Brexit

[dimejinky99]

Labours problem is its base is literally split 50/50 on leave or remain. They’re going to lose no matter what position they take so as laughable and self defeating as it they’ve taken an extended sit on the fence as a position. The biggest and ongoing open goal in all british political history and they’re shooting themselves in both feet and running the opposite direction away from the goal.
It’s astonishing.

The Supreme Court gives its judgement tomorrow morning on whether Boris proroguing parliament was illegal.
Well see the whole thing get weirder from tomorrow.

Boris is also up to his neck in trouble over a woman he allegedly was having an affair with, who he brought on several trade tips and got her £100k in funding from British entrepreneur board...yet she’s Living in America and it’s an American business.

The media in the U.K. seem to finally be doing their job and not letting it drop.

[dimejinky99]

Oh wow. the Supreme Court finding the prorogue was illegal.

This should be curtains for Johnson.

[dimejinky99]

Pretty much

[dimejinky99]

[dimejinky99]

Bercow on point. Recalling Parliament immediately

Prime ministers questions is going to be explosive. Johnson will have to stand there and get torn asunder.

[Anders]

Very interesting. Wonder what will happen next. Will Boris be the new Trump, and get away with anything?

[dimejinky99]

Johnson insisted prorogation of Parliament was nothing to do with Brexit, why are he and Brexiters saying this ruling is about stopping Brexit?

[McParadigm]

Probably because it tells them how a court date over the no deal extension will go.

[dimejinky99]

Meanwhile UK are back to trying to strong arm Ireland and pressuring other EU members
As well as targeting them with propaganda basically

[dimejinky99]

I’d say this is kind of likely. Johnson is meeting Varadkar this afternoon at the UN so unless the DUP are getting dropped and NI only backstop, this could be likely

Would their base still be split in half if they had a more vigorous pro-Remain leader instead of Corbyn?

[dimejinky99]

Could well be he’s replaced within weeks of a caretaker PM is to be installed. No one in HOC would vote for Corbyn as caretaker PM. Look to Keir Starmer id say.

Just so I understand, do you think the Labour 50/50 split lingers even if there is a change in leadership?

Well it won’t matter in HoC it will only matter when the election happens. And their success or failure at the ballot box will depend on whatever action the Labour leader, whomever it may be, has taken.


It’s all in so much flux and chaos who knows.

Corbyn just started his speech at the Labour Party conference.

Maybe. Just maybe. Given today’s events he’ll actually pick a position

[bune]

[dimejinky99]

Brilliant.

[Norah]

yeah that's fantastic

[dimejinky99]

Oh wow.

Johnson was on the phone from NYC to the Queen. For 30 minutes.
Rumours abound he’s resigning tomorrow. Downing st say he isn’t.

He’s addressing parliament tomorrow.

Would love to have been able to hear that conversation, she’s undoubtedly furious. Not sure but think she can actually fire him.
That would be something

[dimejinky99]

Financial Times calling for him to resign
