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.

Back then in 2004 such an arrangement was common and there was rarely any need of industrial tribunals. You went to work and when the work dried up you sought work elsewhere.
Casual workers are still often unofficially paid on the same basis. Courts do not take the side of such workers.
When you sat on a tribunal did you actually describe someone's losing their job as a 'tale of woe' directly to their face?
If not perhaps you should exercise the same discretion on here and similarly if circumstances prevail that bring you into direct contact with someone who's lost his livelihood.
You might think you're being smart but those who've lost their jobs will not if you attempt to mock them.
So people who don't pay their taxes?

Johnson attempted to con colleagues into believing he was serious about obtaining a deal and gaming Parliament by prorogation in order to force through a no deal Brexit. It backfired on him, he’s lost his majority and he is no longer in charge. It’s not a cunning plan, it’s a major strategic error.

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.

Everything is possible but it all depends on the girl in question. If she is focused and motivated then you’re money and efforts will be well spent. But if she is not you are wasting both time and money.

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.

I think Baldrick could have devised a better “cunning plan” than Dominic Cummings ... Boris has lost the plot and lost control of events ... his only option is to deliver a deal and try to get it through Parliament ... good luck with that.

You get a bit sick listening to moaning leavers, who support every dirty trick in the book if it serves their purpose but cry foul at Remainers employing the same tactics.
Given their love of War analogies, it appears they “don’t like it up them”.

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 ...

Another miscalculation. Johnson has been doing well in the polls because he’s been running around campaigning and throwing money around, while the opposition have been on the beach. He looked like a winner ... until lying about the reasons for prorogation and lying about attempting to get a deal, described by Cummings as a “sham”. He’s looking rattled and more like a loser each day, he’s being exposed as a charlatan in Parliament and he’s lost support from “deal” supporting Tories. He’ll be wiped out in Scotland and lose seats to the Liberals ... even Corbyn is looking in better shape.
My prediction is a coalition and a second referendum. And if that happens Brexit is dead.

a) leave with no deal if necessary

Of course, remaining cannot be an option.

19 minutes ago, JonnyF said:You mean, "engineer" a No Deal Brexit by getting a massive majority for a No Deal Brexit from the electorate?
You wanted a vote, and now you're admitting you'd get hammered in a General Election by a Pro Leave party ????. I'd say your democratic mask is slipping, except it's already dropped to the floor.
Engineer by changing the date of the election or some other tom foolery. Everyone in parliament knows that Johnson cannot be trusted ... even his ex wife knows that!
But bear in mind that Johnson has just alienated every Tory voter who would want to leave with a deal. The Lib Dems will take marginal seats off him in the South and he will be slaughtered in Scotland. He's been running around this last month campaigning whilst everyone else has been on holiday, throwing money around like a two week visitor to Pattaya. Now he has a little opposition he's crumbling, not looking like a winner, engaged in a "sham" negotiation with the EU, lying about his motives for closing down parliament ... when "no deal" is off the table he's electorally finished.

It will be rejected until "no deal" is off the table, parliamentarians will not give Johnson the opportunity to game the system and engineer a "no deal" Brexit. Then there will be a GE.

What options are left for British PM Johnson on Brexit?
in World News
Posted
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.
