OwlFancier posted:I still think a second referendum is a stupid idea but at this point it's looking like the least stupid stupid idea out of a big pile of stupid ideas. No Deal is even worse than people thought. There's eight vital IT systems required to manage imports and exports; six of them are not working, and it is not possible to get them working in four weeks.

Aramoro posted:That's the beauty of the Glasgow solution to knife crime, tough sentences are still part of it. Everyone is happy. Well except those looking to profit off the panic. I thought the Glasgow solution to knife crime was to use your head instead. Regarding the universal state of police officers being born outside wedlock: a properly funded and supported police force has less incentive to corruption.

Andrast posted:What is the point of abstaining on a bill? Two reasons. For an individual, it's that you don't agree with the party line, but you're not going to vote with the other side. When a party whips for abstention, it usually means that they know the bill is going to pass regardless but they want to make sure none of their MPs support it. I don't recall anyone ever being censured for breaking a whip to abstain by voting against the motion.

jabby posted:Probably because they started off as very simple 'is this fact correct' articles, but then morphed into opinion pieces complete with political bias under the heading of 'FACT-CHECK'. When the country is run by the Lying Party of Lying Liars and the president lies on average ten times a day, it's a bit hard not to have a bit of bias in a fact check.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Assuming it's true that Kuenssberg (or someone above her) is deliberately misinterpreting 'balanced coverage' as 'get a tory on, and get a far right mouthpiece on, and exclude labour,' then why aren't the press office pursuing it? The matter has been referred to Ofcom, who are investigating the BBC right now for bias. I expect the Labour press office aren't making a big stink in public so that nobody can say they prejudiced the investigation.

thespaceinvader posted:In theory the second vote failing should mean the third vote succeeds because they JUST VOTED THAT IT FAILING WAS NOT AN OPTION. If a binding vote to block a No Deal Brexit passes then that would overrule the EU Withdrawal Act. The third vote will be on whether we ask for an extension or revoke Article 50.

Darth Walrus posted:IIRC, we already had one vote on no deal and it was rejected by something silly like 500 to 33. This one will probably work out similarly. It's just a purity test for the ERG, not something we seriously want to worry about. The amendment to the EU Withdrawal Act that would have prevented us leaving without a deal failed thanks to the votes of Hoey, Field, Springer and Mann.

Tesseraction posted:Just want to go back and highlight this brighter news because if you read the fine print it specifically says profits are down despite sales going up. How do you square that circle? Surrounding paragraphs note that he's changed his supply chains to avoid EU products, meaning the profit fall is due to his brexiteering views tanking the business. Also labour costs are cited. So he's doubly tanking his own business by having to pay British staff instead of getting in a bunch of Romanians. On the other hand, the Wetherspoons oval office strikes me as the type to say it's an acceptable loss to have Real British Service again.
