Queen's Speech: Labour to force vote on public pay cap - BBC News

Meh. It will get voted down.

A single market amendment might win enough Tory votes.

Too soon after the election fiasco for a Tory rebellion, I think. Give them a few months to line up their factions.

The Tory rebels are holding their powder dry for the Battle of Brexit.

Philip Hammond and David Davis maybe singing from the same hymn sheet, but they do appear to be in different keys.

I think we all know who has supplied the hymn sheet.

On the night of 10 November 1986, more than 2,000 men descended on Ulster Hall, a grand Victorian concert venue in the centre of Belfast, for an invitation-only event organised by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). They had been bussed into the city from across Northern Ireland to protest against the Anglo-Irish agreement, a treaty that gave Dublin an advisory role in the government of the north.

Inside the hall, a lone piper led a parade of flag-bearing men in red berets and matching military-style uniforms. Those assembled then sang a hymn, O God, Our Help in Ages Past, which they described as “Ulster’s battle hymn”.

Presiding over the rally was the DUP lord mayor of Belfast, Sammy Wilson. Among those present were the DUP leader, Ian Paisley, and his deputy, Peter Robinson. Paisley warned his audience that some of them “would not see the end of the campaign which was just beginning”.

Journalists arrived at Ulster Hall, after hearing that the rally was being convened to mobilise what the next day’s newspapers described as a “secret army”. They were refused entry, but a young DUP press officer called Nigel Dodds emerged to hand out leaflets. These explained that a body called Ulster Resistance was being formed as an “organised and disciplined force, which will neither bend nor budge” until the Anglo-Irish agreement was destroyed.

Please, please, please let me be right.

Signed B. Bates.

It's not f-ked.
We have a coalition of chaos. We have a magic money tree.
We are getting everything that the Tory publicity machine said that Labour would be guilty of.
...and remember, it's not the Tories fault. It's the fault of Labour and the EU.
Tories can't negotiate? EU's fault for being less incompetent than the Tories.

Perhaps you'd like to discuss the matter with your possible future clients? They might fill in the blanks concerning how this came about.

I don't tend to discuss my CUK bons mots with any of my clients.

Probably for the best. Still, a bit of proper background research in this instance wouldn't do you any harm.
