My guess is if Brexit is to go through it would be via a re-worded withdrawal agreement by a future commons with diff numbers.
But that needs an election. And fuck knows what else.

BREAKING: Rory Stewart confirms at the GQ awards (of all places) that he won’t be standing at the next election. His political career ends here... but goes out with quite a bang at the after party. https://t.co/gyVfICeMqy— Paul Brand (@PaulBrandITV) September 3, 2019

The whole idea that the "threat" of No Deal gives the UK any sort of advantage is so risible but seems impossible to unpick

the state of this.
remove my whip if you will, but while Corbyn has a wonderful domestic agenda he is m/l a shambles of a leader and practical foreign policy is a foreign country to him afaict

calz - possibly! I've only seen him say things actively opposed to, or extremely sceptical on, EU / single market membership though. and nothing on Ireland, I'll do a search now

I like the practical Corbyn foreign policy where he actually gives a fuck about Ireland & the crimes of the state (my previous anger about Nia Griffith notwithstanding) but I guess it doesn’t fit too conveniently into the “he hates the west!!!1” narrative 🙃

By rejecting calls for a general election he has helped ensure that no deal doesn't take place, but go off on one.

The state of these vox pops in the graun
Martin and the Woolleys bemoan the “collapse” of shopping in their market, which is only half-occupied on Tuesday. Business has suffered since they opened 20 to 30 years ago, they said, because of the rise of internet shopping, sprawling new supermarkets and American-style malls such as the Trafford Centre and Wigan’s Grand Arcade. All of this leads to a feeling that things used to be better. “Me and my wife knew, before we came into Europe and everything was OK, you could get a job and save up for a house. You can’t do it now. They’ve inflated all the prices, Europe,” said Ray Woolley.

Relax Rory’s going nowhere (til the election)
Strange that a decision has been made to remove the whip from so many colleagues who were ministers so recently. Particularly when we voted repeatedly for a Brexit deal. I can’t think of a historical precedent. But I am not stepping down as an MP.— Rory Stewart (@RoryStewartUK) September 3, 2019

Lauren on point though
Lauren Gossen, 16. “I don’t know why David Cameron even let everyone decide – he should have just done it himself if he’s just going to quit. He’s a saddo.”

Aye, apparently Leadsom was completely wrong earlier about the second chance tomorrow - I am guessing no-one was particularly cowed by it?
I know it's been a busy day, but I didn't see anyone mention the leak to the Telegraph(!) that there's no plans for a deal at all?

Important point in Corbyn only being willing to agree to an election (needing 2/3 maj under FTPA) *after* the anti-No Deal law is on the statute booksIt means a General Election can't be organised 14 Oct, and hence only *after* the European CouncilSo no Deal for Johnson https://t.co/f3l8PMTkJN— Jon Worth (@jonworth) September 3, 2019
