Unelected Lords Pass Amendment to Stop No Deal Brexit
Unelected peers in the House of Lords have passed an amendment which could theoretically block Boris Johnson from suspending Parliament so that Britain can leave the EU on October 31st without a deal.
2pm Update: MPs vote in favour of preventing the full suspension of parliament, minister resigns, two members of Cabinet abstain
Members of Parliament voted on Thursday afternoon in support of an amendment to the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation) Bill which would prevent the full suspension of parliament if parliament is prorogued.
The Benn-Burt amendment, which outlines that if parliament is suspended, it must be recalled for five days of debate on Northern Ireland, passed 315 to 274 against (majority of 41).
The tally means that 17 Conservative MPs defied the whip and voted for the amendment.
Margot James, Minister for Digital and the Creative Industries, voted against the government and reportedly has resigned. Sky News's Beth Rigby reports that 30 Tory MPs abstained, including Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond and Secretary of State for Justice David Gauke abstained, and that Prime Minister Theresa May will be calling for those ministers' resignations.
Wow big victory
- govt defeated 274 to 315
- govt loses by 41 votes
- Margot James has resigned as DCMS minister
- Cabinet abstentions including Clark Hammond Stewart Gauke. Will May ask them to resign
- Beth Rigby (@BethRigby) July 18, 2019
A vote on the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation) Bill will take place later on Thursday.
The original story continues below...
A bill put forward by Remainer Tory MP Dominic Grieve forcing MPs to produce fortnightly reports on the progress of restoring power sharing in Northern Ireland passed by one vote in the House of Commons on June 10th.
The Lords passed a motion on Wednesday by a majority of 103 which would strengthen that legislation, forcing MPs to not only produce the report, but present it fortnightly, as well, resulting in parliamentarians having to sit in the weeks leading up to the Halloween Brexit deadline.
The Northern Ireland (Executive Formation) Bill is returning to the Commons for a further vote on Thursday.
The Guardian reports that 13 Tory Remainers are set to back the bill that includes the anti-Brexit amendment, with support from the pro-EU Liberal Democrats and the Labour Party, the latter having recently hardened its official position against a clean exit.
BBC Newsnight's Nicholas Watt said on Wednesday that a number of ministers could resign to back the bill, saying: "Tonight I've learnt there are big discussions amongst big ministers about whether they should resign tomorrow. It is to support a possible vote in Parliament which would effectively block the next prime minister from suspending Parliament."

May to Let China Build UK 5G Network, Damaging National Security, Anglosphere Co-operation
Theresa May appears set to approve Chinese participation in "non-core" elements of Britain's 5G network via Huawei, delivering a blow to the Five Eyes security alliance of Anglosphere nations, reports suggest.
The British prime minister overrode the objections of Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson, Home Secretary Sajid Javid, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Trade Secretary Liam Fox, and International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt at a meeting of the National Security Council to allow Huawei, an allegedly employee-owned Chinese telecoms giant, to develop "non-core" infrastructure for the 5G network, according to The Telegraph.
Digital minister Margot James has pushed back on the reports somewhat, not denying that Huawei will be involved in 5G development, but claiming that "In spite of Cabinet leaks to the contrary, final decision yet to be made on managing threats to telecoms infrastructure."
Many senior Tories are concerned that the Prime Minister's rumoured decision will deal a severe blow to the Five Eyes intelligence network, comprising the Anglosphere nations of the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
The U.S. is keen that Five Eyes members do not involve Huawei in 5G development, as it could afford the Chinese Communist Party regime a back door to spy on their activities.
The Australian government agrees, warning that there are "serious concerns over Huawei's obligations to the Chinese government and the danger that poses to the integrity of telecommunications networks in the U.S. and elsewhere".
"There's a reason others have said no," commented Tom Tugendhat, the chair of the House of Commons foreign affairs committee.
"It is unwise to co-operate in an area of critical national infrastructure with a state that can at best be described as not always friendly."
There is a risk that the United Kingdom could be shut out if intelligence-sharing if a Huawei connection leads to it being perceived as a "weak link", potentially leaving the British more at risk from international terrorism and hostile state actions than its allies.

Facebook, YouTube, and Snapchat execs could be named, shamed, and held personally liable for harmful content under new UK laws
Executives at Facebook, Google, and Snapchat might be held personally responsible if their firms don't delete harmful content off their services, according to UK government plans seen by The Guardian. A government policy paper, to be published Monday, isexpected to introduce a much stricter regulatory regime for tech firms. The UK will establish a new regulator that will have the power to fine tech firms billions if they don't obey a new mandatory code of conduct. Australia is also mulling big fines and even threatening jail time in cases where big tech firms don't tackle violent material on their sites.
Executives at Facebook, YouTube, and Snapchat, and other big tech companies may be held personally responsible for harmful content on their services, according to UK government plans seen by The Guardian. Details are scant, but the report suggests individual executives at the major tech firms will be held personally liable if their companies don't delete content relating to terrorism, child abuse, self-harm, and suicide. It is not clear exactly what this personal liability will entail, but the idea of criminal convictions has been floated. "We will consider all possible options for penalties," Jeremy Wright, the UK's culture secretary, told the BBC in February.
The British government is due to publish a policy paper on Monday, which is expected to radically toughen up how tech is regulated in the UK. Business Insider understands that the government's plans are still in draft and will not be finalised until this weekend. The UK's digital minister Margot James told Business Insider in late February that the government would introduce a new tech regulator, which would have the power to impose massive fines on the likes of Facebook and Google if they don't rid their platforms of harmful content. James said the fines could be up to 4% of a company's global turnover, meaning they could hit the billions of dollars in the most severe cases.
According to The Guardian, the government will initially ask the existing media regulator Ofcom to police the tech firms. Eventually, it will create an independent regulator, to be funded by a levy on tech firms. The plans will cover not just social media platforms like Facebook, but online messaging services and even file-hosting sites. The UK government paper comes as governments around the world grapple with how to deal with the proliferation of hate speech and other harmful content online. The internet has historically been seen as beyond regulation but certain shifts have emboldened governments to act. One is that power has coalesced around a few dominant, public American companies, namely Facebook, Google, Amazon, Twitter, and Snapchat, who can be brought to heel.

UK to fine Facebook & Google for not removing 'hate speech' & 'fake news' fast enough
The UK is rolling out a draconian new 'harmful content' policy that will punish social media with massive fines if they fail to remove ill-defined "hate speech", "misinformation", and "problematic content" quickly enough, RT.com writes.
An "independent tech regulator" would have the power to impose fines amounting to as much as 4 percent of a company's value if Facebook, Google, or any other social media platform is too slow to remove objectionable content, according to UK digital minister Margot James, who told Business Insider the new rules would be officially unveiled next month. The regulations are purportedly aimed at eradicating "illegal hate speech", along with child grooming and "problematic content" related to suicide and self-harm, but also target the Western governments' beloved punching bag, "misinformation."
While the new regulator is supposed to be independent of government, it will be up to ministers to decide whether to set up a brand new body or just hand the responsibility for censoring objectionable content over to Ofcom - the same regulator which was recently found to be colluding with a government-funded "think tank" to tie up RT in regulatory red tape with astroturfed "complaints."
Based in part on Germany's NetzDG laws, which fine companies tens of millions of dollars for hate speech if offending messages are not deleted within a certain period, the new UK regulations won't stop at censoring "illegal hate speech" (which James apparently defines as anything from terrorist recruitment videos to racism, leaving plenty of wiggle room for neocon think-tanks to sink popular alternative media pages). Child grooming, "problematic content" related to self-harm, and even "misinformation" can now cost tech companies billions of dollars - up to 4 percent of their revenue - if they do not act quickly.
"Tech companies listen with their wallets", Conservative MP Damian Collins said, praising the German model. Collins recently led an 18-month parliamentary investigation into "fake news" on social media, and the results didn't bode well for independent-minded users and content creators. The report decried "malign forces" spreading "disruption and confusion", liberally sprinkling the descriptor "Russian" throughout in case there was any doubt what flavor of "discord" was being sowed.
Tech executives could actually face criminal penalties if they are unable to rein in malicious use of their platforms, according to Culture Secretary Jeremy Wright, who joined James on a jaunt to Silicon Valley to meet with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and hammer out the details of the regulation.
James admits it isn't social media's fault that "toxic content" is posted on their platforms, but insists, "you've got to take it down before it proliferates." She was open about her desire to impose the model on other governments, lamenting that the US government does not ban hate speech but expressing hope that the UK model could be a "template", ensuring "other governments follow our lead."

Business Insider reports that the British government plans to fine tech giants such as Google and Facebook billions of dollars if they fail to properly police content on their platforms. The U.K.'s digital minister Margot James recently announced that a new independent tech regulator will be given the authority to fine and punish tech firms which fail to protect their users.
