LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s opposition Labour Party said on Monday that a vote of no confidence in the government of Prime Minister Boris Johnson was a possibility and that it was talking to other parties in parliament on options.

 

When asked by the BBC if there would be a vote of no confidence, Labour’s Diane Abbott replied: “Who has confidence in Boris Johnson apart from the people around him?”

 

Abbott, the Labour Party’s interior minister-in-waiting, said it was above her pay grade to say if there would be such a vote but that “it had to be an option.”

 

“We are talking to all of the other parties in parliament and if we move for a vote of no confidence we want to do it with confidence that we can win it,” Abbott said.

Just give them a year or two to make a decision. They're not sure if they support Leave or remain yet.

 

PS is that you or Jimmy Saville in your avatar pic? 

Let the people decide in a general election with one issue at the centre of it: deal/no deal/remain. 

 

PS: I do not care for snide remarks attempting to link me to pedophile scum.

So you are saying Worzel has a cabbage under his jacket?

Anyway as a distraction from a very difficult question, that is likely to provide more questions than answers and as this is the Glorious 12th the Labour party has moved on to the very important issue of banning another sport of the gentry.

It is the awful question of who is worse, Johnson or Corbyn. I personally don't know!

Caroline Lucas has called for an emergency all female cabinet to block a no-deal Brexit, Corbyn will still be sat on the fence on May 1st, Labour day.

I've seen them in the Borders, piling out of their range rovers, dressed up in brand new tweeds, waddling 500yards up to the butts on the moor, where many even get the keepers to reload their shotguns for them. Not actually gentry (A dying breed) just rich scum pretending to be. Whats the difference between a range rover and a hedgehog?.............pricks on the outside.

 

 

 

However, reassuring to see the LP focussing on the big issue of the day for a change! Resentment politics - in this case disguised as care for the environment. Let's re-ignite the class war on the grouse moors, choose a battleground where neither of the protagonists comes out bathed in glory. I can't imagine that there is anything more important that the party needs to think about.  Oh ....a vote of no confidence........glad they remembered that.

Oh dear, I didn’t make this simplistic enough, for those who are easily confused, let me explain. 

 

An issue is the problem/argument at the centre of a debate. 

 

An option or choice is a possible solution to that issue. These can vary in number. 

 

I really thought that that it was obvious I was putting forward possible options that could form a solution. 

 

Foolish of me to assume everyone could understand that.

Regardless of anyone's views on Brexit, Johnson and his crack-pot adviser cannot be allowed to suspend parliament to frustrate the UK's Sovereign body from doing its job. No PM can be allowed to set that precedent. Boris is currently playing for time and running the clock down.

 

The last person to suspend parliament was Charles 1. Worked out well for him!

Apparently he was OK for a while, "Charles 1 walked and talked half an hour after his head was cut off". 

The famous missing comma, sometimes known as the chicken comma. A colon would have been better though.
