THERE SHOULD BE NO RECESS

Agreed, they should stay and sort this mess out.

Unbelievable, but then again no surprise there ?

Yes, unbelievable indeed. They would soon criticise any other workers who were going off early at a time of crisis.

I hardly think that those in important positions will be spending the whole of the Summer on ‘jollies’ but they do have the right to some relaxation, as does everybody.
I expect the PM and her team involved with Brexit will be busy throughout, with meetings and regular updates.
If the Chequers deal bill gets through Parliament, then that will be a vital bit of business done.

We are not in a ‘state of emergency’ btw.

oh, yes, we definitely are. If you can't see that... then it says it all. Was it you who accused me to wear rose tinted glasses earlier today. ?!?

No

Apologies . it is just that you all sound the same ...

Apology accepted, have a bit of Toblerone, am just having some with a cup of black coffee.

And aren’t they leaving early? I hope they pay their fine for taking time out in term time.

Our Prime Minister is the servant of the electorate. She has absolutely no right to send parliament home for a longer summer holiday just to avoid being sacked by the schemers in her own party.

Toblerone, dark chocolate only thanks- is your Toblerone the full Toblerone, or the Brexit one, with quite a bit missing?

I don't feel any of them are there to serve, merely to further their own careers and ambitions.

Just how low will your govt stoop @theresa_may? When @andrealeadsom delayed proxy voting motions, she assured those of us who were pregnant that we would be paired when necessary. Today your govt broke that agreement - @BrandonLewis paired with me but voted. Desperate stuff.

For anyone who doesn't know LibDem deputy leader Jo Swinson has just given birth to her second child.

Parliamentary convention permits "pairing agreements" when a member has good reason to be absent but this despicable government has ratted on that agreement.

No surprise there then!

Appearing in Parliament and been seen is only the icing on the cake. The real business of government is done behind the scenes and at constituency level. The vacations are when much of this can be done. yes, of course they take holidays. Don't we all?

Whatever the current state of the country I cannot see it makes any difference where the current collection of misfits and clowns are. If they do get together in Parliament during the vacations it will only be to make a bad situation worse.

We will be spared a few days of political experts being filmed at Westminster

Very true Annie.....there’s always a silver lining
It’s a milk chocolate Toblerone jura a ginormous one brought by a visitor, and am steadily working my way through it, it’s hard work but somebody has to do it! Yum.

Ah lucky you if it is the real McCoy- Toblerone should be 170gr and the Brexit version is 150 gr only- about 2 chunks missing. The reality.

Two chunks are not missing, that’s exactly what I have left
( saving for tomorrow night.)

So your prefer the EU real Toblerones, to the Brexit ones then. Straight from the Brexiteers 'Bible', the Daily Mail ahaha:

I like the ahaha ....reminds me of Alan Partridge.
Tbh I have no preference, as visitors sometimes buy these from the airport when they come and stay, I never buy them.
Thorntons are my choccies of choice.

We mustn’t allow our choccy chat to flood the thread though, or we will be told off.
