Should the UK remain a member of the EU

[Dr Nowt]

Good to see the Saj is a far more impressive speaker and figure of gravitas than Johnson.

 

The state of this fucking cabinet.

Back to Javid's spending plan for a minute...

Nick Triggle

Health Correspondent

In terms of health and care, there were two eye-catching numbers in the chancellor’s spending announcement - £6.2bn extra for the NHS and £1.5bn for social care.

Neither are quite what they seem. The £6.2bn refers to the extra cash the frontline of the NHS is getting next year as part of the five-year settlement announced a year ago by Theresa May .

What is new, however, is how much extra the rest of health is getting. This is money that goes on the likes of buildings maintenance and training for staff. It is rising by £400m to £9bn. Experts have welcomed the money, but say it comes off the back of cuts in previous years.

In comparison, the social care announcement for councils is genuinely new. Although the £1.5bn includes £500m which will only be raised from a 2% increase in council tax. The County Councils Network says the extra money is just about enough to stand still.

329 to 300. Second defeat for Johnson. 100% record so far.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

As expected the Brexit delay bill has been voted through. 329-300 Yet another stunning defeat for the right wing side of the Tories, relegation form indeed. Onto the next stage now. We'll also have to listen to Johnson bang on about a GE whilst stamping his feet like a good old Tory.

Isn’t that a bigger margin than last night?

Yeah, he's lost another colleague. 

I certainly liked this exchange earlier in the day.........Johnson with a cringworthy reply.

If only more would follow these events in detail and stop following through video snippets and headlines.

This interview is too funny. When the phrase unelected prefaces any insults they have serious contempt for the person,  "unelected foul mouthed oaf". You can do Austerity, demand No Deal and all sorts in your foreign policy but break etiquette and shit is going down. Still good to watch them fighting amongst each other.

Would be exceptionally difficult for this to be a mistake. Government provided no tellers to oppose. Would be extraordinary if not intentional

Boris Johnson calling for an early election;

 

"There is only one way forward for the country," says the prime minister.

"The House has voted repeatedly to leave the EU but it has also voted to delay actually leaving.

"Today, I'm afraid it has voted to scupper any serious negotiations."

"There aren't any," shout opposition MPs
