Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[SpackleFrog]

I think the demand for such a party over the last few years was because there was an impression the Lib Dems were irreversibly tainted by their participation in the coalition government, and done for politically. Recent events have proved this not to be the case, so the likelyhood of a new neoliberal/pro EU party getting off the ground has gone from tiny to completely non-existent.

Quite possibly true - more Yellow resurgence to come?

Who knows? Neither of their leadership candidates have the communication skills of their last two leaders though, and whether their compelling European election message can survive contact with a general election remains to be seen. I think probably not.

All scenarios seem a bit mad. But if there isn't either more yellow resurgence or a new neoliberal party then I would assume that would mean the Tories stay basically in tact.

The tories know nothing of tact

Last two? You think more of Farron than I expected.

Brecow has selected the Benn/Grieve amendment designed to prevent a proroguing of Parliament in order to facilitate 'No Deal'.

Will compel May to whip her party to a position of taking control away from Parliament. Great way to shuffle off stage right.

may's position has always been to take power away from parliament - see, for example, her great fight to prevent parliament having a vote on article 50

Govt defeat in parliament just now

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

At least 6 Cabinet ministers (including Hammond and Stewart) abstained, and one (Margot James) voted for the amendment.

Normally, the abstainees would be sacked, but who knows these days. James resigned.

 

[killer b]

What's the point in sacking them today when they're getting sacked on Tuesday anyway?

Well, exactly. I expect some of them will resign just before Johnson becomes PM anyway.

He had worked for Price Waterhouse Coopers before that. That’s enough to cause concern. Asset stripping, job destroyers that they are.

[killer b]

Each new scheme more tortuously improbably than the last, all so they can ignore that when the chips are down the only thing that can stop Johnson no-dealing (if that's what he's actually planning on doing - I doubt it is) is a confidence vote.
