Argue in circles about British politics thread
It’s not really a new deal. It’s May’s deal with the Irish backstop amended, to the DUPs detriment.
They, labour and the remainers are all backed up against the wall.
Just get on with it!

Responding to the passing of the Letwin amendment, Johnson says on ITV news,
" Wee, weee weeee weeee weeeeee weee"
Which translates to - I refuse to ask the EU for an extension.
All the squealing piglet can do is sound like a broken fucking record.
He's got until 11 pm bst to change his tune and send the letter requesting an extension. Or...

Dear Mr Johnson,
Thank you for you letter(s) dated 19/10/2019 requesting an extension to Article 50. I noticed you forgot to sign it, and I found that an extremely childish thing to do. I am returning your letter so that you can sign it and show Mr Macron, the French and the rest of the EU 27 members, whom you say you both respect and admire; the British public, and the rest of the world, what a SURRENDER MONKEY and COMPLETE FUCKING CLOWN you are.
Yours sincerely,
Donald Tusk

Freedom is not a state. It is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau.. Freedom is a continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.-John Lewis

Nice one.
An extension lead as depicted is a perfect BREXIT metaphor. The lead leaves the main body and goes round and round and round before ending up where it started.

Don't take it out on me because you've run out of weed videos.

I never watched Game of Thrones, but I suspect BREXIT is infinitely more entertaining.

There were two pieces of received wisdom about the vote on the first Saturday sitting of parliament since 1982 - one factual, one political.
The first was that the government "pulled the vote" after they lost the Letwin amendment, which dictated that the PM's deal could not be authorised until all associated Brexit-related legislation is passed.
The other was that nothing was decided, that it was a damp squib.
Both things are untrue.
Instead, the Commons did take a decision and the vote was not pulled. After the Letwin amendment passed, the government effectively chose not to contest the main motion. So the whole thing simply went through on the nod.
That itself was the decision the Commons took. It means that although Jacob Rees-Mogg has announced the government wants to bring back a vote on the deal later today, in all likelihood they will not be able to.
The Speaker will almost certainly rule the idea out of order because the House cannot consider the same issue twice in one session, and to do so would expressly contradict the Letwin amendment.
And so the only way for the government to get its deal through is via that legislation, namely the Withdrawal Agreement Bill (WAB)
...
What could explode the government's game-plan is an amendment on a customs union, something which attracts support across the House of Commons (which came very close to passing during the indicative votes process earlier in the year) and cuts right across government policy.

Will the UK still be allowed in the Eurovision Song Contest?
I feel we should at least have a chance to regain our success we had with Bucks Fizz.
