Impressive work from Boris. Lost his majority even quicker than the Maybot.

Nearly, it’s Phillip Lee.

They have a working majority of -1. It's positive in a negative way. What happened to the DUP too - last I heard they were going to 'renegotiate' the terms of their support (presumably means asking for more cash)?

This has caused the Liberal Democrat Party to lose a member (not a Member of Parliament but with their base it could still be significant):

Lib Dems' LGBT chair resigns over Lee defection
Jennie Rigg, chair of the Lib Dems LGBT group, says on Twitter that she has sent an email to the membership resigning after the party accepted Phillip Lee as an MP.

Among her concerns is his support in 2014 for banning HIV-positive immigrants from Britain.

In a blogpost, Ms Rigg accused him of being a "homophobe, a xenophobe, and someone who thinks people should be barred from the country if they are ill".'

Ha. You can take the boy from the Tories, but you can never take the Tory out of the boy. What a mess.


Anyway Letwin up, asks for urgent debate on no deal. Bercow agrees. It starts....

Don’t worry, in the event Corbyn ‘won’ an election he would be a long way short of a working majority too.

He was just interviewed about that on the radio and answered rather well.

Could all be lies of course but sounded like the Lib Dem member could possibly have researched more thoroughly.

Now that they're a minority will they start legislating against themselves and telling each other to 'go back to where they come from'?

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

Always find it amusing that an MP can fight for a seat based on his partys principles and then can simply decide he believes in an oppisition partys views and can do so with a clear conscience. It's happening more regularly now. It won't be long before they introduce a fottie style transfer system. The cynic in me thinks that modern MPs are simply career policitions and have no real morals.
