Interesting use of "we" there when I'm not sure he was a lib dem at the time :v:

Also yes Guto Bebb, he's Welsh and used to be a minister IIRC? Though I dunno if that's why he's called that cos it doesn't sound very Welsh. I still think he nicked his name from a star wars expanded universe novel.

He's always been a libdem OP.

i hate to break it to you but leave won the referendum (and its going to leave a second referendum lol)

yes, but why is putting ourselves on a countdown to financial disaster a good base for negotiating with no plan what so ever?

is it because it makes the tories look bad? because that doesn't help all the people who have already lost jobs and been shat on by this uncertainity.

i mean I like JC, but that was a stupid loving play to make.

loving hell goons, he might actually have played a blinder. Even in the event of no deal, everyone is now positioning themselves in a way where blaming Labour will ring completely hollow.

Turns out Corbyn is in fact, fuckin good at this poo poo.

However I do still think that in terms of his priorities utterly destroying the Tories ranks above stopping Brexit, especially if there is a way to get a softer Brexit.

[e] He might actually do it too.

She's even going about that the wrong way!

Her seat is big remain, in line with most of Scotland. If she's seen as not blocking no deal when the SNP have done everything they can, then she loses one of the two things going for her, leaving her with just "Not the SNP"

It would have passed overwhelmingly anyway, and Labour's pitch was always "we're not standing in the way, but we'll only support it if you can deliver what was promised". It put them in a better position to criticise what was happening in good faith, and convince people that the tories were leading us to disaster, instead of just being anti from the beginning

I always point out that the PLP was pretty divided over this, and Corbyn was absolutely not in a position to order his mutinous crew around - and yet they still pretty much all fell in line for this vote. There had to be some strategy talk that convinced all the Remain MPs that this was their best shot (Chuka voted for it lol)
