[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

In his briefing Mark Francois, chair of the European Research Group, said the ERG and the other four rightwing Tory groups had decided to reserve the right to vote against the bill at third reading if it does not get amended to their satisfaction.

......Andrew Bridgen (no longer a conservative MP) lingering behind Mark Francois at the 'New Conservative' announcement.

That one totally passed me by. See he went over to Reclaim.

In turn causing several other MPs to rebel and Rwanda themselves to pull out of the deal

Indeed, once they've pulled out, I'm sure Zimbabwe would be willing to accommodate being paid hundreds of millions of pounds for doing nothing...

 

[TomandJerry]

The Labour amendment has been defeated, by 337 votes to 269 – a government majority of 68.

MPs are now voting on the main motion – that the bill be read a second time.

f*** it, they can all come and stay in my flat for a while if I’m getting paid £1bn for the privilege

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'm unsure whether I want to see this unworkable bill passed, and fail, or see it fail to pass, and Sunak forced into an early election.

Its the second one, isn't it. Yes.

He was at the back chatting with Jake Berry ... Sorry SIR Jake Berry. Knighted for services to one of Johnson's staff.

Want this to fail so we will get an election

Did I read that one of the other four groups are called the Common Sense Group?!

That’s irony finished then.

Five families? What's that then? Sounds like a load of old bollocks.

The government has won by 313 votes to 269 – a majority of 44.

Turkeys decide at the last minute to not vote for Christmas.

A drove would be a suitable collective noun for them.

 

[Pavilionaire]

So we've recalled our Climate Change Minister from the culmination of a crucial global COP28 meeting so that he could contribute to a vote that the Government won with a comfortable majority of 44.

What a f*cking shambles.

Apparently he is going to fly back after the vote, nice and green!
