Who would want to take on the top gig with this shit storm raging ?
'Come the hour, cometh the man'...
edit: its Dominic Raab and his not-injunction
the clown Clegg's attempt to fetter the PMs discretion has been brushed aside, the FTPA is a dead duck as wiki makes clearI don't think they can just call an election - that was the point of the Fixed Term Parliaments Act. Either 2/3 of Parliament must vote for an early GE, or a vote of no confidence in the present Government (which I think also needs a 2/3 majority) has to be passed.
On 18 April 2017, Prime Minister Theresa May announced her intention to call a general election for 8 June 2017, bringing the United Kingdom's 56th Parliament to an end after two years and 32 days. She required two thirds of the Commons (at least 434 MPs) to support the motion to allow it to pass.[13] Jeremy Corbyn, the Leader of the Opposition and the Labour Party indicated he was in support of an election. The motion was passed the following day by 522 votes to 13 votes.[14]
tosh to what?Tosh
I don't see that happening. I hope to Beelzebub it doesn'tThe toires would have to lose control of parliament. That would only happen if a dozen tories defected (or the DUP pulled the plug - but they wont) - but we are some way from that. It could maybe happen if May ends up being replaced by Rees Mogg.

Yeh as an opportunist with no principles he's in a bindBit of "fuck you Boris". If he stays he be seen as a man of absolutely no principles. If he resigns would be seen as an opportunist in advance of a leadership bid.
I don't see that happening. I hope to Beelzebub it doesn't
Why is it nonsense?Tosh to your shrill nonsense about surely there has to be an election now
because the tories aren't going to call one.Why is it nonsense?
I don't have any major problem with the rig, but it is quite remarkable how much more of a cunt it manages to make Rees-Mogg look. And that's starting from a pretty high base already...
Has to be said splendid hat
You wont see them being sold in markets.
Dont think one would suit Boris, heads a not the right shape for one.
Who thought they'd call in last year?because the tories aren't going to call one.
a) loads of people thought they'd call one last year. they were 20 points ahead. it made sense then.Who thought they'd call in last year?
Why do you think they won't end up calling an electoin, they way things are going?

ha haa) loads of people thought they'd call one last year. they were 20 points ahead. it made sense then.
b) because no matter how fractious and unstable the current government is, it's not a Corbyn government, which is a very likely result of a general election.
searing analysis.ha ha
Righto
Like they stopped suffering under the last Labour governmentI'd like to think there's a chance we can get them out before at least 2022 so that poor people can stop suffering.
