    Thanks to the support of all those who purchased shares, we were able to submit a bid on Wednesday for The Three Horseshoes. That bid is now being considered by Greene King’s agent and we are waiting to hear back from them. Thank you all.

    So by my calculations (based on 's figures), of that 350M we alledgedly give to the EC, Javid wants to spend 13M on tax cuts, Hunt 211M, Johnson 271M, Gove 384M, and Raab 734M. Some don't leave much change for the NHS.

    We also saw some new debating tactics: Barclay Manoeuvre - to propose a motion, and then immediately vote against it; May Manoeuvre – a variation of the Barclay Manoeuvre whereby you propose a motion undermining your previous arguments, and then lose the motion by winning it.

    Some new political terms: Advisory Vote - must be enacted without question with no possibility for follow up for clarification or change of circumstance; Meaningful Vote - can be ignored or repeated until the desired outcome is reached.
