    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.

        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.

        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

        I'd settle for John Major and Tony Blair, frankly—and I never thought I would type that in my lifetime.

        So whilst Corbyn blocks everything . And won’t agree to let the people have a choice on their new government , the division hatred and vitriol continues, all it will achieve is civil unrest , it’s at boiling point . Corbyn is just a professional protester . We need a new PARL

        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
