I’ve been impressed by some of the young delegates who’ve spoken this year, there was a 17 year old delegate from Haringey who spoke up about how she’d joined Labour to fight cuts & a lot of the more radical policies have been driven by younger factions. It’s really great to see young leftists energised and winning.

Oliver Letwin question could prove important. Asks A-G to rule out further prorogation. He doesn’t do that. There’s potentially a gap for the Government. Prorogue Parliament c 10/10. Queen’s Speech 14/10. It falls, government falls. General election. Poll post Brexit day.— Theo Usherwood (@theousherwood) September 25, 2019

Scenes from #Lab19 floor when the @labfreemvmt motion passed.Labour now has possibly the most radical, socialist policy on immigration it has ever had.

You need 25 working days to hold an election. Theo Usherwood is talking shit.

this entire conference would've been unimagineable under any previous leadership

i'd add -- since alex h is too young to know this -- that dick emery was never a comic with any venom in him: he didn't dislike the weekly parade of mild weirdoes he was playing, and i doubt the viewer did either. i can't pretend his worldview was at all woke, but it wasn't spiteful either (nor savile-esque). to me, aged like 12 or so, it was mainly boring, bcz it wasn';t very good? catchphrases, funny voices, funny walks -- everything ritually repeated, no invention to it. not remotely missed when it was was all swept from the screens.

I might be reading Usherwood wrong, but isn't he saying that because you need 25 working days for an election, voting down the queen's speech would mean that the election would be after Brexit day, and so this is a path to No deal
I think it's nonsense all the same - it would mean not even trying to put a deal to the EU at the summit on the 17th, and since Labour is (AFAIK) feeling no ill effects from refusing an election under special circumstances, would they be scared of approving the queen's speech on the same basis?
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 25 September 2019 11:52 (four years ago) link
It's nonsense because these wheezes don't work when everybody else (including the EU) is actively looking out for wheezes. Like in what world does the EU allow crash-out to happen on the eve of an election?
― stet, Wednesday, 25 September 2019 11:54 (four years ago) link
So looks like doubling down and going on the offensive is the order of the day from HM Government.

Trump also knows how to read a room. Pretending he doesnt have these skills is the dumb thing]
an aside: wrong skills. as a conman he is extremely good at persuading marks, but any footage or reports of him talking to actual people in a room, going back decades, consistently fails to find him reading it.
"And where are they now?"
"Didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay."

i would have thought - and i'm no Geoffrey Cox, so i could be wrong - that there would still be the opportunity for somebody else to come forward as capable of forming a government and therefore if the anti No Deal camp had its shit together they could just appoint a new PM, apply for the extension and go for the GE after this was done

Oh and ofc - The Queen’s speech failing is no longer the automatic trigger for an election because of a FTPA

Like in what world does the EU allow crash-out to happen on the eve of an election?
I mean, are we talking tanks here? The law at the moment says the UK leaves on Oct 31 - if Johnson can get around the Benn law, then the EU can't force an extension that the UK hasn't asked for.
