Johnson caves on no deal bill in order to push for an election

Boris Johnson to seek general election again on Monday

Boris Johnson will seek to trigger an election again on Monday, daring Labour not to back the motion after the no-deal bill has been made law.

The leader of the House of Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg, said the government would seek to bring the same motion back and that parliament would not be prorogued until the bill had received royal assent.

So last night the government in the Lords agreed to drop its filibuster against the no deal blocking bill. This will now become law.

The reason for doing so becomes clear today when they announce that they are going to try and push for an election again on monday. This despite having lost a vote on this only yesterday.

Their reasoning is that with the blocking bill in place there is no reason to put off an election. This is schoolyard politics. Having routed these chimps several times this week why should the good guys allow Johnson to set a timetable?

We don't agree to any deal but prohibit you from proceeding without a deal is not leadership. He is doing what he can with the cards he has been dealt. Don't be surprised to see May's last deal be re-presented at the 11th hour at which point it will be here is your deal. Approve it or you will be responsible for the no deal brexit. The EU is not going to play games. They are on the verge of a recession in part because of this lingering issue.
