Other Lords amendments pass 328 to 65.
Most of these were small corrections in language and words used to make any bill clear and legal.

What do you mean why the hell wouldn't they? I was talking about the last/current government with their order ordeeeer stunts where nothing gets done, no direction is chosen or all of them if you will.
It's really not just Farage that is nothing but talk, right now it is almost everybody in your government. With 3 months and 2 weeks left to come up with a solution, proposition or really anything at all you don't even have a PM.
Vdl's opinion on whether the UK should get another extension could be the very definition of irrelevant.
Even if the commission had any say in that matter, which it doesn't, Juncker is still President of the commission until the beginning of November.
A remainer talking about the EU as bloatedand undemocratic. Well it could be a first but I am going with liar liar pants on fire.

I never voted FPÖ, they don't represent my views, yet they were part of the last government and therefore represented my country. I am part of my country. I am not as responsible for them being in government as the ones actually voting for them, but I could've done more to keep them from gaining votes.
Ok for someone from a country without a representative democracy this might be harder to fathom, but that is also on the people that they apparently are happy in keeping.

You're right, I've just ignored this by now, but it shouldn't be ignored.

... he wants to run the country and can't even get it together to vote!?!
Labour peers are considering holding a confidence vote in Jeremy Corbyn's leadership whilst this will not affect Corbyn's position regardless of the outcome it highlights the mess the Lab party are currently in at the moment and unless they can sort these issues out it is unlikely that they will be able to table a success no-confidence motion when the Tories elect their next leader.

The European Commission’s vice president, is now saying what we are all thinking.
'My God. They're idiots'
Something to do with pairing I'd imagine. In pairing MPs have a sort of gentlemen's agreement so that if one of them wants to bunk off work for the day and can't make a vote then whoever they are paired with in the opposition will not vote so that losing the absentee doesn't make a difference to the vote. I can't actually find anything specific to "slipped" so I could be wrong.
This bill that's passed today.
It's literally as straight forward as: a BJ-led government could schedule the Queen's Speech for November 1st but parliament can't be prorogued / closed down as is normal practice?
It rules out closing it down in all circumstances?
It's going to require a rather cunning plan to get round it. I don't think it's bullet proof though. If NI manages to form a government in the mean time it would be rendered moot for instance.

Thanks. Does that mean his opposite number should of abstained then? Or is the government in the business of sabotaging itself by giving key members the day off (not that this would in anyway be surprising)?
Short of the Irish Parliament forming, but even then that would still require a report that this amendment means also requires debate which means Parliament still has to open early.
Basically, Parliament will reconvene off summer recess at its absolute earliest time (3rd September) and October is going to be a crazy month.
However this bill isn't complete yet, it needs to go back to the Lords, then will come back to the HoC where some non Brexit related amendments are also going to be added, and possible attempts from Brexiteers to add others to counternance the ones that got voted today.
Then the bill gets voted on, gets Royal Assent and then they all sod off next week for summer holidays, and we'll return with at least one new leader of a party.

I think it is important to remember that today's bill does not necessarily rule out no-deal only that it is more difficult to stop parliament having a say on whether we leave without a deal.
