Private and Confidential!
Email to all Labour MPs instructs them to ABSTAIN on Monday’s general election vote. They’re allowed to vote against if they wish.
Means PM wouldn’t have the numbers. Even abstentions count against under FTPA.
Labour running scared of GE!

I wonder what punishment awaits for those renegades who might vote in favour of a GE.
"Labour running scared of GE!"
With Corbyn and his sidekicks in charge that is no surprise, only the staunch Labour followers would be brave enough.

This is Labour's consistent view, to be fair. Once no deal is removed, bring on an election. That's not quite happened yet. They'll not be forced into it because it suits the Tory party - why on earth would they?!

That is what is wrong with both sides in Parliament at the moment, they are putting their parties and their leader's egos before what the country voted for in the referendum. Both sides of the argument want to win but in real live that can never happen and so Brexit drags on and on and on.
The pettiness on both sides is beyond belief and will do none of them any good in the long run.

But how do you remove 'no deal' and bind a future government?
Until a deal is signed sealed and delivered there is always the possibility of no deal.

One thing is for sure, the Conservatives are finished. But god knows how either the Brexit Party, Libdems or Labour could ever form a coalition because I we will be heading for a hung parliament
No if's no buts
This country is the biggest joke on the globe.

I also think we will get a hung parliament whenever the next GE is held. A lot of people like myself do not like Boris so a lot will depend on the Brexit fiasco, but I also think Labour will be the biggest loser of votes even if they retain a lot of seats.

We won’t need a coalition circus Dover Pilot if or when we are taken over completely by the EU or...............?
The Parliament and House of Lords buildings could be converted into accommodation for the homeless instead of clueless hooray Henry’s as they have outlived their time as joke factories.

Well less voted to remain.It was the biggest turn out for years.You can twist the figures as you will but. More people voted to leave .suppose the remainders want another referendum and allow sixteen years to vote.Probably decide that anyone over seventy should not be allowed to vote.These young people have never known what we have lost by being ruled by the EU?

OK Brian at the moment the EU set the rules and our parliament
have to agree to them whether we like it or not.
I agree some rules/laws are good but at the same time some have not been, beneficial only to some of those on mainland Europe.
The main thing that really irritates me that at the moment is the continued waffle from EU loving Labour MPs and pundits that only the EU care about the workers, giving the impression that as an independent nation we will throw said workers to the wolves.
