Tut tut Meds, you missed an open goal there!...

The opening night of Seabag's new home themed restaurant Couch Potatoes doesn't prove to be a success, as the denizens of CG decide they might as well stay at home and order a Deliveroo... Have you got an electrical certificate for this place? enquired Dulwich Basil Brush

The Brextremists are happy to No Deal by any means necessary, and so should the anti-No Dealers. It shouldn't really matter who leads a temp caretaker Gov if they all agree they want to stop No Deal and get an extension for a GE and/or referendum. I can understand Corbyn's wish to lead it as he's the LOTO with the most seats, and it will look good for him going into No. 10 even for a short period, equally the right wing press and Brextremists would self-combust. Every cloud etc...

Recently published, might have to get one... :)

Oof, here's comes another... The irony of blue passports produced by a French company and printed in Poland that cannot be guaranteed to be imported into the UK because a no deal Brexit means that no trade agreement will be in place to allow the blue passports to enter the UK.

There's a game theory that Johnson, rather than scaring the EU into a last minute deal with threats of No Deal, is actually deliberately scaring MPs so he can later offer up May's WA one more time nearer the deadline. It would have a much better chance of passing and he would've met his pledge of leaving by 31/10 ''by any means necessary''. A long shot and wouldn't be popular with the ERG headbangers (who Cummings hates by the way), but it fits in with Cummings' strategic thinking. This is a good article on the ways and means Parliament can still prevent a No Deal... https://www.politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/08/13/psychological-warfare-over-no-deal-masks-a-strategic-vulnera

I realise that No Deal is the legal default should a deal not be passed, I've had to stress that point on here many times in the past. But that doesn't mean No deal has to happen, there are mechanisms to at least delay it. Since May was booted out the Tory party have been actively choosing the No Deal route in order to save their party. Pointing your finger and saying it's Remain MPs fault is like blaming the gunsmith for making the gun...

If No Deal happens it will be because of one reason only, the Tory party putting party before country...

I have long felt that in order to fully exorcise Brexit once and for all, No Deal has to happen, otherwise there will always be the blame game, ''We didn't get a clean Brexit'' etc etc, and as you say let them own their shit and explain it away. But the damage it would cause at home and abroad, socially and economically, is too great to not and try to resist it. Feck 'em. Going back to Hemingway's last post, I have no issue with Remain MPs who voted against the WA, they have done it with good intentions, the politicians I have come to despise are the Rudds and Hancocks who in the space of days have gone from saying how bad No Deal would be to saying it'll be ok, for no other reason than pursuing their own political careers. It's these people that if No Deal happens will have a special place in Hell...

Hindsight's a wonderful thing. I don't think No Deal will happen anyway, Cummings is engineering a 'people versus politicians' GE...

The Telegraph is nothing more than a Johnson propaganda rag these days. it's actually quite embarrassing for a so called quality newspaper to prostitute itself like that, and probably explains the dramatic fall in sales...

Week 1 points and table...

Let's not forget that ?1bn of that isn't 'new money' as Bozo the Clown keeps saying, it's money the NHS has been stockpiling due to Gov spending caps...

There will be a GE no matter what happens. His strategy is if he No Deals then that kills off the BP and he has a much better chance of winning a GE, question then is who do Remainers vote for, especially if Labour and Lib Dems have been seen to enable No Deal, which is looking likely if they won't form a temp GNU to stop ND...

The irony of Short Cummings is that he is an unelected bureaucrat wielding unaccountable power over the British nation, the very thing Brexiters accused the EU of. Someone who is also prepared to ignore parliamentary sovereignty, another thing Brexiters allegedly fought for. Brexit has become nothing more than a political jihadi cult...

tl;dr...We survived the war

I don't think people have lost interest, Parliament's in recess and people want to forget about it for a bit and try and enjoy the summer, a recharging of the batteries before it all kicks off in Sept...
