Nothing is getting passed by this parliament.

It is interesting when you are in the midst of a close one and watching events unfold however the main job is to make no cock ups and make sure everything goes to plan.
In terms of voting, even easier to vote with a postal vote. Just complete and post.
I still think there is a possibility that he might get a non aggression pact with the brexit party if he can pursuade them to take a small enough slice of the cake - eg they stand in the top 20 labour leave seats
Provided he feels he can get a big enough majority to ensure he does not have to rely on farrage votes it would quite suit him I think - especially if he can keep then to around 10 seats or under (possibly even offer farrage a cushy role as a bung)

Is this a ploy by Labour?
And Govt. lost, so now amendments can be added, which is now very possible to scupper the whole thing.
also rumours the government may pull the whole thing if EU nationals are given the vote
Boris is PM and still crying around that someone else isn't delivering brexit. 
i like jess phillips...
"we can alll go ooooooooooohhhhhhh like children"
"we can alll go ooooooooooohhhhhhh like children"
That would make BJ look like a prick. He wants an election, he has to agree to what parliament decides.
Would put an end to his ‘chicken’ rhetoric.
It’s more pathetic as he delayed his own bill.Boris is PM and still crying around that someone else isn't delivering brexit.
Wow Labour backbenchers openly rebelling against Corbyn as he says he's agreeing to an election.
Like riding out to battle as your own army tries to backstab you.

One credit I have to give BJ is his boundless and endless ability to talk lies, bluff and bullshit. He never stops.
‘Great deal’, ‘dither and delay’, etc
Rinse

Day after day

labour arguing among themselves...
Must say i think Johnson is going to crush corbyn if there is a tv debate - cotbyn just does not come over very well

to be fair given how often he voted against blair he really cant be surprised people dont feel obliged to tow the party line because corbyn certainly didnt
with a sprinkling of patriotism
Do people think 16/17 year olds should be allowed to vote? I think the debate is sometimes deliberately overcomplicated. They put tax and NI and so they should be allowed to vote to have a say on how that is spent. Granted it may be a negligible amount, but that isn’t the point.
Listened for five minutes. Can't stand this shit.
Pure Trumpian politics.
Corbyn is bad but Boris is just as bad if he turns up that is. The whole debate will be a shambles and maybe a chance for Swinson to get some more votes.
quite possibly farrage in the mix as well... and possibly sturgeon as well
probably a messy debate - but for sure not a format i see Corbyn doing well in

No I don’t either so maybe a chance for someone to raise their profile like Clegg did in 2011.
Yes.
I'm yet to really hear an argument against it that wouldn't also disenfranchise vast swathes of the electorate.
I think she's brilliant.
If they want U18's to vote, how about putting that on a manifesto and getting elected?
And not saying that the Brexit bill is being rushed (after 3 years), then try to get such a major change done in a day.

If Labour lose the election, I hope that’s the end of Corbyn and we can get a decent electable Labour leader.
Jesse Phillips agrees.

Where is Tom Watson?
4 amendments
1. for a referendum in March
2. EU citizens
3. 16/17 year olds
4. date on 9th
I think the electoral commission said its too short a time period to implement 3
so yeah i suspect that one does not get called but the EU amendment is a separate one and as EU citizens can already vote in local elections (and commonwealth citizens in gerenral elections) there isnt a technical reason it cant be done in the time frame ... so that one could still be selected
At which point probably the government spikes the bill
and then as I say - not sure what next - probably a no confidence motion (followed by an election - probably with out EU citizens voting as there is nobody to pass the legislation unless a GNU is formed )
