    What´s the difference between the PM and a Chelsea supporter? The Chelsea supporter has more honour.

    Boris can't call an election because of the fixed term Parliament act. He needs the opposition to agree.

    Boris probably knows where Chelsea is? Probably knows that Chelsea aren't in it, too.

    Parliament had three years to realise it was an advisory referendum and not legally binding, but that little detail got overlooked as much as the fact that even the Leave campaign were saying it wouldn't be No Deal throughout the campaign process

    Which they would, but he can if they lose a vote of confidence. This could cause the interesting situation where a government votes against itself in order to lose a vote of confidence and the opposition supports them :)

    There was mention that, even if he lost a No Confidence vote, he'd ignore it and carry on regardless

    Funny how the Leavers don't have an opinion on ignoring the result of that particular vote...

    A Number 10 spokesman said this morning that they would call an election between the 1st and 5th of November. Strange because elections are normally on a Thursday.

    Could be worse, Mar A Lago keeps cropping up in discussions that also use the phrases "sex trafficking" and "Jeffrey Epstein"

    I read that one of our Queen's sons was very pally with Epstein. That came as a shock (I think!)

    Probably true, but you'd have thought it would've come up at some point before he was made President.
    Don't the authorities check this sort of thing?
