snowychap Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 @Vive_La_Villa, The serious answer is Bickster's above. We've had far too many of these bloody speeches on the steps of No 10 from behind a lectern. Someone in Downing Street should do us all a favour and smash the **** thing up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Not totally sure of the Order of Play today. Parliament doesn't kick off until 2:30pm so I'm not sure when we will know what motions are going to be laid and when. The Court of Session case begins this morning (10am, I think?).

snowychap Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Given the possibility that this whole thing might end up with some sort of election soon then making sure that people are properly registered is important: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the noises he is still going to fit a) being the tory rep; and b) likely to stand in any event. Whilst a couple have already announced they are standing down, it is going to get messy if they try force more out. I did find it amusing, that the BBC Radio 5 Live presenter today basically grilled Raab pointing out that the government themselves are the cause of losing their majority if they kick out the rebels.

I think the subsequent posts from Wallace suggested that it would be like trying to select a non-member as the candidate and that: I agree with you about the Tory infighting.. I do think that it's a real problem for the Tories that a non-member (Cummings) seems to be not only trying to run Government policy but also trying to run the internal Tory party.
