I don't think that is correct. The Tory minority government will still be in place and a deputy PM can continue with it. A PM is not a government. In any event there will not be a GE before November 1st, so we won't crash out of the EU. All academic really, Johnson won't let go the reins...

Nothing really, the PM isn't the government. The governing tory party will just have to put in a caretaker PM pending the election of a replacement. We've had PM changes mid term before, for example Tony Blair to Gordon Brown in 2007, with a GE still three years away. Also Thatcher to Major...

Watch the Queen climbing? ;) .

There's a comma between the words died and sending, so no causal connection other than the news of the death reminds us of his record. .

Robert Mugabe has died, sending a timely warning. Mugabe's obsession with achieving independence for Zimbabwe and his native citizens taking back control led to the the total destruction of that formerly rich country's economy. And now we have our own Boris Mugabe Johnson, whose reckless...

Yes, because every extension brings a possibility that we'll change our mind and scrap Brexit or at least accept the deal. It's an either-or situation, either No Deal or they largely get their way. They really don't care any more, and who can blame them after our three years of prevarication. .

I saw it as the opposite, a deliberate spoiler on David Frost's part, him knowing full well that it wasn't even the start of a basis for discussion. Either he was under the delusion that it would shock the EU into softening or the intention was always a No Deal. .

Vladimir and Justin plotting invading Alaska! .

I don't think even he would want to be known as the man who broke off part of the United Kingdom and ended the existence of Great Britain. .

E xactly, back to square one as I posted, all for nothing, so pointless. Once the Tories were the most trusted for management of the economy, but in recent years they haven't have a fiscal policy. It's obviously decided from moment to moment on a whim, with three chancellors in a row, each...

What a shower. They put the country through years of austerity to get on top of the national debt growth. Now they are going to spend us back to square one by borrowing, rendering all the hardship suffered by many completely pointless. .

Probably most of them. Constituency parties have a record of being angry with governments that deselect their choice of MP, especially when they've been good at their job like Rory Stewart. Many of these sacked MPs will stand as independent Conservative anyway, so still attracting Tory votes. .

Me too, but sadly the print editions don't seem to last very long. Some of the problem is the magazine distribution networks, the likes of W H Smith wholesale making life for new limited circulation titles difficult by refusing shelf space. You've probably seen how congested the magazine...

It looks like that one has ceased to publish. I'm afraid that often seems to be the fate of ebike magazines. .

Link one Link two Link three .

We ended up here precisely because Boris Johnson put personal ambition before country and party and at any cost. .

It was never going to work anyway, no matter what we will fail outside of the EU. That is an absolute. As I've posted before, we've gone about leaving in entirely the wrong way, plunging into it with no preparation, just like jumping off a boat a couple of miles out to sea before learning to...

mnm Goodbye Spurs, hello St Neots Town FC. Non league division one will be some change! Information Link .

Campbells, DelMonte, Green Giant etc all American, and ASDA selling them American owned by Walmart. Then we have the Germans with Aldi and Lidl, with Fingers saying Lidl are better while urging Buy British! Truly buying British varies from very difficult to impossible, just another of the many...

Glad to learn it's running ok again. It was probably a faulty connection which you've disturbeed back to good connectivity. That's why I mention making and remaking connections in my online advice since that is a common problem. .
