Would stop shysters like this Woolaston grifter getting elected on the Tory brand then pissing off on some sort of woke midlife crisis.

Any Con MP that goes near this should be instantly deselected.
Intriguing movements, tho.
I predict we are about to see the most interesting Autumn in British politics since the Putney Debates of October 1647.

Hopefully, we will have to wait another 400 years for similar excitement.
Brexit might be cancelled.
EDIT: no it's not. He wants to be elected as a full-term prime minister BEFORE calling a referendum. What a moron. He is still undermining Remainers.
How can anyone vote for this decrepit fool?
EDITED EDIT: or maybe he's being clever?
I'll shut up for a bit, now.

Carry on,
Corbyn's move is interesting, and with 3 weeks to horsetrade on who forms the GNU.
The former leader of the Scottish Labour Party also warned that if a second vote on independence was fought solely between the SNP and the Conservatives, because of a weak Labour Party, “you might get a different result”.
Asked if she believed Mr Corbyn would have an “arrangement” with the SNP to enable a minority Labour administration, she said: “One hundred per cent. Again, if you’re looking at the electoral math, and you’re John McDonnell - who is a very smart and astute man - you have to work out what your path to power is.

In any case, I think she wants all 650 seats to have an election.
The UK Parliament, making their own laws.
Dan is cheering that on, right?
Tugendhat suggesting we up sticks and leave on August 24 without warning. Leaving tourists without insurance or driving permits, and goods in transit with no idea of their status. And probably record stock market and currency falls. That too would get rid of Boris, as he'd be VONCed in a shot, as well as deserving to be for being even more of a Buffoon than his most serious detractors had given credence to.
What cunning plans will tomorrow bring I wonder?
May EVS
Cameron 9/2
Churchill 16/1
Blair 20/1
Thatcher 33/1
Pitt the Younger 66/1
Walpole 100/1
(betway)
Sadly for her, it totally failed. Because it was so painfully obvious. So she then went from ardent Leaver to reluctant Remainer to..... actively campaigning for a 2nd referendum in favour of Remain?!?!
God help us.
Sarah Wollaston is the very definition of unprincipled careerism - and, therefore, everything that is wrong with British politics. She is a traitor to herself, let alone the rest of us. She is a night-hag of hypocrisy. Hope she loses Totnes.
Go ahead punk make my day.
Suspect he meant 'not the last'

SNP still only up to 40%, still only 3% up on 2017 and 10% down from its 2015 peak
"If the 20th century was the age of ideology, it has been replaced by an era of subjectivity and competing truths. A few on the extreme fringes still cling to grand narratives – the Islamic State for example – but most big ideas have slipped away. Today we each shape our own narrative. We choose what is true based on our own solipsistic inclinations. The result is a hyper-individualised political climate where concepts such as objectivity and impartiality have passed out of fashion."

I'm just an ex male model in Richmond, expressing herself.
Edit: and welcome (if you are not @Anazina )
LD 2/5
Con 7/4
Lab 100/1
(Ladbrokes)
Otherwise, why write it now? Why not just wait?
It is very difficult to imagine this lot are ever going to get their act together and block No Deal, isn't it?
Con 2/5
Lab 7/4
LD 100/1

Nope - same guy. Standard Vanilla issues. Easier just to re-register. But thanks anyway!
1. VoNC in Boris Johnson
2. MPs have confidence in Jeremy Corbyn
3. Jeremy Corbyn becomes PM
4. Jeremy Corbyn secures extension
5. VoNC in Jeremy Corbyn
6. MPs have confidence in Boris Johnson
Does Grieve find leaving the EU more terrifying than putting an individual like Corbyn in Downing St.
So why are the Tory press talking up the possibility?
Intriguing.

I'm suggesting that if a person elected as, for example, Conservative on their ballot paper crosses the floor and takes, for example, the lib dem whip, the recall of mps act 2015 should be amended such as to make this one of the allowable circumstances that would trigger the recall process.
Got it?
In response to life expectancy in Scotland, I once visited Wetherspoons in Dundee, and what a depressing experience, middle aged men literally drinking themselves to death, only pausing to go outside to smoke.
As a Remainer, I now will never visit another Spoons, nor will I buy anything from Next, and Dyson can go suck.
If he was talking about a time-limited GNU which then called a 2nd ref and THEN had an election, fair nuff. But he isn't, I don't think. He's calling for a time-limited Labour gov which will ask for an EXTENSION (not a new ref) and will THEN seek a new GE in which Labour will promise to offer Remain as an OPTION in a mooted new referendum.
This plan is Swiss-Cheesed with holes. There are so many ways in which Corbyn could back off, and stay as PM. Anyone who supports it is mad.
The Corbynites really are Maoists, Their end justifies any means.
