Brexit Dramarama

MP's voting not being predicted to finish till Midnight.
Might be no mp's to interview bar quick ones in between votes.
Update -

.@PhilipHammondUK has just told me Brexit delay will inevitably be long, that UK will have to prepare for participation in European elections and cabinet’s hope is UK would be allowed to Brexit earlier if deal passed in coming months. See full interview at 10.45 @itv 10.45. Big

Looking like bits (rather than full show) of Preston pre-recorded.

I wonder if that happens then will any seat not attract any voters?

Sky News has given up on covering the votes?

Extraordinarily poor that they are carrying on with normal programming like they are not happening.

On the one hand with Brexit it needs to be a show up to the minute.

On the other they could have repeated the same show weekly for the last three months.

BBC parliament are showing the chamber of the h of c

Quick question. I wonder what the coverage has done to the ratings?

They are voting on a variety of amendments (I believe 13, but don't quote me). I don't blame them for not covering all of them. Sky News will probably cover the main vote when it come to it. However, they are just voting on amendments at the moment and I reckon that most people who want the see the results of the amendments are aware of the existence of BBC Parliament.

If it wasn’t for the change in presenter, they could repeat the same episode of Question Time every week. Always the same points by the panel, always the same selection comments by the audience, just in a different order!

Not really considering how other votes have turned out. Arguable dropping Brexit coverage until Parliament actually makes a decision wouldn't be a bad idea.


Indeed arguably a media blackout on the actions of Parliament might be a way to break the deadlock. Democracy and transparency usually goes hand in hand but perhaps it isn't helping here to deliver a solution.

Never thought I’d agree with Jacob Rees nigh but I’ve just heard him worrying about tommy Morrison and his like becoming MEPs!

Where’s bercow?

Gone home. That's why we have Deputy Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle.

EDIT: Scratch that. The House went into Committee, at which point the one of the Deputy Speakers takes over.

Why does he not sit in the speakers chair when he’s standing in, I’m sure I’ve seen him, and the other deputy speakers sat in the chair?
