A brain dead fish is better than May so that's not good. Let's have a successful vote of no confidence and a coalition between Labour, Lib-Dem and SNP. They can't decide who should be PM so it's Caroline Lucas

Sadly that coalition probably would never happen because of Corbyns insistence that he can unicorn the gooseberry fool out of Europe.
So we will have May or nothing as no one will be able to form a majority.

It is, but I think he plan be was rumoured at being plan A again.
It's not even a rumour, the AG confirmed it.
“I suffered the biggest defeat in over 100 years. I’m sure they’ll listen to me next time”
Thing is there isn’t much else she can do, she can either do the same, move to call it all off or go strawberry float it no deal then.
She could have tried not being a twat for the last 2 and a bit years.
She lost her majority after a foolish snap election. She is the head of the only government in history to be found in contempt of Parliament. She had 30 of her own MPs launch a confidence vote in her leadership. She suffered the biggest Parliamentary defeat in well over 100 years. The opposition are now planning a confidence motion in her government.
And her answer to all of that is "Meh, I will just carry on with the exact same thing I was doing".
And the worrying thing is it will not hurt her. Labour's confidence motion is doomed to fail and the Tories can't force her out for at least a year. And if a very highly unlikely election does happen, Corbyn is so unpopular that she will probably win.
Yeah I’m not sure how anything other than no deal happens as it needs a motion to go I. For parliament to vote on repealing Article 50 and May won’t raise it and I’m sure if someone else did she wouldn’t take it as an out but blast it down because it’s her way or damnation.
I know he won't get in, but am I the only one that thinks it's not implausible for the EU to renegotiate with Corbyn?
The EU are, quite justifiably, pissed off by the right-wing of UK politics - I could see Tusk, Juncker etc giving a Labour government a watered-down single market access allowance (perhaps one applied more strongly in NI) if only to provide a middle finger to the Tories and UKIP.
I don't buy the "they need us more than we need them" argument in any form, but I would think the EU would act in the best interests of its members, and Ireland does stand to lose out under current Brexit thinking. Yes the "four freedoms" are non negotiable, but it wouldn't be without precedent* for them to offer some restrictions on migration, which would let Corbyn say he's "ended free movement" (as it wouldn't be TOTALLY free)
