Icecream Snow 762 Posted October 19, 2022 Though it sounds like that they just didn't turn up, not they they supported the Labour motion. For all the noise and the blustering, looks like no Tories voted for the ban. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MooreMarriot 313 Posted October 19, 2022 It's like a Carry On film : BREAKINGBryant says he saw MPs being physically manhandled Senior Labour MP Chris Bryant has urged the deputy speaker to launch an investigation into "scenes in the voting lobby" in Parliament. Bryant says he saw MPs being "physically manhandled". He accuses government whips - who enforce discipline - of bullying and harassing his Tory colleagues over the vote that has just taken place. Labour MP, the shadow Scottish secretary Ian Murray, tweeted that he had "never seen scenes like it" in the voting lobby. He said he'd seen Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg shouting at his colleagues, whips "screaming at Tories", and "dragging people in". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,541 Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Fair play to this chap👏👏👏 Saying it as it really is. Even astonishing the interviewer.

It's a pantomime, but without the humour. It needs resolving, and quickly, we're starting to make Italy look stable in comparison. I've never in 40 or more years of being politically aware known anything like it. We need leadership, and pronto. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, saying she was a "a repugnant self-serving c**tfuttock with her head up her **** as well" was the TGS diplomatic version for summing up Braverman. Could well hit a lot of birds at once with that stone. Edited October 19, 2022 by TheGunnShow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too little too late. I have thought today that one huge effect of Brexit has been the absolute tearing apart of the Tory party. It has ruined the country and also this appalling administration. No good at all has come from it. It has set in sail a proper malevolent force. Cameron sits behind it all of course. Johnson used it as his vehicle for his act as world king and the ERG nutters to game the country. The party of Brexit has effectively led to it's implosion.

Perhaps invading Islington to stamp out a few senior Labour politicians & assorted others of the anti-growth coalition is more likely 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I utterly hate them for their selfishness and not doing the job for the country. It’s not only damaged our economy but put us so far back that it’ll take years to get back on an even keel! Our businesses are suffering and our pound is plunging, there’s potential for EU to put tariffs on incoming goods and were all supposed to be happy with this lot of dross. They’ve seriously screwed the country for years to come! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
