He said Corbyn did not want an election then seconds later that Corbyn had been begging for a GE for over 2 years. Flap.

Where did this idea come from that Johnson was some kind of Churchillian orator, about from himself obviously?His announcement yesterday was dreadfully done, obviously totally spooked by the demonstration nearby and his blustering about today just looked like, well, blustering.

so Labour's goal here is to get an extension and not have an election? idg how this is a victory and not just another delay of the inevitable.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 21:45 (four years ago) link
It ought to be plain as day that Boris has no plans to do anything but a no-deal crash out on November 1. The only alternative to this in his mind would be if the EU took all the initiative to prevent it by capitulating to Britain's every demand for favorable treatment.

idg how this is a victory
Corbyn is already incompetent at winning an election & Labour have collapsed in the polls, so an election doesn't need to be his main priority
also he is pro-Brexit & thinks everyone will just live off community vegetable patches, but most of his party are Remain, so remaining in stasis suits his leadership

The point of getting an election first is so the country doesn’t crash out during/just after an election campaign, so if labour won the election they’re not taking power to food and medicine shortages and deaths while the Tories slip off into the sunset

Tonight we defeated Boris Johnson in his first Commons test and tomorrow we will legislate against his disastrous No Deal plans. We'll support a vote to call a General Election, so the people can decide our country's future, once the Bill to stop No Deal is law.— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) September 3, 2019

Dominic Cummings just bumped into Corbyn in Portcullis House and shouted “Come on Jeremy let’s do this election, don’t be scared.” My spy says Corbyn was bundled away by horrified aides— Tim Shipman (@ShippersUnbound) September 3, 2019

So, strategically, the idea is to set in stone that No Deal is no-go, which means the only options are deal or remain, which means that whoever wins the election would then be forced into the same untenable position as May, in search of a fantasy deal that will satisfy no majority?

If you mean why are some MPs addressed as the Rt Hon so and so, it depends if they hold senior office and/or are on the privy council, so members of the opposition can be the Rt Hon as well

One step at a time. This is going to go on for a potentially very long time. You are looking at one election, a recession. At the least.

well, the make-up of the house changes after an election, so there may then be a majority for... something (good or bad)
or, you know, there may not - we may shake the snowglobe and end up exactly as stuck as before
