“a vote against no deal is truer to Conservative tradition than anyone who traipses through the lobbies out of fear, opportunism or simply unthinking loyalty"

MPs on Newsnight saying that they won’t vote for a General Election unless there is a cast iron guarantee that the UK can’t leave the EU without a deal during any election delay.

 

The wonderful Emily Maitliss has just told a Tory Brexiteer that threatening a no-deal exit is about as effective as a teenager slamming his bedroom door! 😂

Corbyn should tell Boris that Labour will vote for a GE, after he’s been to Brussels and done as he’s been told.

 

Until that point, why would anyone trust him?

I’d love to see Corbyn tell Johnson that he’ll discuss an election on November 2nd.

 

That will put him in a bind.

 

There aren’t many leavers on here tonight, are there?

So Bojo lost his first vote over this Brexit matter just like William Pitt the Younger.

Rumpur has it that Rees-Mogg was present at both these demonstrations of a shower of glory.

'The first duty of a member of Parliament is to do what he thinks in his faithful and disinterested judgement is right and necessary for the honour and safety of Great Britain. His second duty is to his constituents, of whom he is the representative but not the delegate. Burke's famous declaration on this subject is well known. It is only in the third place that his duty to party organization or programme takes rank. All these three loyalties should be observed, but there in no doubt of the order in which they stand under any healthy manifestation of democracy.' - Winston Churchill

 

Well done to the MPs that followed Winstons words in the face of deselection.

I assume they're waiting for Dominic Cummings to send out the party line - although he'll find it hard to spin this one.

 

Presumably it will be Corbyn "running away from a GE"  despite a clear statement in Parliament to sort no deal first - obvious no deal Brexiteers are obvious.

For those claiming that up to 20 Labour Leave supporters would support the government, they will be disappointed to learn that there were only two.

 

No prizes for guessing who they were.

 

Phillip Lee, the Tory who defected to the Lib Dems was asked tonight when he decided to leave the Conservatives. He said that it was only last night when he attended his local association and members were saying to him ‘Let Scotland go. Let Ireland go. We don’t care about the union anymore. We just want Brexit at whatever cost.

 

He said that it was no longer the party he had been a member of all his life.

Just so as not to leave them out of the conversation I offer the following words of wisdom culled from previous posts.

“Democracy

Will of the people

No Deal is the default position

We knew what we voted for.

I voted Remain but.....”

There are so many twists and turns so I am far from celebrating yet.

A general election will not sort out this mess, but a second more specifically worded referendum could.

"Electile disfunction"

When you ask for a general election after sacking so many of your MP's that you cannot get a 2/3 vote, and cannot force a vote of confidence in yourself, and Corbyn laughs it down in 30 seconds.
