Re: [Update 2] PM Boris forms a government
Also, there are plenty of Labour backbenchers who voted against the WA three times and are now waking up to the fact that all they may have achieved is to bring about the default alternative outcome, namely No Deal. If any kind of revised WA is put before the Commons, don’t be surprised to see it carried if not by Labour votes, but by a lot of Labour abstentions.
The ERG won’t be able to prevent a deal - if one is forthcoming of course.

No 10 refuses to rule out election shortly after 31 October Brexit.

Quote:
Speculation about the timing of an autumn election is rife as Downing Street tries to figure out how to deal with the fallout if Tory rebels join with opposition parties to vote down the government.

Quote:
No 10 did not deny that this could be a possible course of action in the event of losing a no-confidence vote, after the Spectator mooted the possible date of a post-Brexit election as 1 November and the FT reported it would happen in the “days after”.

Pretty inevitable l would say.

Well we did not need a election when Theresa May called one and that did not end very well did it as we have had ensuing chaos since..

Quote from The Sun:The Tories have opened up a nine point lead over Labour as they enjoy a ‘Boris bounce’ in the wake of the new Prime Minister taking office.
According to a new poll, the Conservatives are now head on 33 per cent with Labour on 22 per cent just one point ahead of a resurgent Lib Dems.

Boris has certainly hit the ground running. A total contrast to the stalled govenment under lackluster May.
Full results and commentary on red link.

Strange - the YouGov site for that poll shows Tories on 31%, Labour on 22%, and LibDems on 21%.
https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics...em-21-brex-14-
Quote:
The latest YouGov/Times voting intention survey sees the Conservatives continue to enjoy the benefits of the Boris Bounce, with the party's 31% vote share leading Labour's 22% and the Lib Dems' 21%.
Elsewhere, the Brexit Party holds on 14% of the vote and the Greens likewise have 7%.
Boris Johnson is still the public's preferred Prime Minister over Jeremy Corbyn, with twice as many people choosing the former (39%) over the latter (19%). A further 37% of people can't choose between the two.

Re: [Update 2] PM Boris forms a government
Looks like a typo as the headline to the piece says a 9 point lead.

There isn't time to discuss, negotiate, agree, and implement any currently non-existent deal before Oct 31.

Jeremy Corbyn has urged the UK's most senior civil servant to intervene to prevent a no-deal Brexit happening during a general election campaign.
...
He has written to Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark Sedwill saying such a move would be an "anti-democratic abuse of power".

Agreeing to a currently non-existent deal would be an even greater abuse of power.

He's promised to spend on everything, borrow it all and has so far delivered nothing. God knows what his supporters would say if was a Labour PM doing this. His fall will be even quicker than his rise.
Back in the real world our economy has just contracted, wonder why ?

Re: [Update 2] PM Boris forms a government
Project Fear in a recession could actually be quite an entertaining watch. Johnson standing there saying everything will be fine as everything collapses around him.
