So this is the plan. To stop the dreaded ‘no deal Brexit’ upon which Boris is so intent. Jeremy Corbyn will have a vote of no confidence in the government. For which really, there is no logical nor political argument. No-one has any confidence in the government. Nor the one before, nor probably, seventeen others going back to Maggie. And then the only confidence you had was that she’d do precisely as she saw fit. Furthermore, there is no possibility of any government, no matter how diverse in its Brexit spectrumisation (new word, sometimes the old ones just won’t do), that would have the confidence of the whole country. You can appease the leavers but only with a no-deal or something similarly ‘hard’. You can appease the remainers, but only by making Brexit look like staying a member of the EU still. Or you can pitch some middle ground, as Theresa May did, and please absolutely no-one.

So ‘no confidence’ works really.

Then, as happens after such a vote is won (assuming it is) anyone else can form a government. Corbyn, UKIP, Greens, Lila. Ok, Lila is neither an MP nor an official party but she’d definitely win my vote. So Le Corbyn is suggesting that he leads some sort of hodge-podge coalition as ‘interim PM’ just to avoid ‘no deal’ and then he’d call a general election to work out what everyone really thinks. He’d need the Scots, probably the Welsh and possibly several other lesser parties to achieve this aim and on some levels it almost makes as much sense as anything else in Westminster these days.

Except its Corbyn. My own, personal and absolutely non-negotiable red line.

And there is just NO situation whatsoever in which I’d want him even temporarily acting as Prime Minister. I’d rather see Britain banished by the entire world than have him as ‘my leader’. I’d leave Europe tomorrow and forever and even give up Spurs place in the Champions League!!! To allow him into number 10, which he’d probably convert into a commune for abused workers, is simply unthinkable. And they’re all abused. Blinkered is one thing but never mind not seeing wood for trees, Corbyn is totally tree-blind too. He is a communist. Which as a philosophical social construct is interesting but as a political paradigm is an abject failure always and everywhere. He is not an anti-Semite but he seems to collect them like a dog collects fleas. But most of all; he’s a low-grade, intellectually-lite, gravitas-free joke. To have him as our ‘boss’, temporary or otherwise, would further enhance our nation’s joke status even beyond what this Brexit fiasco has already done.

ANYTHING BUT CORBYN. Simple as ‘ABC’.

Happy Thursday
