am i right in thinking all the amendments have been knocked down so far? edit: 1952 - Princess Elizabeth formally proclaimed herself Queen and Head of the Commonwealth and Defender of the Faith. Lords of the Council, numbering 150, representatives from the Commonwealth and officials from the City of London, including the Lord Mayor and other dignitaries witnessed the accession of the deceased king's eldest daughter

Looke posted:am i right in thinking all the amendments have been knocked down so far? Yup. Kind of annoying that there are a bunch of Labour MP's (Frank Field, Kelvin Hopkins, Graham Stringer, Gisela Stuart, John Mann and a few others) who are voting against every amendment too, including Labour front bench amendments. So far it hasn't been the deciding factor, but with each vote relying on a relatively small number of rebellious Tories it would be infuriating if Labour rebels prevented an amendment from going through. Real questions of the night: Will Clive Lewis resign? Will Diane Abbott vote for Article 50?

OwlFancier posted:What is their justification for that, exactly? They are largely Labour's 'pro-Brexit' contingent and must have bought into the Tory mantra that this bill must not be amended in any way. Plus I recognise a few names, like Frank Field, as being notorious jackasses who oppose Corbyn in everything. Weirdly the Graun is saying the bill has moved to the final part of committee stage so there won't be a vote on the amendment concerning EU nationals? Considering that was one of the ones most likely to pass that's drat strange. EDIT: Forget it, they're just doing things in a weird order.

Can somebody provide me with a comprehensive list of all those amendments Labour won as a result of their Article 50 bill strategy?

I suppose the next course of action is to paint the tories as not being willing to commit to ensuring the best for british workers in their negotiations.

You've been told a million times that Labour has absolutely zero leverage to force Tory MP's to vote for their amendments, and your pathetic counter that they could have done so via 'public pressure' is wilfully ignorant.

What are the chances of the Lords causing a bit of trouble? I'm guessing they won't throw themselves to the wolves by actually blocking it, but are there any rumours of any spoilers going down?

Yes, what Lemondrizzle said - seen comments about concerns about being UNELECTED ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE if they delay it. E: And yes, 7 was the most Tory rebels that I know of. Clarke was the main consistent one, as he was in December.

It was impossible for Labour to be proper opposition in regards to this bill in practice, but it wasn't impossible to be a collective opposition in principle.

LemonDrizzle posted:According to the Guardian, none - there have been so many "we want hard brexit and we want it now" votes in Parliament that the Lords would be unable to justify presenting any meaningful impediment to the bill's passage. Unable according to procedure, or more "they wouldn't!!!"? Given the gravity of this whole thing and the lasting impact they might feel this is a unique situation. And the Tories don't have a majority so there's potential for a meaningful resistance, to force amendments etc. Aside from the Mail and Express having all their heads on pikes by tomorrow evening of course COMMEMORATIVE PULLOUT FOR YOU TO TREASURE FOREVER
