Philip Lee joins the Lib Dems on 18:53 - Sep 3 by Nthsuffolkblue
Is BoJo not now leading a minority government as opposed to a minority government propped up by the DUP?
If he chooses to resign anyone else is entitled to attempt to form a different coalition or minority government are they not?
The fixed term parliament act means he can't just call a general election without the support of parliament doesn't it?
Yep Think so Yep
Fair to say he's not having the best of days so far. And it may well get worse for him at after 10pm. Still at least he can go home and play with his puppy after this is all over.

That whole session looked like a remarkable piece of theatre. Lee crossing the floor as Boris was talking - you could see his gears turning trying to work out how to deal with that. Boris blatantly lying about the talks (lack of) and detailed backstop plans (also lack of). Gove's poker face was simply superb given the nonsense he was talking about. Blackford showing Corbyn how to dig the knife in. Amazing really.
That's the first decent performance I have seen from Ian Blackford, I guess everyone has to be good at something...

The numbers mean that whoever tries to form a government will be a minority. We can't carry on like this. Even if a GE results in another hung Parliament there should at least be the numbers for a coalition government.

Lets hope so.
This is chaos. And the levels of hypocrisy and dishonesty are frightening.
If we let this ride and Boris gets away with it all- we are basically in Trumpsville.
