Chris Bryant claimed that MPs were manhandled into the No lobby.

A certain section of British Politics Twitter has long wished for this country to resemble the advanced East Asian nations more. Well, we have government MPs physically assaulting each other in the Commons, so I guess they've got their wish!

Did anyone realize after the 2015 Exit Poll dropped that it had set in motion events for the collapse of the British government?

#Toriesindisarray , part 1,456

Is it really likely this drama continues until the next regular election? Just end it and do snap election and let Starmer take over. The Tories are pretty much finished and need some time off in opposition.

Is there anyone left here who would take Truss over the Lettuce?

The fact that both of them resigned might suggest this happened over their heads? Especially with the reports of Ministers doing it. Might also be pre-emptive at this stuff getting out.

MP named by Chris Bryant as being bullied into voting No was Alex Stafford - MP for Rother Valley since 2019. Terese Coffey and Jacob Rees Mogg involved.

I mean, will anyone have the decency to put this government out of its misery?

Via Sky News: Only 315 Tory MPs voted for the motion (the rest are probably DUP). Abstentions allegedly include Kwasi Kwarteng and Priti Patel.

If the Tories carried out its threat from this morning, they would now be a minority government.

That list includes Alok Sharma (in the cabinet), the Chief Whip, Liz Truss, and Theresa May.

None of this makes sense.

Yes, honestly anyone with a surface level of understanding of the British economy, how EU functions and basic human psychology could have predicted that. There was a reason why Cameron left so fast and May tried to keep the status quo going. Of course I didn’t predict precisely how it would turn out, I thought the Conservatives would have made a Brexit in name only and the Tories would have collapsed in infighting over that, I had not predicted they would make the worst possible Brexit, but after they did that it was pretty obvious that the economic consequences would result in something like this, through I expected it would have been with Johnson in charge and the collapse being smaller.

Ironic that this is all based on pointless lobby games as fracking isn’t going to happen for years and won’t do anything to help with energy prices and is deeply unpopular.
