The UK Parliament now has a Twitch channel (unofficially so - but broadcasting this to the public would simply count as being "press coverage", I presume, and thus is quite legitimate).

With live chat and emotes.
Welcome to the future. It's all a bit weird, frankly.

Seems kind of fitting given the way it’s turned into a game.
Hopefully, the election will come when an extension has already been granted.

Didn't/don't they have an official live stream?

Re: EU referendum are you in or out
A small point about the extension bill currently wending its way through the Lords.
There's a way that Johnson could obey that law and still get what he wants, no extension.
Shenanigans: It's usually reported that the other 27 would have to unanimously agree. That's incomplete... it requires all 28 to approve. So he makes the application and then vetoes it himself, the veto being beyond the purview of Parliament.
It's curious how Kinnock's amendment made it through.

Hmmm... Tricky. Can the PM be said to have truly sought an extension if he then unanimously refuses it?Absolute_Zero wrote:A small point about the extension bill currently wending its way through the Lords.

Who was supposed to organise the tellers on the No side? If the Government, perhaps Johnson sees some advantage in May's bill being brought back.Absolute_Zero wrote:It's curious how Kinnock's amendment made it through.
I have been concerned about the goalposts being shifted from Leave versus Remain/Second Referendum to No Deal versus Anything Else being a possible means to finally achieve a majority on that bill. Some MPs who voted against it are now indeed suggesting that they would vote for it.

Re: EU referendum are you in or out
Having re-read Kinnock's amendment, I wonder if it would achieve its stated aim. It appears to apply only after the Commons has approved leaving either with a deal or without one.

Re: EU referendum are you in or out
Meanwhile in the politics thread:
Avoiding being in goverment for the whole five years after Brexit is the entirety of all the plans in the house of commons at the moment.
Nope, it's the words Tory Party that makes it not a plan. Their backers are an entirely different kettle of lobsters.tufty wrote:It's the word "plan" that makes it unlikely, and preceding it with "long-term" that wipes it out entirely.Harlequin wrote:That might make sense as a long-term plan

For my money, it's more likely to be the latter.
