Lots of Tories not back in the chamber. Rumours they found a poor person to kick are as yet unproven.

The "Sikh guy" is a Labour MP.

Doesn't he have an assigned seat or something so he has to stand around all the time? (I don't know how UK parliament works exactly)

Finally caught up with the thread, loving hell.

I'm not allowing myself to be optimistic though, I've been burned too many times before thinking Brexit was maybe not going to happen.

Oh poo poo ayes have it. Is that an increased majority?

Cook the day before, eat cake, go for a walk, worry about nothing, reflect, read, play board games with your kids, have sex not with your kids, sleep and wake up ready to fight the good fight on Monday.

I remember reading a theory that this is why Euro (German) boardgames became such a big thing. In protestant Germany, taking the day to do all the respectful of god stuff, boardgames were something that was allowed by most adherents. So being one of the things allowed it just grew and grew.

That makes sense, and they're often cooperative or byzantine enough that nobody could consider them gambling, unlike cards or dominoes.

To add to this, they reserve seats by placing prayer cards on them at the start of the day.

Yeah if you're a backbencher and want a seat you have to get up at 6am, write your name on a prayer card, and stick it in the little holders behind the seats. If you're just too lazy then you can sit on the steps. It is a system befitting a modern democracy in 2019.

Didn't the SNP try for his seat after they returned a load of MPs and there was a bit of a battle for it at one point, maybe not his in particular but the entire 'awkward squad' area.

MPs can send a lackey to post the prayer card instead of doing it themselves.

Like everything else under this unwritten system, it is, because look at what happens when anyone else tries to site there.
