The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!
Honestly I can see him trying a no confidence again and again until someone kicks him out of his leadership role. The labour rebels are growing in number after these last few fuck ups.
I liked Corbyn, but he's proven to be pretty fucking bad at running a political party let alone the opposition.
Hopefully now he can give way for someone else who will fight Brexit properly, asking to either cancel it or for a second referendum.
Yeah but who?
A win by 19 is...fucking weak, but it's a win nonetheless. I wonder what'll happen next.
if she has any brain cells she'll realise how much of a failure she is but those are in short supply in parliament rn so fucked if I know
the means to an end don't matter for people who desire power, only the end
I can't believe after everything that's happened over the last two years, they still aren't even going to consider banning low-level letterboxes. Smh at what this country has become
Can't believe they're still going through with this shit
Problem is a lot of people that traditionally vote Labor also happen to be the strongest supporters of Brexit, the working class and blue collar workers etc... If they come out swinging as an anti Brexit party they'll push away more voters to shit like UKIP.
Hearing her say "we've been very clear..." and then say something not clear always annoys me
Yep it was nothing.
It is pretty funny that the ERG has given May a coup-proof shield for the next year, because they're now powerless to stop her if she decides to do an ultra-soft Norway option Brexit - which seems to be the only direction she can possibly go, short of cancelling Brexit.
Rees-Mogg confirmed earlier that he would support the government in a future confidence vote even if they went ultra-soft Brexit, to stop Corbyn getting in. So I don't really see how the ERG have literally any leverage now?
Honestly, as long as the UK stays in the EEA or some other deal that keeps us in the single market and protects freedom of movement I'll take that.
Yeah this, she's building up leaving on the 29th of March to see if she can pressure votes on her deal, once that fails she's very likely going for an extension.
You're right; a lot of people voted against Brexit explicity to end freedom of movement and May has said more than once that is one of her goals.
that's still worse than a no leave vote since you're essentially becoming subservient to the EU instead of being a full member with britain's special privilages.
See, I don't really care about Britain's special privilages.
A lot of people I know and care about and a lot of businesses are gonna get fucked because of this, and at least the EEA would mitigate some of that.
I'm doubtful any deal that allows for free movement of people would ever get through, but I can hope.
Going from full EU membership to EEA would be like voting to go from full US statehood to Puerto Rico status
the funny thing is the EU doesn't really seem to want that but they'd welcome it since it gets britain to shut up for the first time since the EU was founded.
Sorry but it's a uniquely online view that Labour supporting ref2 would be the obvious easy way out and huh why the fuck haven't they done it.

Remain vs Leave with the general public is still either a non workable majority either way or skews slightly either side, not to mention a second referendum with 3 options would be absolutely unfair in splitting the leave vote.
There was a YouGov or Survation poll a few days ago that showed with the general public, Labour support would increase marginally or not at all if they backed a second referendum.
It's not the easy obvious solution that everyone in the internet bubble thinks it is, and the reason they think it is is because they're remain supporters who subscribe to remain majority spaces.
You can write the referendum so it either uses ranked choice voting or asks two questions to avoid splitting the leave vote.
