Boris Johnson's Government has lost it's majority as one Tory MP defected to the LibDems. A bill to take over Parliamentary business is expected this evening which if it is passed would allow a Bill to be put forward tomorrow forbidding the Government from leaving the EU with no deal.
Apparently yesterday Johnson threatened an October 14th election if such a law were passed. However this requires a 2/3rds majority in the Commons which the Government's opponents seem unlikely to agree it as the PM could then decide to delay the election until after the 31st October to achieve his no deal Brexit. He did after all say he would not prorogue Parliament but then did, he said he would not push for an election but now threatens it so why trust him on the date of an election? There is clearly no confidence in this PM or Government but still more hurdles for the combined Opposition to get over before they stop this insanity.
P.S This is the proposed Bill the Opposition wish to pass; https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1...650621953.htmlLast edited by snapper; 03 Sep 19,, 17:46.

^He calls it Jeremy Corbyn's surrender bill. Longer version here
He's channeling Churchill as expected.
They took away his majority so they could pass this bill, if it does he will call a snap election on Oct 14 and seek a new mandate.
This will be the binding Brexit vote.Last edited by Double Edge; 03 Sep 19,, 20:27.

In the first test Boris Johnson's Government has failed and the House could well turn him out of his temporary lodgings.Last edited by snapper; 03 Sep 19,, 22:28.

Churchill is long gone, More like he's channeling the largest democratic vote in British history, with a 1 million majority.
Richard Burgon just made a total Tit of himself , saying he would negotiate with the EU to remain if Labour won the next Gen Elec...and then didn't know what to do after it was pointed out to him that the Uk hadn't left yet and what was he negotiating for...RAOFLAOLast edited by Freyr; 03 Sep 19,, 23:29.

It has now been confirmed that those Conservative MPs who voted against the Government will have the whip removed - 21 MPs in all a thus effectively thrown out of the Parliamentary Conservative Party. This would now put a Labour/LibDem and SNP Government in power with a majority of 5.

That's how you know he's on the level.
