What the hell was that speech.. like a bad North Korean propaganda video.

 

He’s absolutely finished as PM before he’s even started.

 

THIS!!

 

Oh LORD at that please leave my town vid!!

 

Apparently the Trumpian Twit has said he would rather die in a ditch than not have a brexshit on Oct 31. Why that date in particular is another mystery. I assume this is like his threat to lie down in front of the Heathrow bulldozers. Instead, he went on holiday hurr hurr jolly good Eton show hurr. BBTory likes to forget that bit and repeat the lie that he vehemently fought against a 3rd runway. What a joke.

 

A quick reminder to the woe is Boris crowd: he and his staff reportedly discussed trying to use trans rights as a hedge issue in the north to win seats. Oh yes. But his dog! Focus on that instead!

I cannot. You "chose not to be contacted by the board messenger", i.e blocked. Sooo can you comment about Kath?

 

 

I definitely haven't blocked you so don't know why you're getting that message.

Peter Oborne in the Mail saying he needs to sack Cummings immediately but won't.

 

"Boris is finished, if he gets an extension the Brexit Party will destroy him, if he crashes out his own party will destroy him.

 

He really has no option left but to resign and rumours are that he'll do that rather than seek an extension"

Could we see Boris throwing in the towel rather than seeking another A50 extension? Exciting times ahead. :o

 

This saga's not over yet folks.*Goes to buy popcorn*

Omg is he going to resign you think Common Sense?! Wouldn't surprise me AT ALL.

There are rumours that The Tories are going to submit a VoNC themselves :rofl:

 

Cummings believes he is a superhero. Won the referendum through some good planning admittedly and tapping in to emotions with lies, but he thinks he is a genius. Boris has definitely placed way too much faith in him. If we don't leave on 31st October, the numbers look likely that The Tories will lose The Brexit vote. I just don't see how Johnson comes back from this, even if Brexit goes through. He has way too many idiots in his cabinet as well who aren't fit to look after pets never mind run the bloody country.

Cummings is from the north east, and so he knew what message to put out based on what he heard from the deprived areas, PLUS he got a LOT of practice with the regional assembly referendum here in 2004.

 

Lmao where are these rumours from?! That's what happens when you try to become a hard far right dictator and purge your mps :rofl:

That had occurred to me, too. :lol:

 

Maybe Boris himself could instigate it... :P

He says he'd rather die in a ditch than ask for or accept an extension so who knows what will happen. Some political commentators say he could just throw in the towel. :(

That "die in a ditch" remark on the surface might seem like a ridiculous thing for our PM to say, but I think it could actually turn out to be a shockingly popular unifying proposal!

:lol:

 

It's just him saying absolute crap for votes. He didn't lie down in front of Heathrow bulldozers either. He fled and hid from them on holiday instead.

 

The police chief is furious with Bojo the Clown copying Trump's hard man speeches by putting the police behind him as a prop. He said Bojo lied (surprised?), saying the speech was for police recruitment only. Instead it was an election speech. He politicised the police even more - and people already don't trust them! Especially after Hillsborough. More recently, just this week, they arrested Quakers protesting by worshipping in open. It is an offence to disrupt worship.

The PM has to either accept the law and request an extension to Article 50 or resign.

 

If he resigns of course there may be an election called because no party or leader will command a majority.

If Bojo calls a VONC in HIMSELF, what would happen? Would it be a simple majority - say, everyone but him and his chronies abstain, and it's say 270 for a VONC, 40 against, the rest abstained. Would that be enough to kick the Tories out and cause a gen election? Of even if just 2 voted for it and 1 against?

Yes, just a simple majority required - it's not unheard of for a Government to hold a confidence motion, think John Major used it in 1993 to get the Tories to back the Maastricht Treaty.

 

It would start a 14 day period where a new majority within the current parliament would be sought, and if that failed then a GE would be triggered. It's possible that this may be used to seek a GE but it gives the Opposition an opportunity to form a coalition of national unity government of course.

So that would put the opposition in the uncomfortable position of voting against it and possibly causing a GE, although I'm sure ALL parties plus conscious objector Tories expelled from the party would have the numbers for a national unity government, or voting FOR it to avoid him getting his election and therefore forcing through no deal through inaction.

It would be difficult for the Opposition parties to vote against a confidence motion - but yeah, they then have the rest of Monday (after the VoNC) to form their own government.

 

Think it would be an unlikely option for the Tories, but anything is possible !
