Even Jo Johnson has now resigned.  When you can't even rely on your own family to back you you know you really are a weasel.

You really couldn't make this up - truth is stranger than fiction. This is not so much a Boris bounce but a Boris splat. The Rebel Alliance must keep the pressure up and harry and wound the injured beast at every turn and opportunity.

And what are the few pro-Brexit economists now arguing?
They have been mute for months. It's difficult to argue against the growing evidence...

No much point them saying very much, the Remainers won’t listen anyway, and they are not allowed much air time on Remain biased TV or MSM.
Interesting that the Bank of England is now starting to back-pedal now. “Erm, everybody has been making preparations, so it won’t be as bad as our previous predictions.”

Very soothing, indeed. ????

"Governor Mark Carney told the Treasury select committee that the Bank now believes GDP will fall by 5.5% in the worst-case scenario following a no-deal Brexit - less than the 8% contraction it predicted in last November."

One truly calculated conclusion on the outcome of a G/E are the betting odds available by UK gambling companies .

Currently William Hill say No overall majority  4/6

                                              Tory majority  6/4

                                          Labour majority  10/1

                             Lib Dem & Brexit both at   33/1

           

So as we can see there is a fine balance for the Tories to run the H/O/C with a workable majority . 

BJ will have to solve his whip removal decision or he will be in a possible position of losing 21 valuable seats . Did the 21 go against their constituents original Brexit vote ? Is there an allegiance where their electorate would back them as Independents ? 

 

If a G/E is voted out on Monday ( as it seems will happen ) that will open a new turn of events and in that case I would not be surprised to see a vote of no confidence in BJ tabled in order that his post would be filled by a new Tory leader who can legally call for a G/E under UK political law . 

Strangely , J Corbyn is the favourite at 2/1 to be the next Prime Minister .  We expats had better remind him of his promise to unfreeze expats pensions if he succeeds .
