Was just getting interested in the Spelman amendment until i saw this on grauniad :

 

Quote

I. Spelman no-deal amendment


Tabled by the longstanding Tory MP and former environment minister Caroline Spelman, with the backing of more than 115 MPs from various parties, this states that the UK will not leave the EU without a deal. It is only advisory and has no legislative force.

 

 

ffs.

The problem is the Tories, that's the real alpha and omega of the problem.   The referendum was called to quash the infighting that's riddled it for decades. Both leave and remain were front

I was thinking about this overnight. What I'm about to write may not find favour, but I also have a little bit of sympathy for Tommy Mair. He's done something heinous, and will pay for it, but did it

The default position for all of the cult members; defend Corbyn's honour first and foremost, usually with the aid of sarcasm.

Or realise that if a 3 line whip has been applied and then ignored, then there's very little that can be done by the party leader to change that fact, other than sack anybody (after the fact) who is a shadow cabinet member who went against the whip. 

 

That applies be it May, Corbyn, Lucas, Robertson or that arl bloke in charge of the Lib Dems.

I've always been against cults, disgusting things that are the cause of a lot of the ills of the world.

 

...but then I found the Corbyn cult and now I'm always happy. So stop being mean.

Remember all, the referendum was only advisory! So it doesn't have to happen. Let us back in the EU! I don't want to be ruled by Cuntservatives, I want to be ruled by whatever corporations the EU has lobbied with. Down with government and up with corporations, they know what's best and that's why we're not leaving.

 

Advisory! Come on May, let's march back to the EU headquarters and tell them we love them.

Donald Tusk: Withdrawal Agreement is not open for renegotiation

The European Council president reacts to events in the Commons

“We welcome and share the UK Parliament's ambition to avoid a no-deal scenario," says a spokesman for Donald Tusk.

"We continue to urge the UK government to clarify its intentions with respect to its next steps as soon as possible.

"The Withdrawal Agreement is and remains the best and only way to ensure an orderly withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

"The backstop is part of the Withdrawal Agreement, and the Withdrawal Agreement is not open for re-negotiation.

"The December European Council Conclusions are very clear on this point.

"If the UK's intentions for the future partnership were to evolve, the EU would be prepared to reconsider its offer and adjust the content and the level of ambition of the political declaration, whilst respecting its established principles.

"Should there be a UK reasoned request for an extension, the EU27 would stand ready to consider it and decide by unanimity.

"The EU27 will adopt this decision, taking into account the reasons for and duration of a possible extension, as well as the need to ensure the functioning of the EU institutions.

"We will continue our preparations for all outcomes, including a no-deal scenario. We will also continue the EU´s process of ratification of the agreement reached with the UK government."

I'm currently arranging a smuggling operation to get HP sauce into the UK from the Netherlands. Starting April. Anyone in? 

Only if I can have a little trip to Giethoorn as part of the plot. 

 

In other news, oh, Dennis. Tut, tut...

This is clearly set up so when the EU tell her to fuck off trying to renegotiate the deal she can blame them for no deal. And all the press will back her up and shift the blame to the EU.

 

I see Dennis Skinner voted with the Tories yet again. Never mind eh, he’ll call one of them a tosser next week and be hero worshipped.
