The UK's EU-exit is the most important week? Five things that happened on Wednesday

Feb 16,2020 7:18 am

In such an extreme week in Westminster, we could us in the vicinity of superlatives is running.

Nevertheless, we will do our best, you know everything you need to, on the biggest moments of Wednesday.

1) Leakage delay bill clears The Commons .

It was never really in doubt after Tuesday night rebels the victory for the Brexit , But half your work is done now.

to ask for your bill - which would force you to go to the Prime Minister in the EU and for an extension to the British membership, if there is no progress 19. October has been supported by MPs. In The Words of its applicants, Labour's Hilary Benn , it has a purpose - to prevent a no-outlet deal-UK EU.

The Bill , and from the looks of it has not been agreed by the government, to block your progress.

It was a bit of last minute drama to happen if an amendment to The Bill from Labour MP Stephen Kinnock seemed, By Accident , after the government of the narrator could not appear for The Count .

later it turned out That it was a kind of tactics, and the amendment had no legal power anyway.

after the defeat, Boris Johnson was on his feet immediately, decrying those who are behind The Bill and insisted there is only one possibility left - a General Election .

2). However, it is not a choice - yet

Boris Johnson had to call the support of two-thirds of the members, which failed to make a choice-and he.

In large part because the opposition parties do not trust him. Jeremy Corbyn says That personally he's spoiling for an Election ; Lib dem leader Jo Swinson -the-clock, "bring it on said".

But they, along with the SNP and others who want to see, no offer categorically excluded before you commit. To make sure you absolutely want to, for example, That Mr Johnson could not like to just come elections, the win on the 15th of October , And Then March, the country on October 31, what.

Tired of voters not exist, a sigh of relief, though - a choice, finally, is all But inevitable.

Mr. Johnson has More Than 20 members, a majority, he can not govern effectively. Jeremy Corbyn et al will want him. So in the end it is A Question of when, not whether.

3) Johnson's first Prime Minister 's Questions

Many hours before everything was, it was Boris Johnson , the first PMQs, and it was unforgettable.

It was clearly no Love Lost between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn , as the couple spat out by the exchange on Brexit as a furious tennis volley with few concrete answers.

The Labour leader repeatedly asked about the details of the PM's negotiating plan with the EU - he did not get.

The clock is not pushed, the Labour leader, to back a Election on 15 October , mouthing blouse, The Words "you big, big girl 's" when The Answer came to pass, and again and again, the anti-no-deal-plan calls a "capitulation bill".

Expect to hear That phrase a lot in the coming weeks.

After PMQs, the explains to you in the coming year - the end of austerity. It speaks volumes about the kind of week we are not in his speech have an entry of its own in our Top Five .

4) A burqa-series. But That is no excuse

had to do The Most dramatic moment of PMQs is actually nothing to do with the UK's EU-exit - Imagine That .

The Labour MP for Slough, Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, urged with great passion, That you boxes the watch to apologise for remarks he made a while ago in a newspaper article to compare Muslim Women to the letter.

The Question received enthusiastic applause from his colleagues, But Mr. Johnson is not sorry, even if the output was in Question , secured by Lib dem leader Jo Swinson , who warned at his words "weight" and he "has to be more careful" with what he says.

elsewhere during PMQs, Mr Johnson a pair of used agricultural language, so That we are not sure The Message came through.

5) farewell and defiance of Tory-rebel

The axe fell quickly to defeat after on Tuesday evening, the government - 21 Conservatives, many of whom have decades of service under his belt, were kicked out of The Party for defying Boris Johnson 's orders.

On Wednesday, we have heard That most of them, and it is clear there is real pain and real confusion in some quarters.

Sir Nicholas Soames , the Grandson of Sir Winston Churchill , it was, if not a tear in The Eye -proclaimed certainly a tremor in The Voice , as he was, he would not stand in the next General elections.

"I Am so the end of 37 years of service, approaches to this house of which I said he is already proud and honored to be beyond The Words of a member",. "I'm really sad That it ends this way. "

Alistair Burt added: "I say To My colleagues, if we, as deleted now, who's next?"

He added: "I'm going to get out of here and looked up at the sky, not down at my Shoes . "
