good decision https://t.co/zXNj2y9OCd— Jo Johnson (@JoJohnsonUK) October 29, 2019
Thee actual fuck.. You're a tory who according to other tories isn't a good tory, so you get un-toried, but the other tories suddenly need you again (a very tory thing to happen) and you, a tory that got whooped from the whip, accept to be a tory amongst the other tories again?

The home of conservatism isn’t happy
Mine is one of the 10 rebels readmitted so that has cost the Tories my vote. It’s the old boys network at work. A party that behaves like that isn’t worth supporting. I rejoined the party when Boris became leader but I won’t be renewing my membership.
Dear God why? Now more than ever the Conservatives need the courage of their convictions. Brexit is not over, a bodged negotiation of the FTA will still queer the entire pitch. No Deal must still be an option up to end of 2020, or we will get shafted in the next stage of negotiations. These ten are proven to be untrustworthy, who will defy a three line whip to help the EU cause. Stupid, stupid stupid.

so do 16-17yr/olds get to vote or nah?

We should probably poll the possible outcomes, but it feels rather inevitable that not a lot of posts will be moved and things will be largely more or less the same? Tories biggest, Labour trailing, LibDems gaining an inflated, ghostly sense of self-importants, and racists gonna racist.

First Jebediah Cromwell statement:
The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has said:This election is a once-in-a-generation chance to transform our country and take on the vested interests holding people back.The choice at this election could not be clearer: A Labour government will be on your side; while Boris Johnson’s Conservatives, who think they’re born to rule, will only look after the privileged few.We will now launch the most ambitious and radical campaign for real change that our country has ever seen. This is our chance to build a country for the many not the few and fit for the next generation.

Responding to the vote in parliament for a general election, the Lib Dem leader, Jo Swinson, has said:"This general election will decide the future of our country for generations. It is our best chance to elect a government to stop Brexit.The Liberal Democrats are the strongest party of Remain and will be standing on a manifesto to stop Brexit by revoking article 50.This country deserves better than Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn and I am excited to take our positive, pro-European, liberal vision to the country as the Liberal Democrat candidate for prime minister."

I dunno if maybe Labour shouldn't go in as hard on these stealth Tories as they do the actual Tories. "Save this country from the likes of Swinson" and so on. I mean the gloves are already off, if indeed they were ever on.

Quick word for the parliament that is about to end: It has been a very good parliament, historically good. In fraught circumstances, under fierce populist attack, it held the government to account and prevented some catastrophic outcomes.— Ian Dunt (@IanDunt) October 29, 2019

John Curtice, a politics professor at Strathclyde University, said that if Johnson maintains his 10-point lead in the polls through until Election Day — and that’s a big if — “that should be enough to deliver an overall majority, not necessarily an overwhelming one, but probably enough for him to be able to do what he wants to do on Brexit.”
