• doesn't he only need a handful of tories to abstain to secure a majority?
    granted, i can't see it happening, all plans have been libdemmed.
    looks like no deal to me.

  • Ffs is it really reasonable to say they've been "libdemmed"?

    As if in a world where they'd been unequivocally positive, those rogue Tories would have voted him in?

    He's a ridiculously divisive figure and would never have got any reasonable number of Tories onside. He isn't viewing this as a government of national unity but a labour government. Painfully clear from his, and his supporters', statements.

  • sorry, the news report i read said everyone agreed to talk to corbyn apart from the libdems, because they said no one else would talk to corbyn. Seemed like a bit of an own goal. I turned off when they did the arithmetic and it seemed to hinge on chukka's vote carrying it through.

  • Libdemmed is perfectly fair, they've been harping on about stopping brexit as their main policy, and picking up votes on it, making it almost their only idea, bollocks to brexit and all that. But actually they're more worried about having Corbyn in charge for a couple of weeks when he's said that he'll sort out a second referendum and a general election, 2 things the libdems said they want but Ken Clarke is against, yet they prefer him.
