Holy fucking shit. May saying people had the opportunity to back a second ref in 2017 by voting for the LDs.
Hardest I've laughed all day.

Honestly it's stuff like this that makes it difficult to watch this.

The biggest political moments in this country since the war, and the PM is making pissy, shitty comments like this to chortles and laughter by this rabble of fucking cunts.

Yep, watching this or really time you watch anything for parliament you realise how embarrassing it is. More about petty jabs and attacks than anything else.

Corbyn is the only major party leader in 45 years to argue against the neoliberal system Britain's been reeling under.

A vote against Corbyn's Labour is a vote for poverty and inequality.

Theresa May should take a long walk(ing holiday)

During which she goes and fucks herself.

(Because I doubt Phillip can).

I don't flinch at using the above language because she has lied to much during her final remarks right now. She should be ashamed...but Tories don't know the meaning of the word.

Conservative policy has made the UK distinctively worse over the last 8-9 years. People have died in appalling and depressing circumstances, the country is poorer in many respects, and only now are they quietly trying to sweep the mistakes under the rug. The Tories have to go, and I'd take a flawed Labour leader who moved the party back to the left*, rather than let the Conservative party continue their ideological crusade of harm by holding out for someone more electable.

*this is not implicit support for Corbyn, but he's better than some give him credit for, and history has proved him right in steering the party away from austerity.

Now they need to open their fucking eyes and reconsider what exactly that uniformed, illegally campaigned, non-binding advisory vote actually represents.

I mean this is how I feel watching parliament on any given day. A lot of rich landlords braying. We need a massive overhaul of our political system.

Based on his performance, regardless of his intentions, it is a vote for a bungler. I can't really say that he'd achieve anything.

Only one amendment being voted on: Adding the unilateral power for the UK to end the backstop.

Totally meaningless.

The Meaningful Vote should be in ~20 minutes.

Are they really calling votes on which side can make more noise?
What's wrong with that? Quicker than doing a vote every time.

If one bloke shouts yay, and the rest of the house nay, why bother sending 650 people to vote?

What does pulling the amendments mean? Hard to keep up with the jargon.

Amendments are tabled in advance. The speaker can then select all, some, or none of those amendments. Those selected amendments then need to be moved to a vote.

In this case, 11 amendments were tabled, 4 selected, and the first 3 were declined to be moved.

Tactics. Makes it a clean kill on May's deal.

It's a strange amendment to vote on, since if passed it would overrule a key tenant of the withdrawal agreement which the house is due to vote on..... Which the EU would never accept
