Corbyn is obviously worried that if he cedes on the temp PM question, he'll basically be admitting that he's too divisive a figure to be PM even for just a few weeks. But I think there's a way he could frame it to his benefit, playing the adult in the room and saying avoiding no deal brexit is more important than any tactical manoeuvring or personal ambition. He might come out looking good and the lib dems looking petulant.

that smug creepazoid Bartley was cooing on Today about how they are "the least tribal party" like as if a pro-remain alliance is above tribalism, sorry but when you signal to more than 4 million of the hardest hit people in this country that you will happily step aside for a pro-austerity party in some seats that is tribalism, dickhead.

Not that our politicians are spoiled brats with no political principles beyond the furtherance of their own careers or anything, but there's been a few instances over the years of someone standing to become leader of their party and, after they lose, leaving the party they so wished to lead at the first opportunity.

Indeed, but if he loves Cumbria and 'The Middleland' so much shouldn't be standing for Mayor of Carlisle or Cockermouth or somewhere? It's almost like he never gave a fuck and was parachuted into a safe seat, but that couldn't be.

Gordon Bennett, would you Adam and Eve it?
The contents of government documents released in a Scottish court have shown the prime minister will seek a Brexit extension from the EU if no withdrawal deal is reached by 19 October.Boris Johnson said he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than seek a further delay, and the revelation in court appears to be in direct contradiction of that statement.

A source confirms all this means is that Government will obey the law. It does not mean we will extend. It does not mean we will stay in the EU beyond Oct 31. We will leave. https://t.co/LuVt45rMAr— Steve Baker MP (@SteveBakerHW) October 4, 2019

Maybe he would rather die in a ditch than request an extension but he would definitely rather request an extension than go to prison.

Alternatively does "give us an extension you garlic-smelling cunts" count as a request compatible with the law?

The Hungarian foreign minister’s motorcade was seen in town, and they went to a meeting inside the cabinet office while BJ was in the building. Though it’s a high-risk strategy because it counts as collusion with a foreign power to undermine Parliament.
