I still think the best outcome is for him not to be removed and for the Benn gambit to work out. It's a risk but is the ideal outcome.

The EU are not reactionary, I think they can see Johnson for what he is.

Exactly this.

An educated guess though. He clearly prizes PL advertising revenues and income and is prepared to spend extensively to get us promoted at first time of asking. It seems clear that the only real reason he keeps us is to promote sports direct and going down and staying down would absolutely harm that goal. It's also the only position under Ashley that we haven't really occupied which makes his reaction unknown rather than set.

Not if we stay down.

I mean, it's so insane that I can't actually believe he said it. I want to believe his account was hacked or something.

He actually tweeted this, apparently:

I don't think we're heading that way anyway. Feels to me more like we're going to run the gauntlet to October 31st.

Rebel Tories now working against the opposition to seize control of daily business. Small win for Boris.

As much as I still think we need to get relegated, it's hard to be a cynic on this one. Great for Matty, really happy for him.

If anyone wants cheering up, RTG is in full on crisis mode after their loss to Lincoln City, and subsequent goading by the Lincoln fans. Apparently Lincoln were non league a couple of years back and this represents the ultimate nadir for Sunderland. Until the next one.

I think Bruce's tenure here will be so disgraceful (and short) that I'll simply 'forget' he was ever manager at all.

Are you now an incel? The guardian has some serious concerns.

This enduring notion of Soros being some kind of left-wing kingpin is absurd. Even if he is everything they say he is, he's one rich guy against many rich guys. At worst he's an isolated example of a Left wing version of people like Rees Mogg himself.

Aye, there's no technicality that can save them short of Hungary or something vetoing it.

Nigel Farage himself, nailed on.

I'm gonna say mind, this is going to be a tragedy for the entire country, leave or remain. If fucking useless May hadn't decided it was hard Brexit or bust, we could have had a mediocre soft Brexit that was kinda pointless but probably does in some stupid way represent where the country actually was at the time. Now we have all or nothing Brexit, no matter who wins, we lose.

I don't think there really is much will to get rid of him outside of a few Momentum ultras. The impression I had from that whole 'mess' was that no one in Labour high command much cared, and it was coming from a grassroots democratic/administrative process.

Surely that's literally treason. Engaging a foreign power to undermine the strategic position of your own realm?

Is all of this enough of a corner to actually get us out of this?

Grieve has been the Tory hero for me in this whole mess. And I think while watching the Tory party fall apart has been a lifelong dream, it's actually starting to make me nervous. It's falling apart in a rather dangerous political direction.

If he does, Parliament will revoke. For sure. If Johnson goes that far, he'll have justified an extreme response.

At the end of the day, they're doing what they have to do to save their party. That's all any of them care about anyway. It's transparent - if the British public fall for it then they're a pack of fucking morons, but in the end there's only so long we can avoid asking them what they think.

I think this too, although then we're playing into his hands also. It's going to be brutal, any GE off the back of this.

Which is by far and away the most legitimate choice, even though I myself would prefer someone who can't be easily politicised in the upcoming elections.
