I've never been to the UK but I understand that passports being brown instead of blue was some sort of breaking point.

Trump bootlicker and all round toad Nigel Farage made his final flourish before the vote a venom spitting monologue about how the first words at the top of a British Passport were "European Union" and here we are two and a half years later

Ian Blackford of the SNP just gave an impassioned speech arguing for Scottish Independence on the floor of parliament, following this development from yesterday

https://twitter.com/GradySNP/status/1105261032786796544?s=19

Everyone who isn't Scottish is completely ignoring it

The Speaker didn't select any amendments for tonight's vote so it's just pandering to the ScotNats

The Chair might not select an amendment if it:

was late

doesn’t make sense and/or would make a nonsense of all or part of the bill (sometimes called wrecking the bill)

has been tabled to the wrong bit of the bill

is vague

is outside the scope (the subject matter) of the bill, or the clause or schedule

would involve spending money that has not authorised by a money resolution

reopens an issue that has already been covered in depth

iirc the last Queen's Speech there was a controversy of it being a 2 year speech instead of 1 so May didn't have to endure a failure of a QS not passing mid Brexit negotiations in June 2018. Her maj basically owes us a proroguement and re-opening so May could call it in

i'm going full hellworld where the queen prorogues parliament and then keels over before she can reopen it, enforcing a 12 day period of official mourning. The Brexit deadline is in 11 days.
