The Brexit Thread

[Nefertiti2]

You've misspelled " the only chance of stopping Boris Johnson"

[George C.]

Don't forget Soubry and Umunna are definitely losing their seats in that or any other situation.

Except Umunna's going to be parachuted into a 'safe' LD target seat...

[Sean of the Shed]

Ali Milani stands a very good chance of unseating Johnson in the GE. It's a seat I know well, was constituency delegate at Labour Conference once. Tories won there partly through their personal ties to the area, many who voted for Johnson are now very pissed off that he hardly shows up since winning the seat. Parts of the constituency are posh Tory territory but there's a lot that is working/new middle class. Please give Ali a follow if you can, on FB or Twitter.

What are the chances of the BP putting a candidate up for the seat? Just seen Farridge on the news blathering on about Boris and that he doesn't trust him to deliver the full face-spiting nose removal that his racist followers want, so if he is going to claim this then surely he needs to back his words with actions.

[Duncan Gardner]

Seems Brex have said they will contest all bar 28 seats (those where the sitting Tories opposed May's deal in all 3 votes).

(Sorry, no written source- think it was tweeted by Lucas or Berry)

Nige canvassing in Derry and West Belfast should be fun

[Sean of the Shed]

He'll be knocking doors in areas even the NIPS won't go.

[Lang Spoon]

Not really the place for it, but it seems the fucking piss awful Guardian has now sacked Dawn Foster. And Hadley Freeman and Simon Jenkins still take a wage. Great stuff.

[Nefertiti2]

Also about centrism in a way

Other than Richmond Park and maybe Lewes, he's going to go down like a wet shit on a countertop in any of the Lib Dem target seats. Imagine him trying to nab Ceredigion.

If they use that in the second referendum remain are truly fucked.

[ad hoc]

Why is there a cat in it?

[Sean of the Shed]

That's Larry, the number 10 cat. In place of Rocket raccoon I think. His Twitter account @Number10cat has been one of the better political commentaries over the last few years.

[E10 Rifle]

The cat's the only good thing in it. What a dreadful thing. And one which reveals an awful way of looking at politics

[ad hoc]

Is the cat a remainer then?

[Sean of the Shed]

He appears to be based on the Twitter account I edited in above.

A tweet's a written source surely?

More central (London) I think.

Just to say that Larry the No 10 cat isn't responsible for the Number10cat twitter account. Paws can't tweet.

[Sean of the Shed]

To be fair to ad hoc I assumed he was smart enough to come to that conclusion by himself.

[ad hoc]

My illusions have been shattered.

[Nefertiti2]

This is why Corbyn has been resisting Revoke the Article 50 stuff

especially in alliance with a group who are determined to shaft Him at the earliest opportunity

[Guy Profumo]

Racist filth Nigel Farage offers support to racist scumbag Boris Johnson if he pursues "no deal" brexit rather than sticking to the withdrawal agreement.

They are not especially close to getting a majority anywhere in London except Richmond Park. Their next closest target is Bermondsey and Old Southwark, where Neil Coyle has a majority of 13,000 and isn't exactly a Lexiter.

[Nefertiti2]

There may be haunts like Haringey where they had MP‘s or Barnet where they can capitalise on a strong anti Corbyn Jewish vote.

dont always agree with Bastani but this is bang on I think

Think it's a current two/three(?)-way marginal, as of now, not 2017.

Nef's partly right I think, in terms of target seats. Albeit not overly likely.
