She keeps living down to your expectations eh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was that Public Bills can be carried over between sessions and that they don't necessarily fall. There's a bit of a parallel, isn't there - the default being that they fall, unless..... and no one really thinks it's a good idea, apart from the desperate tories - A bit like Brexit. then.

She's not acting in the interests of the country. She's acting in the interests of herself and the bits of the Tory party keeping her in place. She'll do whatever is best for her in any coming scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't pass, it just says it is highly likely that the European Council would require a clear purpose (which they obviously won't have by then as they booted the indicative votes amendment) and that any extension beyond that which they have agree to seek would require EP elections to be held. It doesn't say, I don't think, that they would actually seek to agree a longer extension. This point has just been put by Caroline Johnson (Tory MP) during an intervention on Kier Starmer in the emergency debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) 14 minutes ago, StefanAVFC said: 9 days until Brexit Yes. It's almost as though she has decided to ignore what was suggested by Lidington in the debate on the extension motion, to rely on the fact that it was 'conditional on there being a vote' and has half-heartedly sought an extension by making sure that she's asked for a date that they have already rejected. May is to apparently 'speak to the notion' later. Everyone expecting something earth-shattering but it will probably be the same mix of blather and lies that she usually comes out with.

desensitized43 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Can someone summarise what's actually happened today? Seeing lots of stuff on twitter about some sort of 'announcement' later? What's changed in the 2 hours since the evil witch was at PMQs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Tusk making a statement now. Says that he thinks that an extension will be possible but it will be conditional upon the withdrawal agreement passing in the House of Commons.
