It's no wonder that they all think Corbyn is a Stalinist monster if they treat having the whip withdrawn like they're having their life threatened. Worthless fucks.

There's some logic behind not completely ruling out no deal, in as much as being willing to walk away from a bad deal as a general principle should always theoretically be on the table, even if you're in the weaker negotiating position. Unless you've completely loving botched everything and don't have a leg to stand on, so it's a good thing that they haven't spent three years doing exactly that.

So, if the bill tonight passes but Johnson's subsequent call for an election fails, doesn't that mean that Parliament can potentially block no deal (however they go about it) and not let Johnson try to force us out through an election and/or prorogation? Cos that would be a pretty hilarious outcome, even if it means a bit longer in tory hellworld. Edit: what Jabby said.

That is the repose of a man who is watching his prospects of premiership at the helm of an independent Britain go up in smoke before his eyes. Just a couple of months ago he was potentially looking like the man of the hour. Now none of them are.

Presumably we don't need very long before a pre-Brexit election is impossible, at which point Labour is free to VONC away (assuming no deal has been blocked in some way).

A couple of my meltier friends are somewhat down on Corbyn (and like Yvette Cooper  ) but they were both super enthusiastic about McDonnell. No, I don't get it either, but it's probably further proof that he would be a decent successor to Corbyn.

What actually is the next step after this bill? A vote on revocation in the event of no deal being agreed by Parliament? That seems like the only way to actually guarantee that no deal is taken off the table regardless of whether we leave or not.

I guess we'll find out either way.

Can Johnson choose to not prorogue parliament, if it isn't looking to benefit him? It would make him look like a colossal twat, but then, what wouldn't? It's bad options all the way down for him.

The DUP are still going to vote down any deal that they don't like. They didn't vanish in a puff of smoke when the tory majority collapsed, so I'm not sure how this gambit is expected to work.
