• Yes - rumours are that if the government lose the no no-deal vote tomorrow they will call for a general election, prob for 17th October, and Labour will back that.

  • I was thinking more Mr Clarke's position on there and what it means...?

    Ah. Presumably expecting a hung parliament and formation of a GNU. Esp if Clarke and the rebels have been expelled from the Tories and are elected as independents/under a new party umbrella, he might be more palatable to Labour. Longshot I'd say.

  • Clarke recently volunteered himself to be
    caretaker leader if a GE was called and lost.
