Boris Johnson appears to be on the brink of reaching a Brexit deal after making major concessions to EU demands over the Irish border.A draft treaty could now be published on Wednesday morning, according to senior British and EU sources.It is understood that the negotiating teams have agreed in principle that there will be a customs border down the Irish Sea. The arrangement was rejected by Theresa May as a deal that no British prime minister could accept.Johnson will still have to win over parliament – including the Democratic Unionist party and the hardline Tory Brexiters, the European Research Group – on the basis that Northern Ireland will still legally be within the UK’s customs territory.

Then Parliament reject it and he still gets his people v parliament election except with the Brexit Party against him and hence no real hope of winning. Feels like second ref territory.

alternatively, it passes by 1-10 votes the brexit party disappears and we're fucked, not just for this but for the next five to infinity years.

If it does pass in single digits it could be a pledge/delivery made/huge Boris achievement> Election> Tory landslide.
I mean, there's going to be a Tory landslide whatever happens, given that the opposition leader is also a brexiteer, it will just be a bigger one.

On a majority of -43, with the DUP presumably also against? You’d have to be Stephen Kinnock to support it knowing it would be a huge win for the Tories and there aren’t 60 Kinnocks. I mean, a lot depends on what this thing looks like, but I can’t see it being something unifying.

This argument boils down to getting enraged that women do things without the permission of men and that image touches on all the big ones. Also ties in with the extremely prevalent notion that women get money for basically nothing and that men are just cash machines with absolutely no say in anything.

There aren't 60 Kinnocks but there are definitely Labour MPs who would vote for it and I don't see those 'Tory rebels' who voted three times for May's deal voting against it - the Gaukes and the Hammonds etc. - so I could see it passing parliament. The Brexit Party is rendered redudndant, the Tories hold an election asasp, win a gigantic majority, lol we're all dead.

Plus I completely disagree that Boris leaving with a deal fucks over the LDs and not Labour, I'd say the reverse is true.

Sure it does. What else do the Lib Dems have to offer? Can you name a single non-Brexit policy of theirs?Anyway, not linking to article directly, but you love to see it:

Also can’t remember where I saw but supposedly Labour telling their MPs that anyone voting for the deal gets the whip withdrawn

I know it's Windmill Jolyon but he's generally good on procedural stuff right?
If the House of Commons were to approve a withdrawal agreement on 19 October, and there was no extension, we would have No Deal on 31 October. Here's why. THREAD.— Jo Maugham QC (@JolyonMaugham) October 13, 2019
I'm guessing in the event of a deal passing Parliament there'd be a small extension or immediately implemented transition period but who knows.

The election is going to be about Boris Getting Brexit Done and nothing else, the media will make sure of that, if nothing else. The Lib Dems can present themselves as the party that bravely stood up for Remain while Labour dithered and procrastinated and Corbyn was a Brexiteer all along blah blah blah, hoovering up the Remainiac vote. The Labour vote in Leave areas collapses with grateful Leavers flocking to the Tories and disgusted Remainers boycotting Labour and voting Lib Dem. I'm not actually saying this will happen because I don't want to kill myself just yet.

Think windmill Jolyon probably otm, and did they ever get all those statutory instruments to covert EU law into domestic passed? So to avoid no deal there has to be an extension
