BREAKING: Corbyn has written to opposition parties & independents proposing:

đź”»Vote of no confidence in Tory govt ASAP

🔻Temporary “caretaker” govt with Corbyn as leader

đź”»Immediate extension of Article 50

đź”»Then snap election, in which Lab would campaign for 2nd referendum

— Paul Brand (@PaulBrandITV) August 14, 2019

However, in response:

🔸Lib Dems have immediately dismissed the idea, saying too many MPs are unwilling to work with Corbyn

✳️ Greens say a second referendum must be held *before* a general election

So we’re far from any stage where all parties are bought into this alliance.

The statement:

I've written to the leaders of other political parties and senior backbenchers from across Parliament to lay out my plan to stop a disastrous No Deal Brexit and let the people decide the future of our country. pic.twitter.com/Jz1MjXCrqk

Good cop bad cop tonight:

Jeremy has offered the surest way to prevent a No Deal Brexit. Any opposition party leader or MP rejecting this offer will carry the responsibility for allowing a No Deal disaster and will never be forgiven. https://t.co/XxpFOCgkpQ

The allegedly reasonable 'adults in the room' decline a perfectly reasonable proposal.

Fuck the libdems, the absence of realpolitik is staggering. Corbyn’s ability to sneak a socialist utopia bill through parliament with a Shanley caretaker coalition seems pretty minimal.

Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 14 August 2019 21:55 (four years ago) link

so far so predictable. None of the tories that vote for these cunts in the next election will remember this pathetic intransigence that will probably help to lead to a NDB endgame. It will all be Corbyn's fault for having a centre left manifesto. It illustrates to me that the LibDem commitment to austerity and party self-interest totally outweighs their brexit concerns and has always has done because they are like a fucking tory stick of rock. It's embarrassing to see a one-issue party who can't even serve that single issue because of TRIBALISM!

otm. the eu has been clear from the beginning that the withdrawal agreement has its shape as a result of the maybot's red lines, and has been equally clear that if those lines changed the WA could change. meatloaf remainers!

If push comes to shove, will the Green’s single MP insist on refusing to vote with the caretaker government and crash the country out on a no deal so there can be a referendum first? Nonsense. Won’t happen.

gyac, Wednesday, 14 August 2019 23:04 (four years ago) link

Insane centrist logic is quite the thing. Their argument for opposing this idea is that “Corbyn can never be PM.” When asked if they understand that means no deal is extremely likely, they fall back on “Corbyn wants no deal”. Throw in some Yvette “has never supported a 2nd referendum” Cooper fanfic and it’s shit all the way down.

I know people say fuck the polls, but when you are polling an average of between 0% + 1% questions of electoral validity do need to be asked.

calzino, Wednesday, 14 August 2019 23:17 (four years ago) link

1/4 I am disappointed Jeremy Corbyn did not include me in his letter especially as there are five MP members of our party.
Our exclusion and the preference for a General Election rather than an immediate People’s Vote leads me to conclude this is nothing more than a stunt.

as someone on twitter said, the best model that fits this is that an awful lot of remainer politics is about positioning for post-brexit.

As I’ve said in previous threads, the wilfully and genuinely ignorant FBPE heads will get us all killed. People out there, even now, peddling shite about “Corbyn wants no deal” and “never Corbyn” even as there is talk of the actual government suspending parliament and trying to secure medicine supplies, are all wreckers and should be treated as such.

and yeah on the “snap election” no opposition is going to go “oh actually not rn thx”. the whole FTPA is a complete shitshow.

corbyn, leader of the major opposition party as put before the electorate, too divisive to work with to avoid a disastrous outcome championed by boris, jrm and nigel farage.

the absolute lack of even a passable cover story is striking

I can’t imagine change uk types or some independent MPs like Austin, Boles, Woodcock etc voting for an election, but their votes aren’t necessary. 13 MPs voted against last time.

N/m, Boles isn’t going to stand next time.

I'm not certain you really understand what a grift is, comrade zebra? Asking for a specific amount to do a specific thing and being oversubscribed doesn't really cover it.
