Bedford White Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 2 hours ago, Sooky said: So Labour have proposed an amendment to the QS that says NI women should have access to England for abortion and it seems that a few Tories are going to back it and it might get through. Which means the DUP would be obliged to vote for a Queens Speech that explicitly states that abortion for NI people should be allowed. That'd be a laugh. Labour have upped their game significantly. Tories have been whipped against the amendment with Labour giving their MPs a free vote. I expect to see some Tory abstentions. This charade is not going to last long especially with rumours Labour are refusing to pair votes anymore. Every vote on a knife edge. Another GE certain by Oct 2018 imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government, knowing they were going to be defeated, are backing the amendment to fund abortions for NI women arriving in England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been whipped to abstain on the amendment, submitted by a Labour backbencher, to remain in the single market. Does their manifesto not state they need to leave, in order to end free movement? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already effectively did in Scotland as long as they could come up with a Scottish address and Nicola Sturgeon has been talking about supporting it openly in recent weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooky Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 BREXIT means BREXIT Doesn't that cover everything? About the only thing they have been clear about is leaving the single market.It does seem like a lot of younger folk voted Labour though fairly ignorant to the fact that their leadership also seem to support leaving the single market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford White Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Tories have caved in and have agreed to amendment on abortion funding for women in NI having terminations in England rather than face defeat on QS. Duppers are not going to be happy. 1-0 Jezza. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, although the years to come should be fun as we move further into a Green Celticy Northern Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf to the Brothers, seems it's an old set of Facebook photos from the flute band's page. Maybe not the brightest family in Airdrie by the looks of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
