Corbyn says priority is preventing no-deal Brexit

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said on Wednesday that it would be appropriate to trigger a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Boris Johnson only when a no-deal Brexit has clearly been averted.

 

Corbyn said his priority was averting a no-deal Brexit with legislation and only when that was clear would he be ready to trigger a vote of no confidence. He said he would be happy to have an election once no-deal Brexit had been averted.

 

“Quite simply our first priority is to prevent a no-deal exit from the EU,” Corbyn told BBC Radio 4.

 

“At that point it would be appropriate to move a vote of no confidence to force the prime minister to resign.”

 

He said Johnson should apologise to Queen Elizabeth and to the British people after the Supreme Court ruled he had acted unlawfully by suspending parliament for five weeks in the run-up to Brexit.

If Johnson really wanted an election as much as he pretends, he could just ask the EU for an extension and all parties would happily agree to an election. It’s pretty clear it’s just another of his scams. 

Sounds like corbyns bottled it again regarding a general election.

Corbyn is a moron and a disaster for the Labour Party. With his historic low poll ratings one has to wonder why the party sucks it up? 70s socialism isn't going to work in 2019 and fix stuff. If they had a more sensible/moderate leader that wasn't peddling hardcore communism then they would clear-up ... pathetic really how detached they are at the moment and such a weak Tory Government has a lead over them, after all that has happened recently. Pure Kafka man.

The irony is that Corbyn is a Brexiteer too if you look at his previous ... just that he will compromise his principles of decades to get into number 10. A shameless liar in reality. He will never be PM and Liebour have to change leader to get elected ... simple as.

Fair enough. But who would you support? Where do we go from here?

Corbyn is a Traitorous Coward and will never be Prime Minister.  The only reason he has his current job is because nobody else in the Party wants it !

Yeah, OK. If Labour are smart and then change leader, plus hold off an election till then OK. But that would require a new leader to emerge with guts and popularity to make it happen and that seems sadly far off, as Momentum seems to be controlling things at the moment, with the union bosses towing the line as they have been promised the levels of power from the past. Problem is, this isn't going to fly with the general public in most cases. If there was a leadership change then, yes, many would go for it ... but Corbyn is not the man for the job and lacks wide scale appeal in the general public and isn't your average hardworking guys choice on a lot of fronts. He (Corbyn) is a threat on lots of fronts, like taxing of the giving money to your kids, bettering yourself through hard work, owning more than one house, taxes in general ... that sends a shiver down many a person's spine on all political fronts as it invalidates the idea of you working hard to better yourself and help your family and a lot of folks are scared of that.

 

If Labour stick to this 70s communism stuff them I'll vote Tory, not that I really like them but they are the lesser evil to be honest and Swinson has lost her mind, so a lib dem vote is out of the question. It is sad that the only reasonable vote is a Tory one at the moment and I never thought I'd be in this position. The lunatics have taken over the asylum to be honest. Guess the only other option is to abstain but I don't recommend that to anyone as the apathy party often lets in the wrong people to power.  

 

There is nothing inherently wrong with a moderate Labour center-left/ Conservative center-right government of any hue or a mix of both depending on the issue which would mean a center government ... but it seems we are a long way off from either and I don't pretend to know the answers to everything. I will just comment that the extremes of both sides only offer failure, in truth, and that all political roads eventually lead back to the middle ground. Most people are a little center-left or a little center-right depending on the subject ... so, for example, center-left on social services/healthcare (NHS) or general liberty/privacy and maybe center-right on economy and law enforcement. Most normal people are a mix of the two. 

 

Well, for what that's worth ... my 2 pence.

  Conservative Prime Minister has been proved to have acted illegally .

     The only reason he is in his current job , is because nobody else in the tory party , wants it..

    It is very unlikely the EU, leaders will meet bonkers again..

Priority is getting a second referendum so we'll get back to you.

They would be better off forcing a referendum prior to an election irrespective of an extension agreement.

Remain would get blown out of the water at a second referendum, which is never going to happen anyway.

Comrade Corbyn and Labour will get blown out of the water when the next general election comes. It’s just a matter of when.

Second referendum is a possibility if the opposition play their cards appropriately.

Right now, he's in the right place for no-deal blockage. So sorry that upsets the Hard Brexit crowd.

All these Hard Brexiteer distractions and deflections. All with one purpose in mind and that is to stop no-deal running into the ground. Make silly predictions, make things up, throw mud around, have a mini tantrum; its all second rate effort to drag others away from the main prize. And there is one thing standing in their way: loss of Parliamentary majority. Cannot go through it, cannot get past it. Loss of control of Parliamentary business. Its making them mad. Enjoy the show.

Deniers are not great lovers of facts.

UK politics has turned into a strange thing in which a Tory PM and his cabinet are doing all they can, much of which is unlawful, to bring about a Brexit with the maximum damage to the U.K. economy, and UK businesses, while the most left wing Labour leader for generations is doing all he can to prevent the Tories and their no-deal Brexit harming the U.K. economy and U.K. businesses.

These are terrible terrible people.  (But Hitler would have been proud of them.)

 

Here is the next PM after Boris resigns (as he honourably must since he has told us that if he doesn't get the UK out by Oct 31, he'd rather die in a ditch.

Geoffrey Cox would be a very worthy successor.
