Sorry, I want double check my understand of the current situation.
The "Bojo has to plead to the EU for an extension while wearing a pink tutu" bill has passed the house and now has to clear the lords.
There's going to be a vote shortly on having an election but Labour and the other opposition parties don't want it right this instant because Bojo could gently caress things up and drag the UK off the no deal cliff. If the bill actually clears the Lords then it's election time.
Tory Lords can try to delay but the House can respond to that.

Anything wrong and/or missing?

If by "gently caress things up" you mean "deliberately switch the election date into November" then yes

This article is fascinating. One para in particular is interesting for what it doesn't say:

NS posted:

But the second and more important consequence is that because the vote passed by default, there is no division list. Even in defeat, the bill risked creating a far more dangerous blow to Boris Johnson than any effort to delay no deal – a positive majority for an alternative Brexit approach. Had 30 or so Labour MPs actually voted for the deal, the path to a plausible and negotiable deal other than that favoured by Johnson would have been clear.


that interpretation is one way to look at it but the other is that by pulling that the lab melts didn't get to raise their flag and have support counted for soft tories by saying 'we will support may's bill and will vote with tories who do'. By succeeding kinnock failed lol. No wonder he was looking shook.

Cards continue to be played close to chest.

I'm torn personally. It would be REALLY loving funny to watch BoJo beg for an extention but the shitshow tonight shows he will use every dirty trick in the book to try and get No Deal. If we ended up crashing out because the extention bill wasn't as watertight as we thought it would be a tragedy.

Accusing BoJo of lying. It was before he was PM so it's not contempt per-se but pretty close to it.

I dunno if the stream skipped, but it almost sounds like Bercow ensured the last words of the debate were Russell-Moyle saying "the prime minister allegedly lied twice".

Various lords have apparently proposed over a hundred different amendments to the bill, all of which have to be discussed and voted upon, so it's an attempt to drag it out until parliament is closed down next week.

A closure motion on each amendment which reduces it to 30 minutes an amendment (no debate, only voting)...this means everyone needs to stay awake and present

There's others, but this is my favourite:

An Act for the Abolishing the House of Peers posted:

The Commons of England assembled in Parliament, finding by too long experience, that the House of Lords is useless and dangerous to the People of England to be continued, have thought fit to Ordain and Enact, and be it Ordained and Enacted by this present Parliament, and by the Authority of the same, That from henceforth the House of Lords in Parliament, shall be and is hereby wholly abolished and taken away; And that the Lords shall not from henceforth meet or sit in the said House called The Lords House, or in any other House or Place whatsoever, as a House of Lords; nor shall Sit, Vote, Advise, Adjudge, or Determine of any matter or thing whatsoever, as a House of Lords in Parliament: Nevertheless it is hereby Declared, That neither such Lords as have demeaned themselves with Honor, Courage and Fidelity to the Commonwealth, nor their Posterities who shall continue so, shall be excluded from the Publique Councils of the Nation, but shall be admitted thereunto, and have their Free Vote in Parliament, if they shall be thereunto elected, as other persons of Interest elected and qualified thereunto, ought to have.

Otherwise to have no Priviledge.

And be it further Ordained and Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That no Peer of this Land, not being Elected, Qualified, and sitting in Parliament as aforesaid, shall claim, have or make use of any priviledge of Parliament, either in relation to his Person, Quality or Estate, Any Law, Usage or Custom to the contrary notwithstanding.
