We're just going to keep going through prime ministers and party leaders until reality begins to penetrate the political conversation of this country.
As it stands every Tory candidate has adopted a posture which is going to fail as soon as it meets reality.
Europe won't renegotiate for any of them, and parliament won't let them leave with nothing, but you just can't get them to acknowledge these facts.
Yes, they are facts. Europe hasn't even got a Commission that can negotiate yet. And it won't have until November, the day after we're meant to leave.
There's no one to negotiate WITH, but still they keep saying it.

Brecon and Radnor recall petition results tomorrow afternoon.

If 5,600 people have signed the petition, then the sitting MP (Conservative) loses his seat, and a new by election is called.
Tories currently have 313 seats. They might be about to lose another if tomorrow's recall petition succeeds.
That would put the Tories and the DUP together on 322, with the opposition 319

Now a vote of no confidence is looking winnable
Because there are at least two Tories that we know of who would vote to bring down the government before allowing a no deal Brexit. And if tomorrow's recall petition goes through, two is all it would take.

Why Boris Johnson is the best Tory leader for remainers.

Because Theresa May's deal is dead. And the best way of making it stay dead is by electing the person who killed it.
What's left is a choice of three. No deal, New deal or no Brexit.
But Europe has no Commission until November 1st, which is why our extension expires on October 31st.
A new deal is out because there's no one to negotiate it with.
Finally, no matter how you don't want to see it because you don't like me being right, you're left with the two choices I said you would face in the end.
No deal. No Brexit.

You go your way, I'll go mine. This is what's going to happen:
We suppose Boris Johnson wins the Tory leadership.
The best he can hope for is a majority of 4, although by then it might be 3.
And that's with the DUP
Parliament has already shown willing to legislate in spite of government.
A prime minister with no majority, who has neither won nor even fought a general election, will not be allowed to execute such a drastic policy.
It would only need two Tory MPs - and you can even name the two - and the government would fall.
And what you also know is that this is the only job Boris Johnson ever wanted. he doesn't want to go down to a vote of no confidence before he's even unpacked his socks.

If you really think about it, Obama didn't cover-up anything. We all know for a fact what Hillary did & the Obama cartel had full control of the FBI & the DOJ. They openly & arrogantly committed unlawful actions knowing they could get away with everything.
The GOP Ryan led Congress silently watch & did absolutely nothing to stop it. Those Republicans were complicit in allowing the biggest criminal enterprise in history to run unfettered while destroying the US & supporting our enemies.
If @realDonaldTrump isn't allowed hold the Obama administration accountable then the country will have zero chance to recover. The RINO's are dragging their feet & refuse to fully commit to anything, & everytime the POTUS roughs someone up on twitter they run and hide.

1/ So, without getting into the substance at all, there’s an interesting underlying question here, which is: who are all the prime ministers in British history?
2/ You might think this would be an easy question, like asking “who are all the U.S. presidents?” But you’d be wrong.
3/ The office of the prime minister wasn’t mentioned in English/British/U.K. statutory law until the 20th century (the 1917 Chequers Estate Act, to be specific).

Why have I changed my mind since the 2016 EU Referendum and why it is wrong to continue to support Brexit?
Nothing has convinced me otherwise.
Let the people have the final say
#PeoplesVote #RemainerNow #tory #labour #libdems #brexit
The country is divided and some of the reasons many of us who voted Leave have been laid bare: immigration, lack of respect, fear for your job and squeeze on public services.

Trust me, sovereignty was way, way down the list!
We lashed out upsetting the apple cart and gave the government a bloody nose and like many got joy at watching David Cameron lose his job.

Here's important context: ICE has admitted to classifying people as MS-13 without any evidence they're actually in the gang, as a way of ensuring they don't get bond during immigration proceedings
For example: cbsnews.com/news/ms-13-gan…
We talked about Operation Matador and ICE's overzealous gang designations back in Episode 38 of @fsckemall:
