Boris is taking no prisoners as he takes everyone in the opposition camps on in a fight that must have a conclusion by the 31st October
I have no idea where this ends and it is very scary
Each and every mp bears a heavy responsibility for this disaster
Is there anyone who can achieve a compromise.
TM's deal is still there and was and still is the best resolution
TM's deal is not there. The government needs to bring it forward. Boris has declared it dead. So. It can only be alive if Boris produces a spectacular climb down. And with no guarantee it would pass.
It is still there if there is a will . If all those writing a letter to Boris today had instead written an endorsement of the deal, demonstrating a cross HOC compromise, it would have a chance.
But no, they each carry on in their entrenched positions
Hence while I say, a plague on every mp for taking us down this idiotic road
On which note. Has anyone suggested one TMay for leader of GNU? We know she is opposed to No Deal. We know she'd love to shaft ERG. Would be hard to argue it was a "coup" as she actually won most seats at the last election...
I just wish everybody would compromise a little bit. But instead everyone insists on being self-righteous and demonizing of the other side.
Personally, and I can only speak for myself, I'd have been quite satisfied with a soft Brexit. What I find utterly unacceptable is the attempt to overturn the vote.
Suck it up, winner.
I am also quite satisfied with leaving without a withdrawal agreement, which has its own plusses.

The problem is MPs don't endorse the deal. Supporters of it never quite got that. It is remarkably unpopular. More so than competing options.
I find myself playing innuendo tennis and reading obscure cricket stats, I only nipped on to laugh at this weeks hysterical electoral calculus outputs, are there no crazy holiday season polls to argue over?
Reading obscure cricket stats is one of my hobbies. At the moment I'm trying to find out what the highest run chases at Lords have been so far, but it's proving to be surprisingly difficult to find the figures.

Downing Street is said to be holding daily meetings about how to delay legislation in September – a tactic designed to take away opportunities for MPs to hijack government plans with measures opposing no deal.
Not only are they ripping up all their existing trade arrangements with nothing to replace them, they are doing it while conducting an ongoing denial-of-service attack on their own parliament. Which means they can't pass any legislation to prepare for what they're about to do, or even do anything else. This is absolutely mental.
Johnson has turned the country into a giant Kursk submarine.
The oxygen is running out and no one has a fucking clue what to do.
According to the BBC News website Owen Jones claims he has been attacked by "far right activists" outside a pub in the early hours.
Yes and he correctly blames the right wing press. Looking at tomorrow's Mail you can see why. It's reverted to being a rag and a dangerous one. Words like 'saboteurs' are not a good idea . Next comes enemies within

1968 coup plotted against Harold Wilson's Labour government.
Lord Mountbatten came dangerously close to leading a cabal of industrialists, generals and tycoons plotting a coup against an elected Labour government, a new book reveals.
“It was not Solly Zuckerman who talked Mountbatten out of staging a coup and making himself President of Britain. It was the Queen herself.”
That's rather unfair on Mountbatten. The article even acknowledges that when it came to the critical moment, Mountbatten said "no". Which is all you can ask from people.
Surely if enough MPs were to ask the Speaker to recall Parliament he could do so.
We are about to find out, although the Sunday shows will be awash with Brexiteers who whine incessantly about Parliamentary Sovereignty explaining why Parliament must NOT be allowed to sit right now...

"We have explored all the options and concluded you would be an ideal candidate to lead an overthrow of democracy." "Well. Thank you for thinking so highly of me. And involving me in the planning at every stage. It is a great honour, but, regretfully, my niece doesn't approve." Which is all you can ask.

1. Sympathies to OJ and I hope he's not too badly hurt.
2. I see you have seen the completed Police investigation and convictions which prove his claim that organs of the press were responsible for the attack.
3. I know you would wish to avoid wild unsubtantiated allegations without a scintilla of actual evidence to back them up .... would you?
Is this the reason why Johnson is meeting Merkel and Macron ? He is going to tell them we are going out on the 31st [ he has no other option ] October but want their fullest cooperation.

If Australia chase more than 200, they will lose. Less than 150, they will possibly win. Leach has to come to the party. Archer alone won't do. But the "fifth" day [ which it is not ] has variable bounce. So any bowler could cause trouble.
There is another way it could be triggered, by MPs amending the Fixed Term Parliament Act to create an exception or creating a new law to allow an election which would require just a simple majority. One of the repercussions of our parliamentary sovereignty system is that these 2/3 majority that are written in statute are pretty much meaningless as they can be revoked/amended with a simple majority.

Yes, but for England to set more than 200 they have to bat until lunchtime, and then the time to bowl the Aussies out gets a bit tight. What's more, England would have to bat the game safe if they can so I reckon they would go deep into the afternoon session if they are not actually bowled out.
So the paradox is that England's best chance of winning is to get bowled out quickly, but not too quickly.

Has it ever not been a dangerous rag?
It's pretty disgusting but what can you do but not buy it?

Oh, I agree. Freedom of the Press, etc. Just was curious about the use of "reverted".

Expectations management as below. Draw should still be favourite.
Trying to forget about politics by having a nice drink in Ponteland with some old university friends however the conversation has already gone onto politics.
Out of 6 Lab voters at the 2017 election, 5 are going to now vote for Jo.
👌
After how many drinks was that conclusion reached ?

Disagree. If 98 overs are indeed bowled [ doubtful ], there will be a result. Full house at Lords on a 5th day.

Well I think it would once have passed as a respectable paper, but it certainly has no qualms about inciting the mob nowadays.

Jones also observed that he didn't hear his attackers say anything so the "far right" claim is his (quite possibly reasonable) assumption given he's been so threatened in the past. Lets hope the perps are caught and brought to justice.
