Why would you think that? There was exactly one Labour PM that won an election in the last 50 years. And that guy was reportedly so close to Rupert Murdoch that he was sleeping with his wife.

Also I'm pretty disappointed with all of you who quit Labour instead of being expelled. Post better.

He only really acknowledged, it after huge pressure, in 2018. There is now widespread agreement from a number of Corbynites (including St JC himself) that it was acknolweged and addressed far too late.

The genuine chance at getting a left wing party in power was decimated in the 19 election. The only way Labour can win is by becoming Tory lite. Just like Blair did to the party in 1997. Corbyn baggage has damaged their cause for a few cycles.

Weird that that only worked for Blair, but no one before or after him.

I don't really see where a Brexit deal is supposed to suddenly come from? 500 years after initiating the Brexit procedure we're still at the what-the-gently caress-do you-want stage.

The Tories tend to shed their PMs like lizards do tails so the press can go back to pretend to be bamboozled by their new and exciting ideas. It's probably a variation of that?

Don't they have to sign a deal by the 11th? As in, Friday next week.

Honestly I don't really trust the EU deadlines, there is often more fudge possible than stated. But there is definitely a hard deadline somewhere close where the UK has to sign a piece of paper and it's not clear to me that the UK side really understands what that deadline is.

In the sense that the only two possible results were no deal or the UK signing whatever piece of paper Barnier hands them, but the only real winners are the diplomats that get job security for permanent Brexit talks. I just can't see how anything gets settled in any real way.

Scottish independence is an inevitability. The current government has hosed things so hard they've spawned an independence movement in the north of England

Why would the Tories let them go? The conservatives in Spain stirred poo poo up with Catalonia and just let it simmer on a medium flame the last time they and their royal family were caught with their hands in the cookie jar and the Tories might go the same way once everyone gets sick of the Brexit wars.

The UK press has been hating on the ECHR for quite some time and it's a safe guess they'll stir up a campaign to leave it around election time. This would automatically terminate the agreement.

I thought we went over this already? Brexit was a great success. All the problems started when the Euros declared an entirely unprovoked trade war.
