    jo swinson and Ed davey both saying the lib-dems would not form a coalition with labour if Corbyn was still at the helm
    TBF that’s good politicking. Distance themselves from Corbyn (toxic to some middle voters)

    Then when votes are cast go into some confidence and supply a la DUP.

    Not in a coalition and pinched some seats.

    They might do more than pinch some seats the way the Labour Party are going.

    The Lib Dems wouldn't form a coaltion with any left leaning party. It goes against their parties austerity enabling principles. They'll join forces with the most Conservative available to them, whether it be the Conservative Party themselves, or a New Labour clone.

    The fact they've ruled out a coalition with Jeremy Corbyn, based purely on unproven accusations, but they haven't ruled out a coalition with the openly racist Boris Johnson should be no surprise to anyone.

    New OBR forecast out for No Deal Brexit. They predict:

    A recession next year with 2% contraction, £30 Billion hit to tax revenue, £ to go to near € parity for several years.

    Woo-hoo.

    Pre-emptive parliamentary blow struck against BoJo - makes proroguing much harder. 315 to 274.

    Opposition to no deal seems to be firming a bit, making the inevitable election come a bit closer I think. I think Johnson's calculation will be that if he goes into a GE proclaiming that the EU are *******s and he wants to go ahead with No Deal that will triangulate out Farage, and the Remain vote will split fairly evenly between the shambolic Labs and resurgent (a bit) Libs.

    Apparently the EU are the reason we don't eat fish and chips out of newspaper wrappers anymore.

    This is a perfect if somewhat extreme example of why we are where we are.

    Should I change my car before October? 5 year old but mechanically sound, bodywork is a bit worse for wear. I'm guessing it's going to cost more after Brexit. Any idea?

    Buy a British car and you should be alright. You can have any make you like providing it's a Morgan. Waiting list might be quite long mind you.

    Do they do electric or hybrid models? I'd rather have a TVR but I need space for my display materials for craft fairs, so SUV it is

    Cheers J, I found this little tool that predicts average price rise by manufacturer.

    https://www.carwow.co.uk/car-prices-after-brexit#


    Buy European and you could be £4k more. Think I might start looking to buy in September or October.

    Judging by carwows expectations, my audi would jump 8k. I don't think i was expecting that much of a jump.
    It was carwow i used to get a deal - I'd definitely use them again.

    It’s clear there won’t be the number to get a no deal brexit through Parliament so it will be interesting to see what Johnson does. I don’t think they are ready for GE straight away but who knows.

    A general election is the only credible way to progress this dead lock IMO. Gordon Brown was a a lame duck PM for not seeking the approval of the electorate . If Boris is standing on the narrative of delivering for the electorate then there is no better way than to go and getting that secured in parliamentary numbers. It may very well be the narrowest of manifesto debates . but forcing a polar question maybe the only way left. FWIW I have always thought that Boris is first and foremost a shameless opportunist and I would concede that this is a Churchillian comparison that holds water. He would be intrigued at the prospect of being the last PM of The united Kingdom , rather than perturbed.

    What if parliament is hung and there still isn't a majority between remain, soft and no deal?

    Johnson’s only plan is to be PM. What happens after that isn’t important to him right now.

    Remain, soft and no aren't outcomes of a polar question.

    I might be wrong but I think he might be talking about the MPs. Some remainders, some no dealers and the want a dealers.
