EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

What’s the way I can cost them the most

Petrol bomb their offices

That and prorogation...actions that can both spectacularly backfire.

Boris has no strategy other than bluffing and brinksmanship.

Looking at his career, it's hard to see an instance of when it's ever worked out in favour of anyone but himself?

The £100M Brexit ad campaign kicks off next week. Going to be interesting

This is worth a read;

And the "get ready for Brexit" campaign starts. Gove says it is all about "shared responsibility"

Sure OK mate, he is going to offer £ to people that have already lost their jobs and business over Brexit...?

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.

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

and Labour will back that.

Only if there is legislation to block no deal. SNP similar. I don't think there's much trust in Johnson at the moment. I wonder why.

Indeed:

NEW: Remainer source says they expect PM to put down a dissolution motion (calling an election) with what appears to be a “reasonable” polling date before 31 Oct, trick MPs into voting for it, then use prerogative proclamation power to move polling day to after 31s Oct.

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.

That's what I don't get, everything leading to him seems like a pretty crazy path not reflected by 16/1

Farage at 20-1 is one of the most depressing things I've seen in a long time.

B...but such brass neck would cause rioting* to break out in the streets, surely?

*some furious meme-ing, then silence

Edit: OH HELL. I hadn’t even seen the pic posted up there. This country.

I've lost track. This would be to stop there being a parliament until after Brexit day?

At least 3 DUP seats are "at risk" next election (some of their supporters are quite unhappy with them atm as well about the backstop position) so maybe that'll rid us of 3 of the 10 seats.

yes

I still think Johnson's goal is to get an election before Brexit day, and cast his administration as The People vs a varying cast of remoaners, metropolitan liberal elites, globalists etc etc, and count on Labour backing a Labour Brexit whilst the rest of the parties are revoke, thus splitting any voting block that might stop him.

I dunno. I could see a lot of moderate people shat on by austerity donning some padded clothing and going hell for leather on any and all symbols of it with suitable lengths of scaffold pipe that have been tailored into makeshift clubs and missile launchers. ahem.

Yes. Though Labour have now said pretty unequivocally that they are for 2nd ref with remain vs whatever deal is available.
If no-deal is legally blocked it will be interesting to see where the rabid brexiters go. Hopefully many go back to BXP so that Johnson doesn't get a majority, but there's a danger he's said enough on no-deal to keep them onside. It's going to be horrible. Again.
