Why has BBC News got a discussion panel talking about the "upcoming election"?
Did they schedule it in before Johnson lost his vote on Wednesday and didn't have anything else to replace it with?
I mean, I know an election is becoming inevitable but they were talking like it's already underway

Well there is going to be another election at *some* point (unless PM Johnson is even more of a dictator than in our worst imaginings) and "upcoming" is a rather flexible word

Yes, of course.
Not at all about laying the groundwork for acceptance of a deal between the Tories and the Brexit Party. That would just be cynical manipulation and not at all something our objective and impartial national broadcaster would cynically and manipulatively do.

Whether British public are right or not is irrelevant - polls suggesting higher trust for Johnson than Corbyn, given a) Johnson and b) this week - surely demand some kind of action?

I think it demands that the British public take a much longer and harder look at Johnson before they are asked for their verdict in a GE. Until November 1st should do it.tinyclanger2 wrote:Whether British public are right or not is irrelevant - polls suggesting higher trust for Johnson than Corbyn, given a) Johnson and b) this week - surely demand some kind of action?

In the last half an hour or so, BBC TV News was reporting (with film footage) on some sort of "Brexiteer" v police fracas in Westminster. I've looked everywhere for reference to it, but it seems to have now completely dropped out of sight.

Quite likely the same if they openly break the law re an A50 extension.
These things are not consequence free.

I like to think that the EU has enough expertise at their disposal to scupper this (no doubt Dominic Cummings inspired) move without expending too much time and energy on it.

Macron postures about giving the UK extensions to the Brexit deadline for his domestic audience.
But with an early GE all but inevitable here, it is almost inconceivable that the EU won't at least wait and see what transpires.
