Rayvin 8367 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Having said that, it does at least sound like Labour are taking all the various threats of moving dates and ignoring laws quite seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 8367 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I still think he's just a figurehead, sadly. Whenever anything relevant happens that he needs to pivot on, he trots out Labour's previously held position, despite it no longer having relevancy, and then two days later he's rolled out with a more nuanced version of the position that they've programmed him with.

Gemmill 63253 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Meeting between Johnson and the rebel alliance didn't go well by the sound of it. He didn't reckon on Hammond the rebel MP being quite so street tuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 8367 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Opposition parties won't vote for GE until Benn passes - so there goes BoJo's bid to shaft us tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 8367 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 If the amendment passes, and the GE vote fails, can the government be subject to a vote of no confidence anyway? And could a Labour/SNP/Lib Dem coalition take over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 8367 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 So this has to be the play for Remain, surely. We can get the motherfucking referendum that way. Labour can walk away without blame cos the people will decide no matter what, and then we can go on from there with the Tories in ruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 39251 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 It would most likely have to come the other side of prorogation though and after a VONC rather than what Johnson will be proposing tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 27792 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Conservatives to go for a VONC in itself, with the opposition successfully opposing at this rate.
