The 2019 General Election

[Marty1]

Dominic Grieve and rebel Tories write to EU demanding EIGHT-MONTH Brexit delay

8 months

 

[SpackleFrog]

I'm not expressing an opinion on the bet, one way or another.

But if your calculation about the likelihood of a minority Tory government includes an assumption that neither the DUP nor the LibDems would enter into a coalition or even a confidence and supply arrangement with the Tories, as you appear to me to be doing, I think that assumption is open to question.

Yeah, it's open to question, not denying that. But it's 9/2, not evens.

even better cricket isn't a sport

I'll let you tell Stokes that to his face.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

Not sure when the fuckers prorogue off, but Bercow presumably returns to the back benchers for about a day or so before that. Wonder where he'll sit? Don't really, but I do like the idea of tory backbanchers tripping him up and flicking his ears. They'll probably make him sit with the Chunks, the ultimate humiliation.

Five more years.

that's a long Brexit extension!

 

[brogdale]

We've got the MEPs in place already...

 

[chilango]

By the way, does this mean we don't want England to win the rugby world cup now?

Never did. They are the class enemy.

17 of the England squad heading to South Africa went to fee-paying schools.

 

[SpackleFrog]

I'll let you tell Stokes that to his face.

Hey, if you're happy to call Tuilagi and Vunipola fat cunts to their faces then I'm quite happy to discuss what is and isn't a sport with Stokes.

 

[SpackleFrog]

Never did. They are the class enemy.

I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you about the South Africa team.

 

[brogdale]

Never did. They are the class enemy.

"...heading to South Africa..."

 

[chilango]

"...heading to South Africa..."

Like I know where the so-called World Cup of a Public School sport is.

You do, really

 

[moochedit]

Fucking cunts cost me £4 on exchanging my holiday money by calling the election when they did yesterday

That's quite a crash you caused! how much did you exchange?

'World Series' = Septics and a couple of Canucks.

Given the number of MPs keen to avoid contact with the electorate I’m guessing there are going to be a lot of seats without candidates.

Does anyone know a) when the candidate has to be officially nominated by and b) how Labour will fill these? I’m assuming the reselection process has to be abandoned now?

I’m asking because my MP - Roger Godsiff - was subject to challenge

triggers were suspended yesterday, but the NEC is still deciding on him and a couple of others (including Williamson and Vaz). Next meeting is due next Wednesday, but I bet that will change.

Any bets on the new speaker? That's going ahead this week we're told

Saw a snippet of Parliament TV yesterday at the point where Eleanor Laing had taken the chair for a bit; she didn't seem to know what was going on at all. Reckon I could have done as well had I been plonked down in the Speakers chair at that point.

Ta. I presume/hope they bin the twat. In the event they do do they choose the replacement or does the local CLP?

 

[Wilf]

Whoever it is they should plonk a microphone in front of them on a table and call the MPs up to speak bingo style:

- He got drugs for some lads, it's Keith Vaz
- Mad as a Hatstand, it's Edward Miliband
- Erm, it's just Jeremy Hunt

Is that a coded message that Theresa May is being lined up for the job?

 

[sunnysidedown]

I read that as Roger Godstiff.

 

[Sprocket.]

Will there be new deputy speakers to be appointed as well. I ask as our current MP Rosie Winterton might actually have to vote on something in the near future, if re-elected.

Erections of Grandeur.

Probably the former. They could let the CLP choose but it's unlikely.

I'm guessing Lindsay Hoyle.
