<Brexit>

Labout to finally back election on December 12th? Hilariously Corbyn claiming that his conditions for taking no deal off the table have been met, despite literally nothing changing since yesterday.

Edit: hearing that Labour will also try and change the law so that 16 and 17 year olds will be allowed to vote, and EU citizens with settled status. "If the voters won't vote for us we'll find other voters who will".

Edit 2: Organisation that runs UK elections tweeted this yesterday, reminding students that they can register to vote in two places, but please, pretty please only vote once in a general election. Hmm...

It looks like the push is to have Brexit day on a date after the EU tax avoidance is enshrined in Britsh law, as i predicted.

I’ll be amazed if anything happens short of a bloody revolt. I don’t think the remain side kicks and screams this much to give it up now. My intuition about this situation, just watching the way politicians are talking and dealing with this is, Brexit will never happen. It will always be a one step forward one step back thing. Which is very sad if elites go this way to stop an initiative that was voted by the people.

Second referendum. All the evidence points to mass cheating. Even those that worked on the leave campaign came out as whistle blowers. It was all about US and Russian interests taking out their main competitor, the EU, and ripping the UK away and putting it into a state of vassalage to the US.

Boris Johnson abandons Brexit bill in new push for December election.

Johnson will abandon attempts to push his Brexit bill through this parliament in a bid to get the Liberal Democrats and the SNP to agree to an election before Christmas – although the parties are still in dispute over the potential date.

Humiliating defeat for Jeremy Corbyn as the UK looks set for 12th Dec election...

... but will this be a repeat of 2017? No doubt the remoaner media will be scrutinising the Conservative manifesto hard, and the Labour campaign machine should not be underestimated. Ordinarily the Lords would rubber stamp their approval for this election but will they this time? Will John Bercow finally quit on Thursday? Hold onto your butts folks.

How is it a defeat for Corbyn if he made the Labour party vote for it?

Half the Labour party rebelled against Corbyn and didn't vote for the general election yesterday. It's a defeat because he was forced into making an embarassing u-turn by other parties - the LibDems and SNP.

I gotta disagree, it looks 2 steps forward 1 step back to me. Its like a political game of rugby where the only way to gain ground is to throw the ball backward.

The ballot boxes are going to punish them hard when it comes to an election, its only because people can't afford to get on the streets and protest that they've gotten away with it in my view...and most people I know on Facebook.

Boris Johnson has screwed up though, he's still angled for a deal... which doesn't give us a clean break from the justice system or out of touch human right laws which protect every illegal migrant (whether they're actual refugees, which we should have a partial duty to, or people just wanting to make some money by sneaking in on trucks etc).

Also, definitely don't read BBC News if you want a balanced opinion on it <3

He is making exactly the same plays as May.

Use the threat of 'No Deal' to push through a deal, hold a general election to try create a parliament that will support the deal.

Obviously triggering article 50 and holding a general election didn't help TM, she just got hit with extensions, she got hit with leavers being too fussy which let remainers quash any deal put to vote.

We'll see if things play out differently for BJ.

I honestly believe JC could have had last election if he campaigned honestly based on two facts: 1) he is a lifetime eurosceptic so leavers could trust him to leave and 2) as a Labour leader he could be trusted to represent the people; protecting rights they had gained from Europe which would likely be stripped under a Conservative party Brexit, which would go some way to allaying remainer Brexit fears.

The fact he didn't campaign for this People's Brexit (instead of the disaster capitalists one we've been facing down) proves to me he has no intention of being PM and simply prefers the role of leader of the opposition.
