    It’s done. Labour has instructed its MPs tonight to block @BorisJohnson’s attempt on Monday to have 12 Dec election. So @BorisJohnson will shelve the Withdrawal Agreement Bill. He will cancel the budget. There will be no government worth the name. Parliament will become...

        a zombie Parliament, unless and until the opposition find a way to wrest control from @BorisJohnson or hold an election. This deadlock is without modern precedent.

        Maybe it's time for #Leave voters in every Leave constituency to #TakeBackControl & deselect these #RogueRemainMPs with immediate effect. 10 voters per constituency can remove each & every 1 of the disablers #DeselectRogueRemainMPs #GetBrexitDonepic.twitter.com/r8QnGV5jOF

        1. A December election is silly 2. #LoserJohnson's WAB is a floating corpse 3. The budget was going to be a pre-election bribe 4. We don't have a government - we have a rump of ERG MPs answerable to hedgefunds, donors, right wing lobbyists and dark money #GNU

        #RevokeA50 and #StayInTheEU is the best option for getting Brexit over. Quick, in the full control of UK, assures continued acquired rights for c.66m UK citizens and requires no future relationship to be negotiated during several years.

        The EU should just offer an open-ended extension. Call their bluff. We just remain.

        Boris now needs to visit Buckingham Palace - and FORMALLY advise Her Majesty to convene the Privy Council - with the view to dissolving the current Parliament. This option is the nuclear one. But it IS available to gov't #Brexit

        The only realistic option the PM has in that scenario is to collapse the Government and ask Brenda to invite the good Comrade to the Palace to form a government - he has 14 days to do so or it’s a GE. The EU wants Boris to do this. It wants to install its puppet government

        Boris won the QS, has a programme he can bring forward, a Brexit bill he can bring forward and a budget that he has now pulled. Going on strike smacks of being a massive own goal so must be Cummings idea.

        Sadly a significant portion of the population appears to respond to Johnson and co’s lies and game-playing. They could get Brexit over the line with some compromise without a GE, or by calling another referendum and trusting that people will vote for their deal, but they won’t
