Boris and his Tories will NEVER feel the need of the people Matthew, they will remain blissfully and willfully utterly blind to the reality of the situation. This is exemplified by BoJo going on about forcing the EU to a new deal when the EU has already said “no”, loudly and clearly, and despite being given “30 days” by Angela Merkel, has not even put anyone to work on finding “alternative means”, let alone put anything to the EU.
It was never his intention to do so. I think he always intended to take UK out of EU with no deal, but in such a way as it made the EU look like the bad guys, not him.
He’s certainly backed himself into a corner, but has doubled down on that this morning, promising once again to “lead” UK out of EU on 31/10 deal or no deal ..... seemingly blind to the bleeding obvious that parliament doesn’t support no deal 🤦♂️
Still, removing the whip from 21 rebels is a great way to ensure a) those 21 vote against you again cos they’ve got nothing to lose and b) that you now no longer enjoy a majority in parliament and can therefore no longer “effectively govern”
Yes, a general election is a possibility .... but so also is a transition of power through a No Confidence vote, which Keir Starmer alluded to earlier today .....
But this is what happens if the leader of the country gets high on faery farts, unicorn poop and rainbows ......
