Winston Churchill didn't last that long but he got the job done..

If by “got the job done” you mean a no deal outcome then you are likely to be disappointed. And in the unlikely event that did happen it would only cause more chaos in the UK for many years to come ... the only sensible way out is a deal of some sort.

Now that Boris Johnson doesn’t have to dance to “Come on Arlene” the obvious choice is to isolate the backstop to NI, use the political declaration time period to work on credible “alternative arrangements” and then move on with his domestic agenda, which, as much as I dislike him, looks like a vote winner and a much better alternative to Corbyn. He also needs to reinstate the whip to the rebels. 

It’s obvious what he needs to do. The last thing he wants is to be the shortest reigning prime minister in history. 

Does the picture highlight Gucci nipple clamps?

Undertaking and driving too fast to avoid a collision. That some car or other vehicle would appear from a side road was reasonably foreseeable, as that sort of behaviour is a daily and frequent occurrence in Thailand. Drive slowly, stay in your lane and you are likely to avoid a bad outcome.

I’m surprised that you don’t teach him yourself? A little bit of research on your part and the right books are all you need.

The only way, as far as I'm aware, the only way it can be put back to the house in the same session, is via another route. i.e. Boris calls for a vote of no confidence in himself. It would be interesting to see how he words that one! I suspect that if the bill fails on Monday, so would this vote. You'd have a situation of the government voting no confidence in themselves and the opposition voting confidence in the government. Unthinkable normally, but these are't normal times.

I believe that only the official opposition can call for a no confidence vote ... but in any case Labour etc could simply vote that they have confidence ... it’s just a tactic and is largely meaningless.

Hearing that Sinn Fein may stand down and have electoral pacts with Remain parties to challenge the DUP. 

Would that mean they take their seats in Parliament? That would be interesting. I don’t like Brexit at all, but I could live with it if there is a sensible deal.

Yes well aware of that one, but was afraid to try it on her at 2 years of age, fearing I might have done some damage if I applied it too hard, everything was going through my mind, stay calm, don't panic, sheet, what if I can't dislodge it, and would have resorted to that, if the upside down shake didn't dislodge it, which it did thankfully.

Yes, a pretty terrifying experience ... but with small kids it happens quite often. With heimlich the same technique applies but with more gentle force than you would use with an adult.

Like to feel I had a small part in goading Jo Johnson as I stood outside of No 10 telling him to listen to his sister as he went in for the cabinet meeting ! Back to being a keyboard warrior now.

Good for you. Him and his sister seem like reasonable people, unlike their duplicitous and amoral brother.

What's "a last resort when an argument is lost"? Posting meaningless memes?

 

When you say that "we're done", does that mean that you are putting me on ignore again and if so, what does that mean? There seems to be some confusion on the forum regarding the definition of "ignore".

 

Thanks.

Ignore = I’ve lost the argument, if I ever had one.

Much safer to stick to Facebook memes from unknown sources ... gives us a warm feeling inside.

None of us can foretell the future, but we can at least guess what would happen if there were a Corbyn-called (finally!) election after November 1.  (I'm assuming Boris would have resigned if he had failed to extricate the UK by Oct 31.)

The Tory Party would, in the absence of a no-deal exit and with no acceptable alternative, be reduced to a rump, just like the Liberal Party in the aftermath of WW1.

The GE would be overwhelmingly won by the Brexit Party and the desired exit (as expressed by over 17 million people) would follow soon after.

 

 

The point of this forum is to post opinions on a topic, not propagate fairy tales or dreams.

The most funny thing I have read this year.

 

Corbyn knows he will lose.

 

Again self serving MP's.

Anyone with any common sense knows that it is all about keeping the UK in the EU.

 

The rest of your post is just arrogance.

If Corbyn knows that he will lose and doesn't want an election, why would he then agree to have one immediately after the 31 October 2019? Surely he wouldn't want an election at any time? 

Is it because he wants to kill Johnson's "no deal" plans ... and then have an election? 

Anyone who reads and is up to date with events knows all this ... it obviously doesn't appear on your Facebook meme's?

Read that Corbyn will wait until after 31 October ...

Not in the least worried. We dealing with the political equivalent of heroin detoxification. These 20 traitors love the EU so much more than than their own counties and constituents.

 

Onward and forward we go to freedom Oct. 31st!

Another TV Brexiteer prediction that will fail to pass.
