What a pathetic bunch they are.
I actually think they've played it quite well up to now, strategically speaking.

If the polls are to be believed, if we haven't left the EU by the 31st then the Tories will lose a large vote share to the Brexit Party. If that splits the vote, Labour are in play and that's what they are hoping to happen.

Johnson was elected by Tory members to get us out by Oct 31st. He will have failed, unless the EU don't give us an extension. I have to be honest, I think his strategy has been shocking, he has been outmaneuvered by Corbyn up to now. He's now banking on the narrative that its 'People Vs Parliament' and I guess that play might still work.

You could argue he has unified some of the ardent Brexiteers and Remainers, because neither like the deal he has negotiated - many of them see it as an even worse version of the deal that May had rejected 3 times. Let's see how the next few days pan out, but I'd be amazed if Labour vote in favour of a G.E. until after the 31st Oct because its not in their interest to.
