Ironically it seems half the reason the Tories would win most seats is purely because so many people don't trust Jeremy Corbyn on the other side. It doesn't paint the full picture though, as Labour + Libs/SNP could form the majority, but it seems like the thought of the SNP being the swaying factor is a huge negative factor in England for Lib/Lab, if it's given enough airtime.

Could do with an independent Scotland now. Take a slice of London's wealth as the UK capital and let you lot deal with your personality crisis in your own way ;o)

    Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage offered Prime Minister Boris Johnson an election pact on Wednesday but warned that unless there was a clean-break Brexit, the Conservatives would take a "real kicking" in any election and could not win a majority.

    Johnson, who has lost his working majority in the House of Commons, wants to hold an election but parliament has ordered him to ask the EU to delay Brexit until 2020 unless he can strike a transition deal at an EU summit on Oct. 17-18.

Should have a referendum, should be the whole of the UK too. Be a landslide

>Take a slice of London's wealth

Er no.

Thought this was interesting, via reddit, sorry about the image.

It'd be much easier if England seceded, don't think you lot are too bothered about NI/Wales either

Messy.

Boris Johnson has told government officials to explore the possibility of building a bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Documents seen by Channel 4 News reveal that both the Treasury and Department for Transport have been asked for advice on the costs and risks of such a project.

Politicians lie, but I suspect you'd better not lie to QE.

"Dear Customer,
We are writing to inform you that, due to the possibility of the UK leaving the EU and incorporating an amended version of the GDPR into UK law, we will be updating:"

Ok if we have to go through this shit again due to exit, can I have a say?

As for the EU's 2021-2027 budget, Brussels hopes it will be approved in March, but Johnson could veto it with the stroke of a pen if the UK is still in the EU come March.

Over?  not yet...  the fun now begins, but at least we have a govt that can get on and do it.

Change is good, i didn't vote, the local council letter arrived 2 days ago saying i needed to provide photo IDs to be on the electoral register since i'd changed address and there wasn't time.

I'm ambivalent about brexit, the long view is the only view and in that view this is just a process and mutation is good for processes, the change will have unforseen benefits, winners and losers as always. But it's a good injection of chaos for the system in the long run.
