I believe Boris has sent a letter to Tusk. Shame really as I wanted him to stick by what he said. However I have no idea what it says.
 
I’m not having it both ways. He’s a ****ing mug for promising something he knew was against the law and now going against that to save his skin. He’s just making it up as he goes along.

My letter would have been something like this...

Dear Mr Tusk

@@@@ off! ( I may have added you muppet so it didn’t sound too impolite).

Regards,
Ellers
 
69% 31% to remain in latest poll if a second vote is decided upon and allowed

How do you reconcile that to just about every opinion poll since Johnson became PM that puts the Tories well ahead? Not the same thing, I know, but the Tories and Nambies are the only two main parties with a clear position on Bregg ****.

This is the latest poll that I have made up
Here is the very latest one as calculated by my smart fridge:

72% Remain 28% Leave
 
Just watching Corbyn’s Commons piece after the Letwin Amendment was approved on a vote of 322 vs 306.

He welcomed the result, declaring it as the House declining to back the PM’s deal today and preventing a “no deal crash-out”. He described the vote result as “emphatic” in that respect.

322 out of 628 votes is 51.3%.

So, the Leader of HM’s Opposition is of the view that 51.3% is an emphatic result.

Hmmm....

Presumably a result of 51.89% in, I don’t know, say a referendum, is ever so slightly more emphatic then?
