Ah I see Labour are as much to blame, it's "just that" the Tories went ahead with the referendum.There were (and are) members of Labour who have been Eurosceptics as far back as the 1960s. People say the Tory backbenchers it RW Tories (as well as UKIP) who sewed the seed of all this and the Tory front bench ran with it, but there have been people opposed to being part of the EU either fully or just the political side, on all sides of the political spectrum right from the start. Calls to leave the EU in some or all forms has been mooted within every government we’ve had since we joined the EU.
It’s just that the Conservatives went through with a referendum to leave this time around.
Never underestimate the determination of a quiet man.
The problem is we over estimated his sensibilities and let the lunatic run amok with his crazed ideas and authoritarian approach to the poor, the disabled and the displaced.
If Johnson is that desperate for help, he may as well ring Grayling and create the prefect triumvirate of inane stupidity
Our poor country, never has it needed a Labour government more than now.
It is an offence to conspire to break the law even if it comes to naught. Not entirely sure the Brexit Brains Trust has thought this one through.
The majority for the new extension was passed by 327 to 299 - a different result if you take 21 off the 327 and add it to the 299 though - doesn't need all of them either.If I have 47 more apples than you and I give you 21 apples, which of us has more apples?
Yet that's not his parliamentary majority and therefore he can't rely on whipping enough votes.The majority for the new extension was passed by 327 to 299 - a different result if you take 21 off the 327 and add it to the 299 though - doesn't need all of them either.

To vote for a general election that they’re not allowed to stand in? Can’t see it myself.I think the idea is it would be a redemption route for most of them, selflessly coming back into the fold to save the Tories from the clutches of the Brexit Party (as currently being engineered by the Comrades.) That prospect may even persuade Corbyn to go with his own basic instincts and support the FTPA dissolution after all.
And what's (289+21+10)-(649/2)?
The rumour is they will table another motion in the event that fails, setting aside the FTPA and legislating for an October 15th election - single clause and simple majority bill.
