Yeah it’s happening.
More pertinent is if this is actually the desired outcome as @sun_tzu has outlined, to force through the intended consequences.

Am I being dramatic or is this the most chaotic day in our country's politics in any of our lifetimes?
"I'm working on a deal". Thank goodness for that.
He's preparing a bid.
Indicative Votes day was fairly chaotic!
And it will seem to be the calmest and most sensible day of the week by the time parliament closes early next week
Build up to Iraq war was quite nuts too.
Well we no longer need to wonder what it'd be like if we had Trump at the dispatch box
BJ is absolutely terrible answering questions under pressure. I thought he’d be so much better.
He is definitely not suited to be a dictator.

I thought Johnson would be better at the dispatch box than this. He's on the back foot the whole time.
Johnson called the other parties a 'junta' earlier today.

When he does answer a question it is so vague.

It took three of them to cobble together that story and lift a quote from the Mirror
Is she an Inter fan?
Be interesting to see if the poll reflected the real feelings, considering the small number actually polled (15000 over 112 areas is barely a 100 people per area).
The issue with polls regarding the EU referendum, is that they have been consistently wrong.

Not surprising when the most Tory of Torys is the current Lib Dem leader. She makes the likes of Gove and Hunt look like Choir Boys.
I think referendum result day was more chaotic - Cameron going, pound plummeting, move against Corbyn etc. Though today it all feels more tangible.
Out of interest, if BJ loses election and leader of Conservatives position, who would their next leader be?!
Presumably many leading moderates would be deselected so not in parliament.

Yep pretty much.
Gove? Unless they opt for a younger Conservative to try and shift the image of the Conservative Party, like Cameron in 2005.
This is like Transfer deadline day... still holding out for one last dramatic Chuka move before it closes...
This is the only other day I feel is in the conversation. Today has plenty left before it ends.
He might send Theresa May and Philip Hammond to train with the reserves.
Can’t see that, as by then Tory BrExit plans would have been proven to be unpalatable to electorate, so why would they appoint such a prominent brexiter? Problem is most moderates would also be deselected to the party would be royally screwed!
They're being held hostage by Farage and UKIP so I don't see them going for a progressive anytime soon.
All we need is some old fart being interviewed out his car.
Corbyn has a bicycle.
Yeah. The drama of today has barely started!
What on earth does a Tory MP see in the Lib Dems?
North Indians are Caucasian, the gypsies, who followed their king out of North India are Caucasian.
By saying that Caucasians are only white it shows your racism.
Do you know where the Caucasus is? Georgia. And the people of the caucasus went both East and West, so into what you now call western Europe and far into India. That much is proven with DNA
Even the police call use the term "white Caucasian" when referring to white people. If the term Caucasian meant white, the "white" at the beginning of that phrase would be redundant.
Actually maybe you're not racist, just ignorant and appear racist. I'm sorry that reading your words led me to assume that you were purposely ignoring more than half of the Caucasian population.
Plus, there are white Europeans who are not Caucasian, like the Finnish, so, seriously, do some reading before you try to wum again
Fun times to work for a major importer
For sure, in this instance though he would only have an issue if it had a large majority for the leave vote, it was marginal at 47% so he's probably pretty confident it has swung, even more confident even less voted for the shit-show BJ is trying to force through.
Apparently he lost a confidence vote in his constituency last year so his confidence is perhaps misplaced.
That's straight out of Cummings election plan play book.
There would be no problem ditching Labour these days for old labour people, who find they have nothing in common with the loony left, nor the Islington elite; however getting them to vote Tory even for Brexit might test their will and is still a big ask. So Nigel's troops stand up and the Tories stand down in such seats, simples... don't forget the similar 'switches' will occur in Tory remain seats where a popular but Tory rebel has been deselected but stands as an independent, or where a deal is done with the Lib-Dems/Greens/Welsh Nats.
Election night will be a fun filled fiasco (if you like that sort of thing) as the pundits try to find out/predict who is winning, with old party loyalties out of the window, their calculations will be all over the place... bet nobody promises to eat their hat this time (with due respect to Paddy's memory)
