Commons to debate motions on “How to get on with it”

After the Government “has gotten on” with two years of negotiations with the EU, and increasing frustration amongst the public, clamouring Westminster to “get on with it”, the House has recently decided to “get on with it”.

Therefore, the Speaker has announced that the House is to debate various motions on the proposition “How to get on with it” during a special session on Friday. “Motion,” as Rees-Mogg tweeted today from a sedentary position, stems from the Latin “movere”, meaning “to get on with it”.

MPs will have the opportunity to vote on various variations of the proposition, listed below.

Motion A: “The House resolves to get on with it.” (neutral Government motion)

Motion B: “The House resolves to get on with it as soon as possible.”

Motion C: “The House resolves to get on with it. If not, it resolves to resolve during another vote.”

Motion D: “The House resolves to get on with it, but not until having put that to the people.”

Motion E: “The House resolves to get on with it after an extension of not getting on with it.”

Motion F: “The House resolves to get on with getting on with it.”

Motion G: “The House resolves to get on with it after tea.”

Motion H: “The House resolves to get on with it after tea and cake.” (Also referred to as House Resolution 2.0.)

Motion I: “The House resolves to get on with it after a stop in the restroom.” (Government has whipped for this one)

Motion J: “The House resolves to get on with it if none of the above get a majority.”

Motion K: “The House resolves to get on with it if all of the above get a majority.”

Motion L: “The House resolves to get the f*** on with it.” (This one got a huge round of applause on last week’s Question Time.)

Motion M: “The House resolves not to get on with it.” (This one is likely to be defeated by a majority of MPs)

Motion N: “The House resolves to get on with it in five minutes after having a fag.”

The Speaker has promised to get on with deciding on which motions he will select before Thursday 7 pm.
