They won’t back him, so a GE is imminent. What he wants to do is make sure it doesn’t look like HE chose it after what happened to TMay. He wants it to look like he was forced into it.
I'm sure Mrs T would have been greeted by some nasty chants if she'd made lecturn statements in Downing St.
Can't remember her doing it much?
Not like Brown or May at all. For goodness sake, political junkies cant wait even one day.
It hands the keys to the Commons, not to Brussels.
Get a grip.

Are the Libdems ready for an election? Labour will be fine as they can call on the unions, but what about the libdems?
He'll be back on the steps later in the week. Maybe for a 10pm news, when there's fewer howling middle class white people beyond the gates to Downing Street...They'll all be safely tucked up back in Islington by then.
"Who do you want at EU Council? Me or Corbyn?"
Message to Brexit Party supporters: "Farage can't be PM, it's me or Corbyn"
LOL.
Boris and his supporters repeatedly talk up the progress he’s making in his recent visits to Berlin and to Paris, and at the G7 summit in Biarritz. Can someone who believes this is true and isn’t bullshit explain what this progress is?
The only sense Boris has made so far was in his Merkel press conference, accepting there can only be change if UK puts some credible proposals on the table. But we only negotiate something better by actually negotiating, true to say isn’t it? And there can only be some merit Keeping no deal on table and supposedly coerce EU to back down, so we achieve a better deal, if the no deal threat will hurt them as much as it hurts us? Does anyone really believe No deal impacts EU as much as it will impact the UK? If so explain your reasoning to a sceptical audience all ears to learn the truth.
Because ultimately what hurts UK from No Deal is not just the indelible impact on our farming and other industry and business in such a fast forward to global Britain , but the political crisis in Britain extending into the longer term, because we wouldn’t be able to get EU to table and compromise without ourselves climbing down and sucking up exactly what they are currently asking from us. In other words, just as May and the Conservative moderates explained, we can only achieve leave deal with EU by making a compromise, and its damn harder for us to make that compromise after a no deal Brexit. We will become even more firmly stuck in a political crisis that impacts EU to far lesser degree than ourselves.
This is not a remainer argument, this is an argument any staunch leaver with more than three active brain cells can make. No deal is certainly not the end of it. It is not closure and move on. No deal isn’t actually an answer to anything, it’s a billboard to the world of our failure to achieve that answer. A symbol of failure etched forever into British history.
Though Corbyn said today he would back an election regardless despite Blair warning Corbyn Boris had set an 'elephant trap' for him
"In a few days time there will be a European summit that will determine our fate. Only one of two people can go to that summit: me or Jeremy Corbyn. I will be resolute that if we do not get a good deal for Britain, we will come out regardless. Jeremy Corbyn will fold like a wet lettuce. Every vote for me will strengthen my hand in the negotiations."
Is he a Great Man or an unprincipled and essentially vacuous lump of privilege?
Hard to say right now but time will tell.
It feels very Brexits means Brexit

Did it taste 200 times better than a £50 bottle, or 500 times better than a £20 bottle.
Even wine experts can only do a little bit better than 50/50 guessing when comparing a £50 or £10 bottle of wine in blind tasting.
Exactly it is just for rich twunts to try and make themselves feel important
You ignore one thing though. If we annul the referendum vote with revoke, or a 2nd referendum, that’s a big fat signal to the world that British democracy is over.
You really can't understand such a simple concept?
Seems clear to me. And clearly being well briefed to the media.
There’s clearly a strategy. Get MPs so desperate they eventually agree to a new deal, offered by a spooked EU. Whether it works is moot.
What you’re seeing is tactics. Which vary from day to day, like skirmishes in a larger war.
This is all for the general public, who do NOT want another election.
He is basically going to spin it as "look what those bad, nasty MP's made me do".
Doesn't want to get the blame for yet another election.
You still can’t use that line in an election. It won’t work - it looks inconsistent.
I am not sure what the hoo-ha was about ?
The mistake is he has gone too far and made it very easy for those who have no time for Corbyn to vote Labour rather than LD/Green in Lab-Tory marginals.

Wow. Get that guy on a cure for a cancer and time travel, that's what I say.
Wasted on all this trivia.
