    No, this is something that Bercow has to rule on. If he decides that May is breaking parliamentary rules, he can prevent her from reintroducing the same bill over and over again.

    Know this one well in industry.
    Start with the answer, and work backwards to construct the question
    that only that answer can apply to.

    He could, but it would be controversial at least, and would probably end his career. It hasn't been used since 1943. So as an alternative, Chris Bryant has proposed an amendment saying the same. Might be a close vote.

    The thing is there's little need to reverse engineer a Theresa May answer into a Theresa May question as they're almost always the same: "Because I said so"

    One ERG loony seems likely to vote against May, calling her actions a "gross betrayal" and calling for a vote of no confidence ...

    The other day we had Charles Walker, who is forever enshrined in the Hansard for describing himself as a "practising fruitcake" when talking about his OCD in Commons a few years ago, suggesting that if the Dire Leader lost Tuesday's vote a General Election should be called

    Today we have professional woman-hater Christopher Chope gunning for her

    When you're looking mentally and politically inferior to those two, it says it all

    “It’s so terrible what’s happening. You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny.
    I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay?
    I can tell you, I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad. But the left plays it cuter and tougher.” - Donald Trump

    The fascist prick is just openly making threats now.

    It's almost as if he's rattled by conversations involving the terms "Mar A Lago" and "sex-trafficking ring" that he's putting a lot of effort into pretending he hasn't heard about

    No doubt Boris Johnson would say too many papers are whoring themselves out for this story...

    Pity the poor people of Uxbridge & South Ruislip, this is what their local party newsletter looks like

    I guess this answers the question "What sort of egotistical hamwallet inserts a photo of themselves into a masthead" though...

    Two out of three of the governments Brexit negotiation team voted against the extension of A50 and the chief whip abstained. Clearly the amount of cocaine that they have had to endure during the brexit process has worn them out and they need their Easter holiday.

    He has a sticker on the back of his car which says 'bollocks to brexit', so he might.

    It looks like a Private Eye mock-up.
    Boris has great comedy value, but he really is some unfortunate bastards' MP <yikes>

    ...before finding out how much money he'd burned through with his various schemes designed to create permanent memorials to Boris Johnson across the city

    That's one way to get tons of stick on social media from mentalists.
