    The Johnson regime is dead on arrival.

    It's going to be fun watching him escape from this self-created mess....

    Any Conservative relying on any opposition votes to pass anything has a screw loose. As was stated earlier a pile of horse manure with a red rosette on it would be heartily backed by labour, but a Tory cure all of cancer would be the wrong sort! GE to be called for December!

    Why was the vote trailed as being "close" by various bods when it was plain as the day is light the Gov't would get nowhere near if Phil Hammond is abstaining ?

    A fear that some Labour Leaver MPs/MPs in Leave areas might not back the amendment.
    Ah. That old chestnut. The dog which doesn't bark. Merely opens one eye and goes back to sleep.
    If we all had £1 for every time someone on here incorrectly predicted that Labour rebels would rescue Brexit we would all be able to retire to a nice sunny country in the EU from which vantage point to observe the wreckage of the UK.
    Indeed. It was only Hoey today. That is the absolute hardcore.

    Justine Greening would be a good addition to the Lib Dem team.
    We’d take a few others on that list as well.

    What happens if their associations refuse to deselect them or a vote to deselect them is lost?

    Would you suspend the whole association and impose a new pro-Boris candidate or would you allow TBP to stand against them and encourage "loyal" Conservatives to vote for the TBP candidate?

    Good luck with that . Deselecting will see them resign the whip and the Tories are then totally screwed .
    Yup. A sub-Baldrick level of cunning there.

    Boris Johnson repeatedly voted against the Withdrawal Agreement, so looks like he's going to deselected.

    They will be deselected, Grieve and Gyimah have already lost no confidence votes in their Associations. This act will be the final straw, they must be thrown out of the party and replaced with pro Brexit and pro Boris candidates instead

    Labour MP says there are rumours the government may pull the whole NI bill. Speaker says it would be unlikely and he has heard nothing of such. Government ministers in the house shake their heads and confirm no such plan.
  • FF43FF43 Posts: 17,208

    Regarding the attempt to block prorogation, isn't there a very easy work around even if the amendment passes? Simply push back royal assent for the Northern Ireland bill until early November.

    The debate around prorogation is a complete red kipper. Why exactly would Boris want to do so? Or, turning the question round, what is it that the Commons could do that he is supposed to be so scared of?

    - It will be very difficult to pass a Cooper II given the lack of opportunity for MPs to grab control of parliamentary business as they did before;
    - Even if MPs do gain control, a Cooper II cannot necessarily direct the government to request and accept an A50 extension, never mind the EU - Cooper I didn't and only achieved its ends because May was happy to play along;
    - There are not the numbers for a Revoke Act

    So what would proroguing prevent?
    This motion is parliament's shot across the Johnson regime's bows. All governments like to ignore parliament. This says to Johnson, don't try it.

    There is still a place for Hunt supporters prepared to deliver Brexit Deal or No Deal, however for those who voted against the Withdrawal Agreement, voted against No Deal and voted against proroguing Parliament to ensure Brecit there is no place.

    Either they sod off to the LDs or we will have to kick them out.

    At least these people have principles. Unlike the Brexiteers who will crash and burn the economy just to get blue passports and be "free". Completely irresponsible and mad.

    Bebb has deselected himself.

    By that definition you are a traitor. A filthy, despicable, Remain-voting traitor. If you think you are a Conservative, having voted Remain you are very much mistaken.

    Very very sadly you do not get to determine which remainers are and which remainers are not welcome in the Conservative Party. None are. You are a remainer and therefore you are not welcome. It really is that simple. Remainers simply have the wrong mindset to fit in to current Conservative Party policy.

    But not to worry, plenty more parties out there all of which would I'm sure appreciate such a tireless and dedicated foot soldier as you evidently are. Sadly it won't be the Conservatives.
  • ParistondaParistonda Posts: 1,843
    So it seems like the PB consensus is moving against an early election, but with prorogation of Parliament being dealt a big blow here it really seems like a snap election is Boris's only way out. He needs to go to the country ASAP and win a mandate for no deal or go down trying. If October 31 passes he will never be forgiven by his own and will be rebranded as a traitorous remainer in brexiteers clothing. He simply has to Brexit by the 31st and without being able to just shut down parliament he only has the option of challenging Corbyn to an election (who could indeed try and string it out past November but may prefer to just say yes than risk looking frit).

    They will be deselected, Grieve and Gyimah have already lost no confidence votes in their Associations. This act will be the final straw, they must be thrown out of the party and replaced with pro Brexit and pro Boris candidates instead
    So there's now no place in the party for people who are not pro-Brexit and pro-Boris?
    There is still a place for Hunt supporters prepared to deliver Brexit Deal or No Deal, however for those who voted against the Withdrawal Agreement, voted against No Deal and voted agsinst proroguing Parliament to ensure Brecit there is no place.

    Either they did off to the LDs or we will have to kick them out.

    On that front at least we can learn some lessons from Momentum
    No place for remainers either. Off you go sunshine.
    Nope, Remainers who respect democracy and the delivery of Brexit are welcome, those who do not can sod off to the LDs
    Why did you vote Remain, HYUFD?

    Or - "if you don't agree with me on pushing for no deal, bugger off" - I'm not sure that's an election winning strategy. Complete graveyard for the Tories in London and large parts of the commuter land SE, plus Scotland and Wales too.

    I campaigned against the Euro in 2001 and had that been on the table I would have voted Leave, I voted Remain with reservations for the status quo with the opt outs.

    However I respect a majority voted Leave and we must now respect that vote and deliver the Brexit which regains sovereignty and border control and enables global free trade deals as Leavers voted for

    Asking for a non white friend.

    If he starts to criticise (No Deal) Brexit are Brexiteers going to start chanting 'send him home' at him even though he was born in the UK?

    But not to worry, plenty more parties out there all of which would I'm sure appreciate such a tireless and dedicated foot soldier as you evidently are. Sadly it won't be for the Conservatives.

    The way HYUFD instinctively backed Theresa May's European Treaty just shows he is still a diehard Remainer under the skin. True Brexit supporters who respect the will of the people know that you need to be on the lookout for establishment betrayal instead of meekly supporting it.

    Well, it has always been my concern that quasi-fascists would take over the Conservative Party. You are a frothing nutter. A remainer who has had a damascene conversion to the Cult of the Charlatan, and the Death Cult of Brexit. You are to be pitied as a man of very little brain who blindly follows his master to destruction. You are definitely not a Conservative, that is for sure. The real Conservatives will eventually rise again from the ashes that have been generated by fools such as you, but it may be a while.

    So it seems like the PB consensus is moving against an early election, but with prorogation of Parliament being dealt a big blow here it really seems like a snap election is Boris's only way out. He needs to go to the country ASAP and win a mandate for no deal or go down trying. If October 31 passes he will never be forgiven by his own and will be rebranded as a traitorous remainer in brexiteers clothing. He simply has to Brexit by the 31st and without being able to just shut down parliament he only has the option of challenging Corbyn to an election (who could indeed try and string it out past November but may prefer to just say yes than risk looking frit).

    Boris will still try and prorogue Parliament in late October for a November Queen's Speech or else try and call a general election to get a mandate for Brexit yes, with diehard Remainers deselected from the candidates list.

    He will not agree to extend, Parliament will have to VONC him and force an election anyway first

    Soldiers who die for their cause are hailed as heroes. Politicians who die politically for the cause in which they believe are also heroes. You may not agree with them, but they are heroes.

    They are fighting for what they believe to be right, and if some of their so-called leaders had the courage to do that we would not be in the mess that we are.
  • DadgeDadge Posts: 2,052
    Mike isn't considering the fact that several Tory MPs may resign the whip in response to a No Deal Boris premiership. And despite the fact that many Labour MPs dislike Corbyn, they can hardly be seen to support Boris in a VoNC. So I think one is more likely to pass than he suggests.

    I wonder if the sane conservatives, those that voted remain and refuse to support no deal are treated like this on Friday and Saturday constituency events are they told to fuck off and join the lib dems or is it that the vocal few on here really are a minority.

    I don't think you can assume the same majority for VoNC as there was for today's amendment; this was a safe space for MPs to vent their frustrations, something more substantive might not be. If BoJo does not positively request an extension by 23:00 on the 31st October, we're out. I haven't yet seen a plausible mechanism that this House is likely to deliver that stops that. Like David H, I'm not sure today's vote means as much as some people think it does.

    Oh, and HYUFD - breathe. Go sit down, have a cup of tea and a biscuit. Please.

    This proroguing business is a sideshow.
    Boris is going to try for a deal.

    My weighted predix:

    1. VONC & new election or GONU, 40%
    2. No Deal, 30%
    3. Deal, 30%

    As a branch of (1) I think the chances of an election BEFORE October are as high as 25%.

    You're not a Conseravative. You're a confused Liberal Democrat. But don't worry, we Kippers (entryists) are working on it so that you'll be able to join the yellow team and come out and be yourselves.

    If Viceroy is a kipper he is definitely of the kind that has gone off in the post.

    Nope, far better to get rid of the traitors and clean the stables to win back Brexit Party voters
    You know what, I used to think you were just a deluded, gullible, intellectually challenged figure of fun. But when morons like you use phrases such as "traitors" for people that have given a life of service to their party and nation, I realise that you deserve nothing less than contempt. You are a worthless little worm with as much understanding as to what it means to be a Conservative as Jeremy Corbyn. You are completely beneath contempt.

    So it seems like the PB consensus is moving against an early election, but with prorogation of Parliament being dealt a big blow here it really seems like a snap election is Boris's only way out. He needs to go to the country ASAP and win a mandate for no deal or go down trying. If October 31 passes he will never be forgiven by his own and will be rebranded as a traitorous remainer in brexiteers clothing. He simply has to Brexit by the 31st and without being able to just shut down parliament he only has the option of challenging Corbyn to an election (who could indeed try and string it out past November but may prefer to just say yes than risk looking frit).

    Boris will still try and prorogue Parliament in late October for a November Queen's Speech or else try and call a general election to get a mandate for Brexit yes, with diehard Remainers deselected from the candidates list.

    He will not agree to extend, Parliament will have to VONC him and force an election anyway first
    This proroguing business is a sideshow.
    Boris is going to try for a deal.

    My weighted predix:

    1. VONC & new election or GONU, 40%
    2. No Deal, 30%
    3. Deal, 30%

    As a branch of (1) I think the chances of an election BEFORE October are as high as 25%.
    so there is a 25% chance Boris will call an election a week today?

    No Clarke - surprised at that.
    Nor Clark, Gauke, Hammond, S, Stewart or Soames. There are enough One Nation Tories left who haven't sold out (Rudd, Morgan seem to have) to make life difficult for Johnson. They're now (or will be) backbenchers freed from collective responsibility.

    I think there is a decent chance of one being called by September, and delivered before November, yes.

    I don't think you can assume the same majority for VoNC as there was for today's amendment; this was a safe space for MPs to vent their frustrations, something more substantive might not be. If BoJo does not positively request an extension by 23:00 on the 31st October, we're out. I haven't yet seen a plausible mechanism that this House is likely to deliver that stops that. Like David H, I'm not sure today's vote means as much as some people think it does.
    I can't see how Boris survives as PM till 31st October without requesting an extension.

    Behold, what the middle class Remainers and traitor Tory MPs really think of the Tory membership. A bit like the fruitcakes, loonies and closest racists jibe.

    Do keep it up though, it'll make it much easier for us to throw you all out of the party.

    The real litmus tests are seatbelts and smoking. Can you call yourself a conservative if you don't support people's right to drive without a seatbelt and smoke where they like?

    It is OK, I know that twats have infiltrated the Party. The level of debate in it is now indicated the very low IQ that typifies people with your world view. Parties change. The world does. People like you will consign the Conservative Party as was to the dustbin. It will become a cult for morons, so you are welcome to it. Your world view will never prevail though, because it is so intellectually vacuous, and genuine British people laugh at you childish stupidity. You are mocked, and will continue to be. Enjoy your little bit of time in the sun. It will not last.

    Spoken like a true Corbynite.

    You're in the wrong party.
    When Boris wins a landslide next week it will be clear you are if you refuse to accept the Brexit vote, you even voted LD in 2017 so are already almost there
    Meanwhile you are also in the wrong party. It is a leave party and you are a Remainer. They don't want you and your sort. Perhaps the LDs for you? Or Greens?
    I backed the Withdrawal Agreement and I now back Brexit Deal or No Deal on October 31st.

    Remainers who respect democracy are still welcome, those who defy the will of the people are not
    Nah, you are a remainer and hence you are in the wrong party. If you haven't worked that out by now (you indeed have been the most vociferous about it) then you really need to get a clue.

    Nothing to be embarrassed about but the Conservative Party is not the place for remainers like you.
    Give it a rest; we certainly don’t want him pushed in our direction, thanks.
    Oh, I don't know - think of how powerful the combination of LibDem bar-chartery and HYUFD poll-spinning would be.

    Yes, but the two are the same. If parliament is sitting, parliament can find a way to prevent no-deal, changing the rules if necessary. It is sovereign, as the Leavers used to keep telling us it should be.

    So if parliament tells Boris he needs to extend,
    Does he head off to europe and say parliament has asked me to extend but that it is his personal view he doesn't actually want one ?

    What happens if their associations refuse to deselect them or a vote to deselect them is lost?

    Would you suspend the whole association and impose a new pro-Boris candidate or would you allow TBP to stand against them and encourage "loyal" Conservatives to vote for the TBP candidate?


    What a good question.
    Yet another reminder that we can't allow parties and elections to be co-opted by the single issue of Brexit. No-one is learning from May's mistake.
    All Boris needs to do is have a budget with £0 for EU budget - they will throw us out eventually = happened to me with gym membership...

    Oh, and HYUFD - breathe. Go sit down, have a cup of tea and a biscuit. Please.
    Even if we leave with no deal, there is a huge difference with leaving with no deal which our sovereign parliament chooses not to stop, or leaving with no deal after a coup. Both are disasters, but if the elected sovereign body accepts it, the rest of us have to move on, if there has been a coup many would not accept its legitimacy and would forever view those involved as traitors as in guilty of treason against the state (not defying a party whip).

    For many us it is not just where we we end up, but how we get there that is important.
