Pull me out

There's been talk of Tory peers filibustering in the Lords, but apparently it's a non-starter? I don't know enough about the process to understand why it won't work, can anyone help?

They've paused momentarily to see what's happening in the commons basically and if an election is agreed the filibuster is off but it's still a bit vague.

It's definately not been cancelled as far as we know, only postponed at the moment

He said the tories are hosed in any election, if even Ruth Davies can't stomach Boris.

And now the SNP is droning on about independence of course.

He said that Scottish Tories voting for an early elections would be like turkeys voting for Christmas.

E: SNP also saying elections after extension only.

It either literally does nothing (Commons clerk was saying she doesn't even understand how it's supposed to work), or does something utterly pointless (make it so the extension is asked for on the basis of passing the amended May deal, but doesn't mean the May deal has to pass or even be voted on).

I'm still trying to understand but apparently it doesn't actually change anything so is irrelevant really, which seems appropriate.

Yeah, many do it, but in her case it's coupled with a 'why the gently caress are you here?' vibe.

So wait, the Tories want to call for an election without extending the Brexit deadline as a stall tactic, am I understanding that correctly? And the opposition is saying "let's extend the deadline first, THEN have an election"?
