It won't clear the Lords until next week at best. Think Monday is the intended day for the Commons to try and deal with amendments. Once you're past 10th/11th then the election won't happen until after the European Council meeting (emergency one is possible, I suppose) on 17th October. And unless Parliament isn't shut down then there's no time to legislate to reduce the legally required time for a campaign.

Nice one, cheers for clearing that up.

Ken Clarke does not appear at all shaken, or lost, by being booted out of the party he's represented for 49 years in the Commons. "Anyone who says I'm not a Conservative is taking an odd political view. It's the Brexit Party rebadged."

Of course, having an election after blocking no deal could also be suicidal.

If Johnson wins the election with a majority (which the pols say is possible) then they could just repeal the bill and it’s no deal here we go with no way of stoping it and all the Tory moderates kicked out...

Can someone explain to me the consequence of being de-selected and losing the whip?
Just to add to what others have said, removal of the Whip means that those MPs will not be classed as Conservative MPs for as long as the Whip is withdrawn. They will remain MPs but be classed as Independents. Of course, the Whip can be reinstated at any time and they will become Conservative MPs again, so it's only a temporary disarrangement.

Tonight's removal of the Whip is mainly for show; I imagine said Whip would be reinstated before any General Election. Not even Johnson is so thick as to go into an Election 21 MPs down from where he could be.

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson started the day with 311 MPs, and a majority of one. He's finishing it with 289 MPs, very much the leader of a minority government.

There are going to be a lot of new faces at the next election, on both sides of the house.

whilst I despise nearly all the current generation of Westminster MPs greatly, it will be a massive loss of experience to have such a turnover after the upcoming election. At a time when we need to rebuild the government and politics of this country.

I worry that if the Tories win they’ll have gained some people from UKIP/Brexit Party and then we really are looking at a government on the far right of the spectrum. Those “moderates” will be replaced somehow.

The vast majority of the white/very pale blue marginal 'Leave' seats are Tory (especially the further south). Commuter belt, towns and cities with functioning economies and many relatively socially liberal captured back from LibDems/Labour since the early 2000s by the 'compassionate conservatism' under Cameron.

A hard right Tory party, represented on campaign by Boris "fuck business" Johnson, Mogg, Raab, McVey etc is going to lose seats across southern/middle England.

Polls are weighted by how 'likely to vote' respondents declare themselves (to avoid discrepancies polls used to have without that weighting and thus overestimating 'weak' support = votes). All that should be needed is a half decent Labour campaign with no major fuckups, for Lib Dems in particular to swallow moderate Tory seats in the south.

One thing we (and pundits) haven't considered yet is whether GoNU might come back into play now, particularly if Johnson forces a VoNC (after failing under FTPA). There are 22 fewer Tory MPs than there were yesterday. They're still very unlikely to put Corbyn into No. 10 even for 10 minutes - but someone like Ken Clarke is no longer a Tory grandee. It's easier for Labour to support him as a caretaker Stop No Deal PM than it was last week.

This is inevitable. But it ought to play into Labour’s hands, at least under normal circumstances. The line that Corbyn should use is that the Tory party is turning into a Conservative Militant Tendency - full of dangerous extremists who have entered the party from the margins. He should use the term “Militant Tendency” too.....

Yes - Hammond's certainly. But a number of others have already said they're stepping down. Ideally, you'd need to check the rebels majorities versus the remain/leave percentages, but apart from Greening and Stewart's I'd looked up earlier, I can't be arsed :).

Yeah, what a coincidence. Corbyn bumps into the man who came up with a plan to trap Corbyn into a GE only hours after Corbyn told him to piss off, we know what your up too.
Did he have any sarnies with him, he's probably been standing their waiting for him for ages.

“Generosity always pays off. Generosity in your effort, in your work, in your kindness, in the way you look after people and take care of people. In the long run, if you are generous with a heart, and with humanity, it always pays off.”

Yeah but it's very important to remember what has happened over the last 3 yrs, she made the PMs job impossible when she laid down her red lines, it made any good deal impossible.it also helped rip the country in half.
It might take our producers five minutes to find 60 economists who feared Brexit and five hours to find a sole voice who espoused it.
“But by the time we went on air we simply had one of each; we presented this unequal effort to our audience as balance. It wasn’t.”
