Just bumped into Corbyn in Nandos House and said let's do Hard Brexit, horrified aides bundled him away.

Hearing that Rory has done a pre-emptive "gently caress this poo poo" and put his 2 weeks in before they take the whip. Source is Reddit so could be a bunch of arse.

buddy I don't know how much attention you've been paying recently but we just won a pretty significant victory against the government, like less than a loving hour ago

assuming all the rebels will fall back in line tomorrow for ~reasons~ is pretty good evidence of incurable brainworms on your part

My friend can't you see it isn't over yet? Until we know for certain, there is always a chance some of them will vote with the government.

He was apparently at a GQ awards dinner & said that he's not going to be allowed to stand in the next election because he's lost the whip. (Technically he could, but it'd be as an independent)

Mark Spencer, the chief whip, has been ringing the Tory rebels telling them they are having the whip withdrawn, we’ve been told. Philip Hammond, the former chancellor, has already had the call. As of now, he is technically no longer a Conservative MP.

can this be the dramatic montage music of the mps having their whip withdrawn in the inevitable tv movie?

I'm looking forward to The Pfeffel going to the EU and vetoing his own countries vote/submission/movement.

Unless the BBC was hugely misrepresenting something earlier, the EU actually thought of this and made it so that a country can't veto their own extension (the whole mechanism is part of A50 and the exclusion is built in)

If Corbs gets in they ought to introduce some basic rules for MP selection; don't just reform Labour, reform Paliament - local parties can't be forced to take a candidate, there's always a realistic way for local parties to reject their current MPs so we don't get stuck with terrible ones, plus something about how party leaders are elected (so the full party membership always have a wide choice).
