Do you think a GE will happen though? Rumours are that Labour will bottle it and vote against a GE (surprise surprise) should BJ call one.

In all honesty my guess is about the same as anybody else's... Not sure anybody can honestly say for sure either way...

But, HS2 is mucking up the lives of many of BJ's constituents as well as those of us living in the constituency next door... Any pressure to get him to cancel is welcome...

He is launching a full review into HS2, I'm sure he'd be pretty short-sighted to cancel without first having heard all the facts
 
There is a reasonable chance that Labour might call Johnson's bluff (or whatever) and simply not call a vote of no confidence in the government - as Blair has advised.

Certainly Labour MP Mary Creagh interviewed last night on Newsnight was adamant that blocking No Deal was the primary objective - and she was most certainly not interested in playing along with Johnson's games. And if you listen to what O'Donnell said - he said that Labour would fight a GE on Labour's terms - not Johnson's. So whilst he said 'bring it on' - I am not sure it is before 31/10. This evening and tomorrow will be interesting and I await Johnson's subsequent words of wisdom (as read from a DomCum script)

You do know that Corbyn is possibly the biggest back tracker in UK politics, always voted against anything EU, he is an EU sceptic. He cannot implement half his manifesto without leaving the EU in full. You are blinded

No, I don't have any views on Corbyn except that he is unelectable in the UK and irrelevant to voters in Scotland.
Bit of a yesterday man for quite some time now.

His constituents are still highly tee'd off with his total dereliction of action with regard the third runway... Really feel he needs to up his game and match action to his word...

Hard to turn to more domestic matters when such a huge percentage of his and the government's time is consumed with Brexit, the quicker we get out the quicker we can get back to these sort of matters

The SNP are irrelevant to voters in Scotland, refuse to accept the result of the 2014 referendum, refuse to accept the result of the 2016 referendum. Want to leave the UK to become independent and then sign up to the EU and its tangled web of laws and regulations. The SNP are a disgrace.

Constituents can be like elephants... They don't forget being crossed... The good people of Henley were pleased to see the back of him and, I suspect, many in Uxbridge won't shed any years for him either...

It really makes me laugh when folk say that the SNP have refused to accept the 2016 referendum vote.
Just think about it for a second, I shall give you a clue....what does SNP stand for. ;)
BTW, polls predict a wipeout for Tories and Labour in Scotland if there is ever another UK GE.

What a weird statement when the S in SNP stands for Scottish; the SNP are the government in Scotland; and the SNP are the 3rd largest party in Westminster with their MPs gleaning nearly 1,000,000 Scottish votes (37%) in the 2017 election - and representing approx 1.6m of the Scottish electorate.

Yes it's the Scottish NATIONAL Party yet they want to leave the UK and sign away the sovereignty they claim to want to the EU, you are correct. It is laughable

It's a shame most Scottish SNP voters,ex-labour voters, are not too clued up on politics and cant see them for what they are

You mentioned both dates, I can understand 2014 but 2016 makes no sense.
I quoted 2016 in my reply.

You did quote 2016, however the people voted to stay in the UK and if the SNP were accepting of that they would also accept the result of the referendum the UK had to leave the EU. The SNP stand from a hypocritical position, they want independence from the UK but not the EU. Not sure how as an EU member you can truly be independent when you have another jurisdiction making laws for you and having to follow their rules
 
The SNP do not respect the result of ANY vote, unless of course it's what they wanted. They are the MOST undemocratic party currently in the UK
