the Guardian – 30 Sep 19

Challenging Islamophobia? An event at conference tells me the Tories don’t...

The party I chaired once worked to improve diversity. Not any more, says the former chairman of the Conservatives, Sayeeda Warsi

Question (maybe Hoogy can help?)

Can the other parties go sit in the HoC while the Tories are on conference? When is the conference over? Was parliament open today?

Last Thursday there was a motion to have a parliamentary recess, think it failed something like 289 - 306.
Wednesday.
Yes.

They will be sitting in parliament this week, when the conference is going ahead. It’s why some of their backers have offered to lend them helicopters and jets, in case they need to make it down for crucial votes.

hip_young_gunslinger · 2019-09-30T21:09:37.720Z

They should just table loads of banter motions that the Tories can’t justify travelling for, like “This house believes all Tories are sexually aroused by pigs”, just to get it on the books.

Icarus-Smicarus · 2019-09-30T21:13:28.667Z

yes but they’re all just bringing videos and board games in

Sorry for tory link.

The Telegraph

Exclusive picture: Tory MP Sir Desmond Swayne 'blacked up' as soul singer...

A Conservative MP has questioned why his decision to “black up” for a party could be deemed offensive as the first picture emerged of him dressed up as James Brown.

Roughyed · 2019-09-30T21:20:38.899Z

There isn’t a point in The Blues Brothers that James Brown wear’s sunglasses.

didn’t Corbyn once table a motion that Arsenal were the greatest football club?

like that but whatever it is that would wind up the ERG

GoFasterStripes · 2019-09-30T21:46:47.111Z

Ask them all to vote for their favourite European city

wikihock · 2019-09-30T21:53:25.723Z

A series of meaningful votes on whether certain things are weird or fine, actually.

GoFasterStripes · 2019-09-30T21:54:13.914Z

Just wait until they get to Thursday, hoo boy

Lib Dems block cross-party plan to install Corbyn as PM if Johnson defeated...

Jo Swinson refuses to back the Labour leader if Boris Johnson is defeated in a vote of no confidence to prevent no-deal.

I was out tonight but @wikihock and @marckee did a splendid job in my absence.

iamwiggy:

He did, following Arsenal’s unbeaten run to win the Premier League in 2004. It congratulated the team on “the football played that has brought joy to all supporters, the people of Islington and all who appreciate brilliant football”
