Simply 47 imaginary amendments featuring genuine MPs’ names to make your day better
Inspired by all those Brexit amendments being put forward – and rejected – by MPs, a chap called Rob Hastings and his dad thought they’d do this.
And we’re very glad they did because it’s a thing of unexpected beauty.
Inspired by Cooper-Boles and Kyle-Wilson, my dad and I have come up with some alternative parliamentary amendments:
Creasy-Bottomley
Pound-Pincher
Cash-Grant
Fysh-Brine
McDonald-Berger
Hands-Onn
Costa-Coffey
Fox-Hunt
David-Bowie
Twist-Turner
Flint-StoneI’ll get my coat…

All genuine MPs, by all accounts.
@tompeck I was also aiming for one involving Skidmore, but felt I couldn’t get away with using Bottomley twice…

It prompted people to come up with some of their own, and there were a few belters in here too.

ps – why go for Creasy-Bottomley when you can have Creasy-Cox…?

I might be wrong but I think the Costa-Coffey one almost actually happened.
