Now I'm not majorly into the inner workings of politics so don't understand really why everything's kicked off big style. Anyone care to explain in council terms for me please.
 
In council terms... :unsure:

It's basically like if someone told you who Bigfoot was on Masked Singer before you had chance to watch, and now there's no point in watching. And then you find out it might be that they only knew who Bigfoot was because they threatened to get Joel Dommett sacked if he didn't let them peep backstage.

Depressingly that makes sense 🤣🤣🤣
 
Esenpeé invited her sisters Layla and Torie, their mam Lindsay, and all their mates down the Westminny for a big night out and a back tattoo reveal. They're all sh*tfaced. Layla and Torie have said they both want to make announcements too. Their mams taken charge and said Layla may go first. Laylas only gone and revealed a back tattoo.

Esenpeés ran in the toilets crying cause it was meant to be her big night and Torie stood at the bar fuming for a while fuming saying it goes against the girlcode of the Westminny - which is rubbish since she phoned in a fake bomb threat 3 christmasses ago and the police came and emptied the place.

Then one of their mates overheard Layla whispering that she made her mam pick her to go first by threatening to send her to a care home. Now its all gone a bit eastenders and Esenpeé and Torie are stood shouting you aint my mavvaaa! The funny thing is all their back tattoos are transfers anyway... 🤷‍♂️

A bit like on Friends when Chandler and Monica got engaged and everything was meant to be about them and then Rachel and Ross kissed and then everything was about them.

Obviously with the exception that Friends is a fictional sitcom and this was supposed to be a debate in real life about finding a solution to the atrocities that are happening in the Middle East!!!

Don’t yer just love democracy!!!
 
On a small Island far far away
A group of people with egos the size of planets were pretending to be serious about something.

It turns out the only thing they were serious about was getting 1 up on each other.
Some achieved that and some didn’t.
Those that did got all cocky and those that didn’t got grumpy.

They will all try again soon.

Netflix will get the franchise

There’s a fair amount of truth in that as always when there’s a row in Parliament. But underneath it, this is still akin to a referee openly allowing a team to punch in the last-minute winner because the other team has been time wasting. Not his place to do. Ultimately, you need the referee to apply the rules or the system breaks down.

In the trivial world of football, and so much more in the more serious world of Constitutional politics. Treating the rules as optional leads at best to anarchy. I do think this one does, or should, transcend the partisan stuff a little. Even the speaker himself appeared to concede last night it was a catastrophic error of judgement.

this. With talk that he was basically pressured into doing so by having the threat made of support being withdrawn after the election if he didn't
 
What was ultimately achieved yesterday?
One thing only, the removal of 'collective punishment' from the motion.
Job done.
