    If the legislation to stop no deal is passed and if Labour won't support a GE, then it seems to me this pushes Boris towards Farage after 31 Oct, which might mean going for no deal. I can't see beyond this is at present.

    Think it will be. Cant see any way around it. There will always be some blame culture attached to one side or the other.

    I couldn't see Johnson winning and election on a No Deal platform, even with Farage on board.

    The country has been f*cked for a long time now, it won't get any better whichever way this goes now. I blame the politicians 100%, liars and c*nts...

    He might do when the alternative is continued impasse. People want this resolved and Tory and Brexit Party votes add up to a lot.

    Sky saying it would be hard for Corbyn not to agree a GE since he confirmed he would even today.

    The vote on the extension legislation may come down to which Labour MP's abstain

    24 hour news, social media, all part of the merry-go-round. Politicians are playing to a vast gallery now and everything is media driven but in the end it's the politicians playing politics that f*cks everything up...

    Can the government call a GE unilaterally?

    No, two-thirds of MPs have to agree, so it would need Labour support.

    ...which means it's up to Corbyn, but it will be ignominious is he rejects a GE having bored us all asking for one since 2017.

    I think he may believe he can win

    He seemed pretty gung ho on the news just now. I still think he should say 'Of course we want an election, but only after No Deal is ruled out and A50 has been extended' - i.e. after 31st October.

    I blame the UK for being the UK

    Always a price and we have been in decline for decades.

    It cannot be fixed imo

    We are all self obsessed it would take a revolution imo
