Well, ol' PM Johnson lost his working majority while he was speaking on the floor of the House of Commons.

If Jeremy Corbyn is against something then it's almost a dead solid lock it's something intelligent people should be for.

England is a complete mess. They see themselves way prettier than they are. This country had been fed by their colonies and by the EU. The spalsh will be big. Tremendeous splash.
Johnson lost everything yesterday and because some politicians put the country above party.
He will be the shortest PM ever in the UK.
You can't work with perpetual lies in every country.

That's disingenuous. The EU certainly has some bullyish behavior going on, but it's not because they are saying that the UK can't leave. They are just trying to make an example out of them. There is a difference in that. The leave campaign lied to the people and now they are having to deal with those consequences and the EU is not doing anything to make it easier on them.

Listening to more on Brexit over the weekend and I wonder how the "we can never have another vote on the referendum" crowd feel about Boris calling for new elections to try and get officials in who will agree with him?
Would seem to me that the people voted for the people in office to make these decisions already.
I understand they can "call" for elections and that is past practice while the referendum was supposedly "the final word" but I also understand that if Boris can't get the deal done he shouldn't just be saying he needs new people to work with. Especially when even his own people are deserting him right now.
