 Corbyn has called on other parties to back him in leading a caretaker govt.

"The political obstacles to Corbyn’s proposal are considerable"
Many MPs who might support the idea in theory would not want to install him in No.10 even as a caretaker PM.

 Forming a caretaker government is more complicated than just choosing a PM

If opposition parties can agree on a PM, what would need to be agreed before a caretaker government could operate?

A government with ministers
The purpose
Priorities
Policies

 MPs have a democratic obligation to bring Johnson down.

Labour’s position:

Corbyn must have the first attempt at replacing Johnson.
If that fails then there has to be x-party support for a unified figure.

A no confidence vote is not required.

 Governments and PMs have made no attempt to find in the referendum vote a democratically sustainable mandate for anything.

These tensions would not be resolved by a further referendum.

We need a national conversation that engages the electorate in the choices before us.

 The 1st act of an emergency government should be to commission an inquiry under the 2005 Inquiries Act.

They could hear evidence from the public, pollsters, trade experts, economists and lawyers.

Then produce a report.
7/
 While that Inquiry investigated and reported, the emergency government could:

1. Implement a programme of constitutional reform.

2. Start a public conversation to find something which MPs could cohere.

 Labour’s fear of losing the government cash awarded to opposition parties is hindering the formation of a caretaker government to oust Boris

Johnson.
Former Tory 'rebel' said.

Labour receives £7.9m in "Short money", awarded to opposition parties.

 Dominic Grieve said that legislation may be needed so that Labour could keep the funds.

 Jo Swinson isn't keeping Corbyn from leading a national unity government.

Former Labour and ex-Tory MPs have similar concerns.

For example, John Woodcock, Ian Austin and Gavin Shuker, will not vote to put a man they regard as unfit to be PM in No 10.

 Several ex-Conservative MPs haven’t forgotten that a terrorist attack occurred during the last GE.

This group will never endorse Corbyn as PM.

However..

If Johnson resigns then Corbyn takes the office by default, without a confidence vote first.

 Corbyn supporters appear incapable to distinguish between:

Minority government

Government of National Unity.

A minority government is formed of one party
A GNU is formed of all parties.

Corbyn wants a minority government
Everyone else wants a GNU

 Row about signalling:

Swinson wants to reassure anti-Corbyn voters that the LibDems won’t result in a Corbyn PM.

Corbyn wants to paint Swinson as a closet Tory

The people whose preferences will decide if a government of national unity is formed are the independents.

 Migration controls threaten job shock to Bristol

75% of EU27 citizens, living Bristol region would be unable to work in the UK under proposals to come into affect in 2021.

 Bristol would come to a grinding halt without our migrants.
It's affected both my doctor and dentist, both who have found it difficult to recruit when EU27 citizens leave.

This makes me so angry, even more so when most local MPs aren't interested.

 Part of the issue I think is that MPs are just not interested enough to learn.

This is my MP, making the case for using the "profit" from migrant workers to contribute to towns which haven’t benefited from economic growth.

My piece in the @spectator:

Q: Is #Corbyn a friend of #Muslims?

A: Only some Muslims.

2/13: Corbyn’s world view is binary: Imperialist (US and it’s client states) and anti-imperialists (Iran, Venezuela, Syria, Russia, China etc)

If you are victimized by one of the anti-imperialist regimes, you will get no support.
3/13: By speaking against the oppression of an anti-imperialist regime you have become a pawn of imperialist. The regime can now treat you as it wishes: barrel bombs and chemical weapons (Assad), starvation (Maduro), mass incarceration (Iran), annexation (Putin).

Guru is a compound of two words, Gu & Ru. Gu means ' darkness ' ;
Ru means ' light ' - that which dispels the darkness of ignorance is called Guru. In India this word is used with reverence and is always associated with holiness and the highest wisdom. It is a very scared word.
It is seldom used by itself, but always with its suffix, deva. Deva means “bright being.” An enlightened master or Guru is called Gurudeva. There is a vast difference between an ordinary
teacher and a spiritual master.
All followers of a Guru, whatever their age, even if they are eighty years old, are like children to him. He will feed them, give them shelter, and then teach them, without expecting anything in return. I asked my master, " why does he do this ? "

What's the deal with with Jeremy Corbyn? For those who haven't followed the story, here's why so many people, and especially Jews, are concerned about the man who presided over the Labour antisemitism crisis. [A thread based on camera.org/article/jeremy…]
2/ Let's begin in January 2006—it's not the very beginning, but still a very good place to start. Not for the first time, Corbyn then campaigned for the release of two convicted terrorists who who set off a bomb at a London building HOUSING JEWISH CHARITIES and at the IL embassy.
3/ In 2009, #Corbyn warmly called Hezbollah "friends," described them as committed to "peace, social justice, and political justice," and called on people to support them. Hezbollah, a proscribed terror organization, inter alia had BOMBED AN ARGENTINA JEWISH CENTER, killing 85.

What’s up with our calls to fill the streets in protest? There are many of us ready to demand accountability, so why aren’t we out there yet? Here’s an update from my perspective.
FYI - Later in the thread I suggest a multi-tiered approach that I think is a workable way for everyone who’s willing, to participate in successfully calling for televised impeachment proceedings now.
First of all, there are a lot of considerations. Anyone who wants to join in protest must make some important decisions about safety, about sacrifice, about finances, and even morality. More on that later.
