullshit in a china shop goes here.

It's a china factory, not a shop. She was speaking to workers at the new Portmeirion factory in Stoke on Trent: Theresa May gives Brexit speech at Portmeirion in Stoke-on-Trent

Mister Paul Sweeney, MP (Glasgow North East, Labour (Co-op)), will vote tonight and turn thirty tomorrow. He'll have to live with, and suffer the consequences of, this monumental decision for a long time. Glad to have those young career building days behind me.

Plan C: Quit and move to an EU country.

I could not manage the Speakers position but I could def sport that tie! These divisions take a long time don't they. err

 

[Tigger]

May's lost by 230 votes. That is a massive defeat.

eta.

And now Corbyn has gone for the no confidence vote.

 

[Innula Zenovka]

The vote was 432 to 202. Tomorrow the House will be debating a no confidence motion tabled by Labour.

 

[Sid]

A defeat of 230 !!!
Holy moly.

Theresa May’s Brexit Deal Is Crushed by Parliament, Sending Britain Into Uncharted Waters

 

[Sid]

A cabinet that faces such a defeat should step down right away even before a vote of no confidence.
2 years she had time to work out something. 2 Months left. No sign of a solution. That is mismanagement and incompetence and nothing else IMHO.

 

[Arkady Arkright]

YAY !!!!! Lets see how she tries to twist this one...

Wake up, sheeple!
