“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -

This is an interesting read for example:
Proponents of the new Bill to stop No Deal face a significant dilemma over Queen's Consent | LSE BREXIT
Who knows...
It only worked if there was a consensus on ways to behave. We're way past that.
There really must be a written constitution asap.Hard Brexit now!

Election date of 14 October, apparently (assuming the SO24 works tomorrow - or possibly Wednesday after it completes the HoC stages). Anyway, Monday 14 October locked in, if you believe the briefings.Comment

The country needs a hard Brexit with the opportunists who supported it still in charge.
Then the entertainment will continue for those watching with interest from afar.
Mind you, my son just told me he'd saved 150CHF paying for his hire vehicle in the UK today, rather than last month.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I wouldn't worry your pretty little heads over it, the USA are coming to the rescue of their little cousin and will sort it all out:
Originally posted by Mike Pence;TodayWe will continue to work closely with our partners in Ireland and the United Kingdom to support a Brexit plan that encourages stability and also one which keeps the strong foundation forged by the Good Friday Agreement.
We understand these are complex issues.
I will be in the UK meeting with Trump's Bendover Boy, Prime Minister (in name only) Boris Johnson in just a few days but I think the opportunity to better understand Ireland’s perspective and unique needs, particularly with regard to the Northern border, will make us even better equipped to hopefully play a constructive role that when Brexit occurs, it will occur in a way that reflects stability and addresses the unique relationship between the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

Maybe Johnson and Farage have a backroom deal for an electoral pact, leaving the anti No Deal vote split.Comment

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostSeems unlikely for at least two reasons. First, Farage has placed an impossibly high bar on this - WTO or nothing. Second, if Johnson were to agree a formal pact on that basis, you'd see a lot more Tories voting Lib Dem. I reckon the only way for Johnson to unite the leave vote is to actually leave and hold an election shortly thereafter, but that route doesn't seem open. Also, Labour saying tonight that they won't support an election until an extension is secured. That leaves Johnson in a very tricky spot...
Some Tories would vote Lib Dem, but the pro-Brexit vote would largely not be split individual constituencies (Tories agree not to stand in Labour seats that voted for Brexit).
Ultimately, parliament should be able to stop the government leaving with No Deal. Otherwise, the UK is in very deep do-do, and not principally because of No Deal Brexit.Comment
