It leaves the government without a working majority in parliament. The MP for Bracknell, who has been a staunch campaigner for remain, said he quit over the way Boris Johnson was pursuing a “damaging Brexit” that could “put lives at risk”.

and then they had a Ge and got a majority of 80 so worked wonders
The longest running Netflix original.

Who knows, maybe they will at this rate 😜

British politics is like a bunch of old men at a pub
Conor McGregor is going to come in any moment punching left and right with his wizz-ky!
There's a state-subsidized bar at the House of Commons, so given the makeup of the chamber it pretty much is a pub for old men.
have you ever seen an English tourist?
@Smokes McGee why won't they exist in 10 years?

better than House of Cards
The original was written about British parliament, it's great.
TBF, not better than the REAL House of Cards.
AND you don't have to watch a pedo-rapist to enjoy the original show.
True, and no surprise that House of Cards was written by a former member of staff at Conservative HQ.
A man with honor and love for his country more than for his party and political career. Though I am not british I salute such gentlemen!
British politics may have become poisonous, extreme and non-functional according to pundits, but to the eyes of a neutral observer looking from a 3rd world country, this has gotten pretty darn interesting
You didn't mention which 3rd world country you're from.
@@jfhow Bangladesh
@Suck MyToe brexiteers make me want the second gunpowder plot to happen
**Developing nation, not 'third' world - Bangladesh has an annual growth rate of ~7%, also the term '3rd world' implies that the country should be held in less high regard than 'first world' countries.. It may not seem like an important distinction but language matters..

It's really interesting to see that almost every time when BJ goes off script he starts to stutter.
outstanding move
it looks so silly though 😂 “I don't like this team, let's walk casually to the opposite side”
If he'd done a t-pose slide the internet would've imploded.
@@FREQQLES as well as his career.
Respect to any politician who puts country before party at this time in politics. Stop the coup, bring order and democracy back to parliament.
punkalert1 Oh please, it’s all political point scoring. It’s not even the correct definition of coup, they couldn’t even get that right.
You obviously don't know the meaning of a coup. Ridiculous.
slapmyfunkybass yeh think your right banana republic seems a more accurate description
@@Billy2011C A coup is when someone makes a sudden and decisive change of government, either illegally or by force.
Stopping parliament, so that MP's cannot speak on behalf of their constituents, only to force through legislation -- is a coup by definition. Boris forcing prorogation of parliament in this context is nothing but a coup to take control and ignore all other MP's within the house.
@@unixfreak they've discussed brexit for three years. Those who aren't willing to carry out the vote of the people in that time are undermining democracy.
0:26 that fist bump
that wasn't a fist bump. it was a handshake
@@Palpad100 a firm handshake... the British fist bump ; )
Glad this man found his moral compass
To be fair, his "moral compass" led him to the Lib Dems, which is barely to the left of the Tories. It's like congratulating an American senator for changing his letter from an R to an L. He's still just as conservative as he's always been.
Well.. actually Libertarian is further to the right than Republican technically.
@@alextoschi2242 The "Lib" in "Lib Dems" stands for Liberal, not Libertarian.
@@RabidDogma interesting, genuinely curious about this, why does R stand for the Tories?
@@alextoschi2242 It doesn't? He was making a comparison to *American* politics, R stands for Republican.
This is what I call, taking back control..
Well I am bad at english I only understand: all death, all death xD
He just sacrificed his seat come the next election. He will never be selected ever again, to any party.
@@5656156516516 I'm not very knowledgeable on politics, but I believe that switching sides made the conservatives (and by extension Boris Johnson) lose their majority and power.
@@Chrisallengallery If his constituents are happy with Phillip making that move, and respect what he may have done locally, then they will vote for him again. regardless of party.
@Paul Badger but there's still an imbalance of power as of now.
lol, boss move of that gent.
Why explain more
Oh, and i should add that Phillip Lee has lost the Conservatives their majority. Making what he did even more shocking.
@@darkfightlight1939 only a fool would laugh at a politician that goes actively against what he chosen to do. Are you simple or just3a fool?
He's a treacherous pos!
Yeah total boss move, I loved the way he grabbed the hand grenade and chucked it back out of the bunker risking his own life and saving his whole platoon...no wait, that never happened, all I saw was some old piss smelling paedo walking across a room...🤔
Bang goes your majority
And only a few months later, Bojo wins the largest Tory majority in decades
Hahahahahaha
O-o-order.exe has stopped working
Congratulation !! Courage is contagious
0:08 - the moment of realisation. ‘Eeuuuuuh’.
Like he wanna vomit. It's understandable.
Clown gets clowned. I've never been less sad in my life.
pretty brutal! But boris was thinking "Cummings didn't tell me this could happen"
Oh dear. Looks like Boris Johnson is losing control. What a joke of a Prime Minister.
It could be worse, imagine if Corbyn was in charge 😱
1920:are empire is so big,wonder what comes next for us

What's the point in voting for anything
Well, you really have to consider what you are being asked to vote for - Brexit referendum was about settling Tory divisions and preventing the loss of a few seats to UKIP. It was a bluff by the government, you were never really meant to vote Leave. And the ones who did want you to vote leave also promised things that weren't really on offer - all the economical advantages of the EU without political union. That was never going to happen. So instead we will probably wind up with some manner of fudged Brexit where we pretend we got the freedom we wanted because our ego makes it hard to admit we were duped but if we are honest with ourselves is nothing like what was on the prospectus.
Our government is a mess
And now it's getting worse if only we realised like this former Tory did
would've been hella funny if during his party report response someone did the exact same thing
Oh this was two years ago, thought it was fairly recent
Odeh, odeh, odeh!
Look at Leadsom's face, just look at her face. LOL
How the hell did she end up in the cabinet anyway. Mind you there's seem to be a pretty low bar for cabinet/shadow cabinet membership these days.
What happened to her face?
Gutgulper gravity and age
I think she just swallowed a bit of sick hahaha
Agreed, but rather that face than Dianne Abbott's ugly maw
What a bunch of clowns..
Like rats on a sinking ship
BoJo clearly embarassing the nation, and has already found his 10min of fame as PM and needs to walk away with Cummings behind him - pun intended
'Democracy chose Brexit. Are you against the peoples choice?
@@balla4544 democracies change their minds when presented with information

Theres a certain vanity about Johnson and his belief thats he's the reincarnation of his great hero Winston Churchill. Unfortunately he resembles Churchill's cigar, full of hot air lasting only 5 mins

"I wished my old friend ((what)) all of it." Even after listening to it several times I still didn't pick up what he said.
"i wish my right honourable friend all the best" At least that's what you get without the stuttering.
@@Sam-es2gf *honourable, not Rt. Hon.
I love the way Caroline Lucas of the Green Party gave Rees Mogg a right bollocking for lounging around in the chamber like sulky yob, and everyone else chiming in for him to sit up and respect the house. There We Are Then.
Loved the drama
They may have thought they were being clever but who’s out of a job now … c ya !
How are they out of a job for doing this? It's perfectly allowed.
Who?
*Teams have been auto-balanced.*
Wow! Someone from Bracknell with integrity, there’s a turn up for the book. 😂😂
I do wish they'd stop calling each other honourable.
What is he saying at 0:07? "Yeah, yeah, yeah?" Is he reacting to Phillip Lee crossing over?
why the hell was this on twitch?
It’s like watching Arsenio Hall-you can never tell who’s cheering and who’s booing.
Nice move!!!
Epic
The his constituents booted him out...LOL.
I dont know why Europe finds this boring. This is Democracy at its best. A close vote HAD TO HAVE SUCH A RESULT.
How did that work out? Lol
Still a better love story than twilight...
And he wont loose a penny of his pension or wages for resigning and joining another party ,now you try this at work and see what happens
The way the UK is going he'll probably have his own chat show in a year time
Wow!
just imagine his party just pulled him back to the tory bench with the force of a few men.
That's one way to get back the majority
Why did they cut away just before the otter arrived?
(Yes I know, it's a joke.)
how can he change side like that? is it not the people who have voted for him as tories?
@Francesco Salvatore ok, i didnt know that thx for the explaination.

British parliament is ridiculous.
I'm British and I couldn't agree more, I'm sure this whole brexit thing has been rigged from the start

Anything is possible.
Only, if it had been rigged properly, it should at least have been 25 Mil voters for Brexit!! :-p

someone on BBC comments said Boris and Cummings are like Pinky and the Brain
Which one's a genius and which one's insane?
I reckon in a fortnight from now,you'll be able to get the entire Tory PP into a minivan. 😂
You should do stand up...🤔
It should be up to the public to vote on weather Boris should go even tho he should it’s obvious and the government they can’t do anything right they just lie .
The British people will remember this at the next general election !
Yeah, and they won't be voting Tory.
@@RabidDogma Yep, Tory's are definitely going out in the next general election, what a disgraceful party.
I kinda feel bad for ol Boris, having to be embarrassed on the world stage, but he chose it.
He is so clueless, just like Trump.

I'd stick to watching sponge Bob if I were you...
If Boris is clueless, what the hell does that make Corbyn!??

Secured his salary then.
Until the election when he loses his job.
