With these defections, do we need an election? Opposition parties should just form a coalition now. Chuck in a few £million and the DUP would likely join it.

Conservative MPs have started to deselect themselves, what an absolute car crash this is..
Listening to BoJo speaking to the Commons. Does he think this is all some big ****ing joke? Laughing, making jokes about the Ashes, and wagging his finger in ways that Adolf would be proud.
Someone needs to remove this man promptly, and in the most efficient manner possible. Preferrably to never return to politics again!
Etonians are brought through school with the expectation that they are destined for the cabinet table via Oxbridge. Chumps like Johnson treat the whole thing as a massive extension of the sixth form common room. And why shouldn't they? It's other people's lives they're ****ing with. :rolleyes:
It appears the chair of the Lib Dems LGBT group @LGBTLD has quit the party after Phillip Lee joins the party.
Labour's Angela Eagle: Will the PM "abide by the rule of law", if a bill passes making it illegal to leave the EU without a deal?
Boris Johnson: "We will of course uphold the constitution and obey the law"

Unlike most on here I watched the whole G7 report back from Boris the Bufoon.
No matter the clips for the News outlets, Corbyn hammered him big time, followed by Ian Blackford of the SNP, getting the boot in too. Splendid. Boris is truely atrocious. Watching a Tory MP actually crossing to the opposition benches live was remarkable.
BIG G
He doesn't seem entirely welcome:
Lib Dems' LGBT chair resigns over Lee defection
Jennie Rigg, chair of the Lib Dems LGBT group, says on Twitter that she has sent an email to the membership resigning after the party accepted Phillip Lee as an MP.
Among her concerns is his support in 2014 for banning HIV-positive immigrants from Britain.
In a blogpost, Ms Rigg accused him of being a "homophobe, a xenophobe, and someone who thinks people should be barred from the country if they are ill".
Not sure who's performance was worse today - Bojo or Jackson Carlaw. Carlaw's jibe at Sturgeon was classless. Hope he gets the job.
The arithmetic and possible outcomes at Westminster are now less fathomable than the UEFA Nations League.

Why Corbyn must not fall into trap of giving Johnson an election.

Of course the other factor is the constituency arithmetic. The Brexit party vote share will never translate into a comparable number of seats. The Lib Dems also won’t win as many seats as their vote share would suggest they deserve.
In Scotland the SNP will take 80+% of the seats while being a fair bit short on f that on the popular vote.
It is what it is and I don’t have a particular issue with it. We blew the chance of a more equitable system with the AV referendum result.
Conservative Chief Whip calling in confirmed rebels ahead of the vote to withdraw the vote.
Mogg was essentially begging for a vote of no confidence earlier. Hopefully the opposition benches let this shower suffer through their own mess.
Rees Mogg's actually lying almost flat on his back on the front bench.
Bizarre human being.
PR would likely half the number of SNP mp’s and would also make MP’s much more compliant to the central party machine.
They would no longer represent an area, just the party.
Not for me.

Division!!!!!!
The language used by dissenting Tories is unlike anything I've ever heard from the tories when talking about Johnson. The contempt is palpable.

Bozo and his Brextremists must be made to face the electorate. He's been caught lying yet again. Get these nutters out of office via a general election; Corbyn must call a vote of no confidence, pre-empting Johnson's contrived election.
Ha, ha. Did anyone see the Sarah Smith piece outside holyrood o on the BBC news?
Every Scottish Tory voted with Boris.
It's okay, they'll be gone soon.
I actually think that tonight has just made no deal more certain. Deal between BoJo and his clowns and Farage on the cards.
I’m not sure I share your optimism on that. There was a show on channel 5 last night and plenty people in the audience still backed brexit no matter what. I read a quote earlier that brexit was closely linked to English nationalism and there might be some truth in that.
Tory MPs who voted against the government to be stripped of Tory whip - 21 of them, including two former Chancellors, in what is already a minority government. Bozo in total panic.
Farage and his Brexit Party will be interesting to watch, they'll face far greater scrutiny at a GE than they did at the Euro Elections.
Wonder if they choose to stand in all seats or maybe they stand aside in pro-Leave Tory seats and go after pro-Leave Labour seats?
Hope that fanny stands and fails to get elected AGAIN
Anyone with any sense must see the only compromise is a soft brexit
No deal is just madness
Revoking causing more division
In saying that I just think its all a massive mess which is probably going to cause the biggest shake up in politics in my generation

I don't think there is a majority in favour of Brexit any more.
The problem is, it is far easier to see Farage and BoJo striking a deal and standing together whereas it is much harder to see the Remainers standing together - not unreasonable either, as Corbyn is a divisive figure for many.
I can only see BoJo winning with a substantial majority and having a strong mandate to do whatever he wants - that will be a no deal, hard Brexit and all manner of insufferable nonsense after that.
Can Corbyn win?
He would need to come out for a 2nd ref, he would need non aggression pact with the Lib Dem’s, Plaid and SNP and then he would need a coalition with them and even then it would be close.

The 21 Tory rebels standing as independents could also be a problem for the Tories. Would split Tory vote in those areas.

Dunno like - Labour came fairly close last snap GE after forecasting a huge majority for the tories
If Scotland vote as expected SNP will gain 11 or so seats from the tories
Definately would need a pact with SNP plaid etc (hello indy ref 2)

Nonsense. A Corbyn government is infinitely preferable, IMO. Our society has been destroyed since 2010; there is no dilemma here. We need an alternative to the neoliberal race to the bottom. End moneyism and let's test whether humanism can provide a better path, as the Attlee government did in 1945. It can't do any worse but may do so much better.
I see that the self serving scrote David no deal would be a disaster for Scotland Mundell voted against.
Every Scottish Tory.
All 21 rebels have been informed they are out apparently
Ledsom seemed to suggest there was a way back for them in tomorrow's vote
This includes Winston Churchills grandson
