Why should they?

Prominent loyalist Robert Girvan said: "I can’t see loyalism of any strand just walking into a situation where there is any type of economic union with the Irish Republic. I was talking to someone who said we’ll see how hard the border is if bombs start going off in Limerick."

He said groups such as the UVF had been formed to protect Northern Ireland's place in the union. "If that place is threatened, the organisations will step up to the mark," he said.

"This is not empty rhetoric. When a loyalist says ‘over my dead body’, they mean it. The dog is in the trap and we are waiting to see when the hare will be released,"

They're already in an economic union with Ireland by virtue of the fact that both are presently in the EU.

😂 have stated on here before that I don’t know if I am right wing, left wing, bingo wing or chicken wing. Life will go on, any other problems will be of people’s own making.

Yeah, like being born with the "wrong" skin colour and stuff like that init?

Because I have close friends with young families who aren't British citizens who are I'll with worry over what psychopaths like Priti Patel will do to them.

See Kuennsberg is tweeting that if it's voted down tonight it will be a December general election - have we not already seen Johnson try to set up a general election at a time of his choosing and failed? Twice?

Would expect her to know this - although she has used her 'No 10 Source' pish. Incidentally I read this about the press and 'No. 10 Sources' only a couple of hours ago and it is far more eloquent than drunken me was at 3am on Sunday morning: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/british-journalists-have-become-part-of-johnsons-fake-news-machine/

I think Labour will agree to an election if the bill gets defeated and the EU grant an extension. It's all about timing to avoid crashing out in the lead up.

I read something about a one line Bill to overturn the FTPA. 

That would require a simple majority and the Tories are hoping the SNP would support it on the basis that the SNP really want a GE.

I don’t think that will happen.

I don't see how Labour could refuse one if (when) the EU offer an extension.
