Now... I don't want to say that I want to see Joris Bonson flagrantly violate Parliament's will but the idea of a Prime Minister actually getting the sack from the Queen is so absolutely buckwild that... I at least want a viewing portal into a reality where that happens.

Unfortunately the only source for this seems to be speculation from Grieve in that link:quote:Dominic Grieve has said Boris Johnson could be “dismissed” by the Queen if he fails to abide by the Benn Act and ask the EU for a Brexit extension by the date the law demands. E: I can only assume that this is some sort of early birthday present for Ms. A from her good friend and patron, Slaanesh. Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Oct 1, 2019 |

Oh lord I'm not sure I can take another month. Saying that, what even is happening in parliament right now? Are they doing stuff or waiting for the Tory conference to be over? When do we get to see Boris attempt another PMQs, fail miserably and the guardian to call it a draw??

Just a reminder: Brenda's grandfather told the House of Lords if they didn't give up the veto he'd just spam new Lords until they did so. I mention this because I'm a historian of the Edwardian era and it's always amused me how badly the Tories read the room about the People's Budget.

The British Left won in a landslide in 1906 because Balfour decided to be too clever by half and let Campbell-Bannerman into No. 10 in the hopes the Radicals and the Liberal Imperialists would destroy each other in a minority government. Parliamentary Labour might owe its existence to Balfour's bad judgement because they were carried into office alongside the Liberals, going from a two MPs to 29.

In fairness to Balfour he couldn't really have predicted that the Liberals per se would actually implement any kind of useful policies. Or that a Liberal would be a canny political operator who completely loving wrecked their cunning plans to sabotage him

Ms Adequate posted:In fairness to Balfour he couldn't really have predicted that the Liberals per se would actually implement any kind of useful policies. Campbell-Bannerman was really something of an Edwardian Jeremy Corbyn, right down to surviving an attempted backbench revolt in late 1905. 1930s Labour leader George Lansbury described him as "not afraid of the word Socialism, and [he] did believe unemployment was a national problem and the unemployed the care of the State." It's a tragedy he died in 1908 instead of a few years later. He even managed to have a mostly-competent defence policy, mostly because he listened to Jackie Fisher instead of the War Office.

Posting early in the thread to predict that Brexit won’t happen on the 31st because hellworld has changed targets.Ms Adequate posted:Slaanesh got Tzeentch to give me some ABSOLUTE CHAOS for this month and I'm very pleased (Also thx for birthday wishes I was gonna say I don't want to hog the thread but actually yes I do, lavish me with it, and also a bonus Praxcast episode that goes up tomorrow would be a welcome gift hint hint) I’m going to read “tomorrow” here as “the 2nd of October”, and then I’m going to use my editorial powers to ensure that the 2nd of October doesn’t end until the House of Podliament ceases to sit by using the Lords time machine. So, what I’m saying is, happy birthday, but with technicalities.  Eschenique posted:Does anyone have that Jo Swinson voting Tory picture where she outranks Jeremy hunt?
