i am back, i am nigel benjamin button then.en. i am back, i am ready, one more time. headway the brain injury charity have expressed their concerns saying that boxing at any age is an inherently dangerous sport. earlier i spoke to the boxing writer and broadcaster steve bunce who thinks benn has taken on too tough an opponent. he is fighting a man who only two and half three years ago was fighting for world titles, fighting the best in the world. sakio bika might be a0 plus but he is still a handful, so much so if i was a matchmaker i would keep him away from my younger boxers who are competing in britain. he is coming backin competing in britain. he is coming back in what is a hard fight. the bottom line test here is the one we will not know. when he is let alone in the ring with sakio bika, and thatis in the ring with sakio bika, and that is how much his punch resista nce that is how much his punch resistance is left. not his desire orstamina, he has resistance is left. not his desire or stamina, he has already been described

nigel.igel, who i have known for 25 years, i nigel, who i have known for 25 yea rs, i voted nigel, who i have known for 25 years, i voted for a withdrawal agreement that would have got us out. it is clear to me that i want a deal, i am out. it is clear to me that i want a deal, iam not out. it is clear to me that i want a deal, i am not faking out. it is clear to me that i want a deal, iam not faking remain, i don't think anybody is, i think they are doing the best for the country. ido are doing the best for the country. i do not believe it is giving the order paper, it is a very simple bill and reinforces what the prime minister says, it gives him the time out. the other codes bearing on lots of peoples minds is what katya adler said on the news last night, it is not no to no deal that is frustrating the europeans, it has some of my colleagues who tweeted last week that they will vote against any deal the prime minister brings back, which is another good reason why we should put this in pla

what do you think about nigel farage and his brexit party? laughter.hat would put you off? i think him himself puts me off. at a nearby deli, joe and van are both leave voters. what you've got to ask yourself is, what policies do the brexit party have other than brexit. once that happens, they become a little bit redundant. i agree with a lot of what nigel farage says, but i'm not sure i would vote that way. what would stop you? ijust don't think... i don't think they're ready to take on and run the country. if they were going to go hand in hand with the conservatives, then possibly. but with their offer refused, that seems a way off, and the race still on to win round brexit backers. alex forsyth, bbc news, sedgefield. after such a momentous and eventful day in this bumpy brexit process, our deputy political editorjohn pienaar is with me. the direct question, where does it leave the prime minister? it leaves boris johnson in strange and unexplored territory. it has been extraordinary to see a conservative prime minister, historically a defender of bri

nigel: that it drags on and on.int out, we are at risk of a cell induced recession -- self-inflicted recession. we cannot let that happen. there is such a great investment environment and very low rates. we have to step forward and do the right thing for the people of britain. vonnie: nigel wilson, chief executive for legal & general. you can catch all of our interviews on the bloomberg with the function tv . from new york, and for amanda lang in toronto, this is bloomberg. ♪ mark: i'm mark crumpton with bloomberg's first word news. members of parliament are debating whether to force boris johnson's government to publish its preparations for no deal brexit. they are weighing whether the prime minister can ignore a law intended to stop the u.k. from leaving the european union without an agreement on october 31. prime minister johnson is trying to make it harder for lawmakers to block his plans for a do or die brexit. he has decided to suspend the u.k. parliament at the end of business today until october 14. the

nigel farage is insistent that he wants a no deal brexit.hat nigel farage's brexit party will fight the conservative party ha rd will fight the conservative party hard for the leave vote, and although the conservatives have made considerable progress in advancing their position against nigel farage's determined opposition, they may find that making further progress p roves may find that making further progress proves to be quite difficult. what did you think of his address to the nation in downing street today? he was talking about — trying to sound very reasonable, saying he wants and a deal with brussels and says progress is being made, and also outline his spending commitments. making it clear in a way that the tory party is now no longer the party of austerity. that's right, he was insisting, and attempt to try to persuade those tory mps who are minded perhaps to vote for the legislation this week this that he is on course to achieving a deal, although it is a claim that we have heard others, including hilary benn, dispute. what is also

that was nigel farage. he is currently speaking at the last brexit party rally in london.us what he was saying. you heard some of the strategy the brexit party will be employing going into a general election. they did well in the european elections, getting 29 of the 73 available seats for the uk getting 29 of the 73 available seats forthe uk and getting 29 of the 73 available seats for the uk and the european parliament. very broadly his strategy is, as he set out, is to stand everywhere. however he has offered the conservatives what he calls a nonaggression pact. what that means is if the conservative government were to agree to what nigel farage terms a clean break brexit or eight no—deal brexit as many people would commonly understand it, the brexit party would not field candidates in any conservative seat or any target seats, instead focusing on leave voting constituencies, labour constituencies, but the conservatives would have to agree not to stand in some seats that the brexit party wanted them not to. the conservatives have poured cold water over that in recent we

that is get the thoughts of nigel nelson. —— political week.is your reaction to what the prime minister said outside downing street this evening? i think we are heading for the general election. assuming that the general election. assuming that the rebel alliance have the numbers to actually get things through, i think the only option he has got is go straight to general election. he would have that sinoti could so i suppose we are looking at october the 14th. tony blair was saying that an election would be an elephant trap for labour, how do you see that? tony blair has a good point there. one of the ways of stopping a no—deal brexit would be simply under the fixed term for two thirds of mps to say i do not want an election. on that basis, borisjohnson could not go ahead. if they wanted to guarantee a new deal, that is the way to go. however, opposition parties cannot go around rejecting an election. labour have been calling for an election for two yea rs. to calling for an election for two years. to turn around now and say we do not want one,

the conservative vote might be split with nigel farage's party. labour constituencies are more inclined to vote for the brexit party than the conservative party. they see the conservative party. they see the conservative the old enemy. they wouldn't vote for the conservatives but they would vote for nigel farage. absolutely. and the remaining voters would go to the lib dems when they would never have voted for than before. if i was a far right tory, from the erg, i would be upset. the chair of the erg has called for a working relationship with them. and in that piece, the brexit party said they would not put up a candidate against erg candidates. is it happening already? we have mentioned dominic cummingsafew already? we have mentioned dominic cummings a few times. a figure with so cummings a few times. a figure with so much authority and power who appears in number10. so much authority and power who appears in number 10. there is a story in the observer about anger over a westminster security parcel at dominic cummings. demanding to know why bori

boris johnson and nigel farage.. nigel farage will be saying, hang on, which should just be leaving without a deal. therefore one can anticipate that the brexit party will stand and will not necessarily back borisjohnson and there will be a battle for what is left of the leave folk that the brexit party are standing for. john curtice. i‘m not sure if you‘re sick at brexit of home but looking at the most watched and read on our website, there as an indication that you might be because the most read and watched the stories are about food! one is actually a teenager who is blind from living off chips and crisps. eye doctors in bristol looked after this 17—year—old boy who has suffered irreparable sight loss after living on a diet of chips and crisps. since leaving primary school he had only eating french fries, pringles and white bread as well as an occasional slice of ham oi’ well as an occasional slice of ham ora well as an occasional slice of ham or a sausage well as an occasional slice of ham or a sausage and has s

nigel farage's insession stand he wants a no—deal brexit, so there is at least a risk that nigel faragerd for the leave vote and although the conservatives have so far made progress among that vote, in advancing their position, against the nigel farage's determined opposition they may find making progress p roves opposition they may find making progress proves difficult. what did you think of his address to the nation, in downing street today. he was talking about you know, trying to sound reasonable, saying he wants a deal with brussels, progress is being made with brussels and outlining the spending commitment and making it clear in a way that the tory party now is no longer the party of authority —— austerity. there were two striking aspects clearly to the speech apart from the veiled reference to the possibility ofan veiled reference to the possibility of an early election. one is his attempt to try and persuade the tory mps who are mined to vote for the legislation that would outlaw a no—deal. it is a claim that as you heard others dispute. of course what is interesting is that the

that is what nigel farage definitely wants.right. it is the mainstream conservative party in britain, ever since the 1930s and pg woodhouse satirising... the sort of teen pop character. —— tin pot. it is always been in the tory psychology, a fear of... i'm writing that for as she sat, but a fear of people who can be identified as extremist. so it is a big calculation they have to make. do they go divided are united? yes, do they do a deal with the brexit party? it is the same problem the other side have. the rebel alliance have to decide. i think this election is so hard to predict because the two party system is really broken down and there are all these photos with this shift of the tory party morphing into a brexit party, a hardcore brexit party. it has left millions of voters politically homeless. from across the spectrum, tory remainers, who want to respect the referendum but don't want no deal, tory brexiteers who don't want no deal. tories of all stripes who believe in fiscal prudence — where do they go in this new setup

nigel evans was just about to speak, a conservative mp, who is gay.sues with the content and the way it was taught? no, but i might have done 30 years ago, but we have moved on since then, i have changed my views completely. i didn't come out openly as gay until i was in my 50s. when i was growing up in swansea i wish i had been introduced to lessons just like that. why? it may well have been that i would have come out openly as gay not thinking that there was something wrong, that i would have frustrated or hidden my feelings, which are absolutely natural, which are portrayed in that book. and sadly we've heard a few views this morning which seem to suggest to me that there is something wrong in somebody who is either lesbian, gay, or of some other natural feelings. and that does disturb me and i am not surprised, simon, that those books are banned in some countries because i've talked to a lot of politicians from a number of countries where it's illegal to be gay. and that is absolutely bonkers in the 21st century. let me bring in karen. are you mov

i listen to what nigel evans as that. i listen to what nigel eva ns says as that.want to keep on selling us those cars, the only way that will happen tariff free is if we negotiate a proper deal, which will happen. nigel doesn't understand how cars are made in this country. it is a long supply chain between here and other european countries, and the cutting off of that supply chain will be damaging. ca rs that supply chain will be damaging. cars are made across europe these days and we are cutting ourselves off. i'm trying to be clear for viewers here. just let's talk about numbers, have you got the numbers to stop what you want, stop a no deal brexit? we don't know until the motion and the bill is put before the house of commons. i think, what i've seen is members from all different parties, from conservatives, from labour, from the liberal democrats and others saying, actually, we won't tolerate no deal. if you look at that broad spread of people who are saying that, i would advise borisjohnson to people who are saying that, i would advise boris johnson to listen

with me are nigel nelson and jo phillips. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. have been looking at these front pages since about... well, you have been here for three hours. these front pages are very well—thumbed tonight. there's more from david cameron's memoirs on the front page of the sunday times, including further criticism of borisjohnson, who according to mr cameron "didn't believe in brexit" and backed the leave campaign only to "help his political career." the mail on sunday's headline: "we'll break free from the eu like the incredible hulk." in an interview with the paper, mrjohnson says that if brexit negotiations break down, he'll ignore the vote to avoid no—deal, adding "the madder hulk gets, the stronger hulk gets." sam gyimah‘s defection to the liberal democrats dominates the front page of the observer. the former tory minister accuses the prime minister of "veering towards populism and english nationalism." the sunday telegaph claims borisjohnson will use the upcoming queen's speech to unveil a tough new approach to criminaljustice, including w

the radical left, including this conservative mp, nigel evans?de is that when i was growing up, allthe attitude is that when i was growing up, all the messages that were being sent to me, whether it was officially or unofficially, was that if you had gay feelings, there was something wrong with you and you had to suppress that sort of thing. even growing up, as i did... you are a member of parliament. you should have found out more about what is happening in the protests. i as a campaigner, i will not accept anyone who is homophobic in my campaign. why do you say it is homophobic? why is it not just why do you say it is homophobic? why is it notjust simply parents, good pa rents is it notjust simply parents, good parents who simply want to take their children away from this kind of lesson, because it adds up to them how they bring their children up them how they bring their children up when it comes to relationships and family units? you are calling them homophobic. they are homophobic because they are denying our existence. they don't want to fa

if he still does this and goes back on his word, he can say that he had been forced to do this, but nigelrs that you cannot trust boris johnson they are to vote for the brexit party. how doubt that damaging would that be for the tory party? it can leave a couple of thousand votes to the brexit party, that could deprive them of the majority and will be very tight and a lot of seats what they're going to need to succeed in a general election and get back to having a majority is to squeeze that brexit vote down and if they do something like seeking an extension,. and if he gets a deal, there are some handsome possibilities that may be open to this and that and may be a deal? who knows. it is too early to say, they are not there yet and obviously, we have heard michel barnier say that brexit negotiations that we are still waiting for the government proposals on how they would like to change the withdrawal agreement, what they propose to replace the backstop with which you are hearing reports that talks are taking place, actually what is happening and next week will be crucial in that respect.

nigel is on the phone. where is it going?ple we voted three and a half years ago to leave the european union for brexit. we were promised by the conservative and labor parties at the last general election they would deliver it. and now, here we are just 55 days away from the date which we would leave and what is happening, our politicians, parliament, our professional globalist political class are using every trick in the book to stop it having and they've passed a piece of legislation this week forbidding for boris johnson taking us out without signing a new treaty. we're very deep in crisis and i can tell you, millions of people are angrier than i've ever seen them before. neil: what happens, nigel? he failed at trying to get this no deal thing done. he failed at calling, so far, for snap elections. a lot of people say his days are limited. is it that bad? >> well, he's in trouble, yes. he's had a very tough week, including, unbelievably, the resignation of his own brother. and that must hurt. i mean, you know, you think of

if you find the ideals of nigel farage to be something you do not want to support i am not sure how youre how you can support the boys johnson conservative party. what about those who say there it was a referendum and we have to leave ee to respect the referendum and that is what by shots is trying to do, he does not agree with nigel farage on other things but this is about delivering on the people. three occasions philip hammond voted for theresa may's which all agreements which would save united kingdom leave the european union boris johnson would save united kingdom leave the european union borisjohnson did not. thank you very much indeed and we will see you tomorrow. may be and we will see you tomorrow. may be and we will see you tomorrow. may be and we will hear more from labour about how they feel about boris johnson calling for a general election. thank you very much indeed and let's mull over a little bit more tonight's dramatic events in the comments with the brexit editor at the daily telegraph. and also we have the wall streetjournal. you will be reviewing the paper is a litt

we'll bring you a full paper review at 11:30 — i'll bejoined by nigel nelson, political editor at thet tomorrow's front pages in depth. first, here's a quick look at some of tomorrow's papers. the mail on sunday's headline: "we'll break free from the eu like the incredible hulk". in an interview with the paper — borisjohnson says that if brexit negotiations break down — he'll ignore the vote to avoid no—deal — adding — ‘the madder hulk gets, the stronger hulk gets. sam gyimah‘s defection to the liberal democrats dominates the front page of the observer. the former tory minister accuses the prime minister of ‘veering towards populism and english nationalism'. the sunday telegaph claims mrjohnson will use the upcoming queen's speech to unveil a tough new approach to criminaljustice — including whole—life orders for people convicted of murdering pre—school children. and the sunday express claims british people have lost faith in mps — citing a poll suggesting almost eight in ten believe parliament is in desperate need of reform and 74% believe it is not fit for the 21st century. the new

at number two the clip by nigel farage than borisjohnson should offer his resignation.. brilliant night for colchester as they knocked tottenham out of the carabao cup in what was the upset of the night. 0—0 after 90 minutes, and it was the league two side who held their nerve on penalties. we don't have the rights to show the pictures, but we can hear from the spurs boss mauricio pochettino — who's tried to find the positives. disappointed, of course. in football, at times like this it is not so positive. we need to stick and be strong and try to be hard in our analysis and try to find solutions. that analysis will surely look what has been a really bad recent run for spurs. since mid—february in all competitions they've played 26 matches, lost 12, drawn 6 and won just 8 games. remember they somehow managed to get to a champions league final in that time. plenty of reaction to that defeat for spurs in the papers, and some analysis of what it means for them moving forward. the sun calls it a "slap in the face," whilst the guardian point out that spurs haven't won a trop

the best position to rally those who want to leave going forward what you say there is exactly what nigel frauds would like like to think bear in mind however that british elections require lots of seats on the ground lots of local campaigners and that's what the conservatives at least gold for breaks a policy is much more of a media operation it's very it's very polished in the way it comes over but it can actually do election campaigning on the ground and that's why essentially boris johnson's pitch is essentially to lose votes as to who voted for the brakes and part of european elections in may come back to the conservatives with a real brick city is now and to try trying to unite all of those programs the voters behind the conservative policy he thinks the next election will be forced on bricks it rather than being forced on other topics and that's he's clear pitch come back to the conservatives we have the true bright city is now ok thanks very much and again we're going to take a deeper look at that in just a moment the detail in your opening statement said that democratic convictio

, whenever it is, no reason to vote for nigel farage over him, that's part of his strategy perhaps.e are not yet in a a constitutional crisis because the wheels of the constitution are still running, and this is happening and we will have to wait and see what happens on tuesday and how ultimately the government response to that. the wheels on the bus keep going round! the guardian, they havejohn bercow backin the guardian, they havejohn bercow back in the news, he can't seem to stay out of it, can he? this is a direct warning to number 10. some interesting remarks from john bercow. obviously john bercow announced this week he would be standing down at the end of next month, but i don't think anybody expected him to go quietly. obviously in the last few years he has repeatedly criticised by brexiteers for not being an impartial speaker. he's not afraid to stay in the fray. he'll be doing all he can to prevent a no—deal brexit until the very last moment, it seems. has he been a good speaker, do you think, john bercow? i'm not one to judge on these things... go on! it was interesting,

the conservative mp, leading brexit supporter, former deputy speaker nigel evans, who went into numbero number ten just a few moments ago, he sang bring it on, talking about a general election? yes, there's been a lot of speculation about that today, in the end borisjohnson speculation about that today, in the end boris johnson has speculation about that today, in the end borisjohnson has a majority of one on paper. actually his majority doesn't fully exist. how long can he go on with that? i'm not sure they're necessarily what a general election but if his choices, you're to be forced to ask for a later brexit, he simply cannot do that politically because he has nigel farage in the brexit party breathing down his neck, so it's better to have a general election may be in the middle of october. but it's not as easy as it used to be, a prime minister can'tjust call a general election, yes to put it to the house of commons, there are various ways, you would normally needs two thirds of mps, labour would need to vote for it. general carbon has been calling for an election for a long time b

and this may be the only way in which he's able to get the brexit party of nigel farage to support him. but the irony of that, of course, is the one thing that has galvanized the opposition, it is otherwise 2ki6ded, the labour party for example is unwilling to commit unambiguously to remain in the european union. the one thing they are committed to is blocking a no deal. so this becomes a very high-stakes issue as we move down the road and potentially face another general election in the uk. >> all right. so if the bill succeeds, boris johnson could call this snap election. if that happens, what would be the likely outcome of that? you've looked at the numbers. how do you think this would work for the government? >> just to look at the procedure. and boris johnson is in a very difficult position here because of the changes that took place in 2011 around the ways in which elections are called, a sitting prime minister can no longer call for snap election. he can go to parliament and ask for their support but he needs a 2/3 majority. so right now parliament controls the issue unless they

brics a party but in fact britain already has it that party namely the new party founded in january by nigel thrush so wouldn't it rather than boris johnson's reconstituted conservatives be in the best position to rowdy those who want to leave going forward what you see there is exactly what much of frauds would like like to think byrne months however the british elections require lots of seats on the grounds lots of local campaigners amounts what the conservatives at least gold . for all his breaks in policy is much more of a media operation it's very it's very polished in the way it comes over but it can actually do election campaigning on the ground and that's why essentially boris johnson's pitch is essentially to lose votes as to who voted for the brakes and part of european elections in may come back to the conservatives with a real brick city is now and to try is trying to unite all of those programs the voters behind the conservative policy he thinks the next election will be force on bret's its role of the main force on other topics and that's he's clear pitch come back to the conse

is that because he is trying to out brexit party the brexit party and out nigel farage nigel farage,that is what he has to do? and before parliament returned, he had the opportunity to go around the country and make all sorts of pronouncements. he didn't have to face boats in the house of commons and was able to present himself both as a fresh face and a very strong leader, because that strength wasn't being challenged. but now, of course, he has come up against the immovable object of his lack of majority in the house of commons, and some of the shine is starting to come off his presentation of himself as a strong leader. you are absolutely right that what he is seeking to do is to minimise the threat from the brexit party and present himself as mr brexit. the danger for that is, party and present himself as mr brexit. the dangerfor that is, and the reason i think his tactics are very unwise for a conservative party leader, is that in order to do that he has kicked out of the party, certainly the parliamentary party, people who a lot of wavering voters responded very well, people li

now it's nigel benjamin button. the older i get, the fitter i am and i 100% mean that. hello again.e usa were hit with a knockout blow. it's two wins and two bonus points for england who hit their stride at the rugby world with seven tries in their 45—7 win in kobe. patrick gearey reports. to face the united states, here was new england, ten changes from the team that took on tonga, we were promised this england would play faster and sometimes speed is in the mind. today's captain, george ford, spotted a highway to america, a short trip for the first try. it went quiet for a while before england realised the best way to crack the states was through strength in numbers billy vunipolo went over and then luke cowan—dickie was escorted into american territory, 19—0 at the break. the eagles, as the us team are known, are fast rising but england were quick still. jonathanjoseph whirled his way to the brink of the line and joe cokanasiga batted away any remaining resistance. opportunities now for personal landmarks, like ruaridh mcconnochie. who has worked his way from division five rugby

and here's something for nigel — well, everyone named nigel. across england and wales through today and into tomorrow. lots of flood warnings out there. the wetter weather is pushing up from the south—west, turning wetter in wales, rain in northern ireland, the midlands and towards the south—east. before then, 17 or 18 degrees. further north, dry with spells of sunshine. that rain heavy over the hills of wales and through the midlands. patchy, lighter rain continues across northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland. to the south, a woman night, clear spells, showers not far away. further north in scotland it will be colder, sunshine, showers in the north. the rain will move away, brightening up here, patchy rain continues in northern england with widespread showers further south across england and wales, threatening some localised flooding. 18 degrees here, further north at 10-12dc. today at 5, a major economic response is being planned by the government, in the event of a no—deal brexit. the chancellor also tells the conservative

telegraph leads on comments from the the leader of the house of commons, jacob rees—mogg, praising nigelto the conservative party after britain has left the eu. there's more brexit in the express — the paper says the eu wants to see borisjohnsons brexit plan injust 12 days time. the guardian says saudia arabia has shown off what it says is wreckage of drones and cruise missiles that proves iranian involvement in weekend attacks on two oilfacilities. the paper says the move increases pressure on president donald trump to respond to the attack. the times says the home office is manipulating crime figures by telling the national anti—fraud service to dismiss tens of thousands of legitimate cases. the financial times says israel is in political limbo and faces weeks of coalition talks, after benjamin neta nyahu and his chief rival benny gantz came neck and neck in the country's national election. so, all sorts of places we can start, but why don't we start with the guardian? and a very striking headline, saudis to trump: here's oui’ headline, saudis to trump: here's our proof, now world must

side of that divide, the danger is they are banned in communities like the south wales valleys to nigelwho offers them no hope austerity and public services and that is the message. it put you at a huge disadvantage in any general election where we have borisjohnson any general election where we have boris johnson with any general election where we have borisjohnson with a pretty clear position. the liberal democrats with a pretty clear position. the brexit party with a pretty clear position and alan johnson, former party with a pretty clear position and alanjohnson, former home secretary saying the other day, we are going to get slaughtered if that is our position in the general election. but just election. butjust think election. but just think about that for one second. but that is really saying is you pick a side and is a winner ta kes you pick a side and is a winner takes all. i think our approach to politics is to gamble everything on asi, politics is to gamble everything on a51, 49 politics is to gamble everything on a 51, 49 vote and we politics is to gamble everything on a 51,4

here is it because as the point was made in lawrence's report that maybe he fears losing votes to nigel farage is the party. that's exactly right dominic cummings here is laura's to say it is the power behind the throne has decided johnson and his government has to take the most hardline aggressive ruthless approach to if you like cleanse the tory party purge it of any kind of one nation moderate tradition any kind of anti heartbreaks it the point certainly in order to appeal to that 3rd of the british population who is insisting on a no deal breaks it but the problem they have is that even if they were to appeal to that 3rd of the population and we know the knowledge of iraq they would in turn alienates thousands and thousands of tourists motorists and remain is on the other side who would be repelled by the tories latest move do you believe he he is prepared by boris johnson you do believe he's prepared to ignore the law and go ahead with it with a no deal once the. law against or no deal is is passed and becomes the more the land. i mean this is really unique dangerous language that

and of course, we've got nigel farage who is aiming to stand a person at each constituency in the next, this next general election,, this next general election, will probably have one. it will be very interesting. in the next five, ten years or so. it's a good queue to move the sun. it has this rather striking image. taunts to the leader of the opposition, to go ahead, not accept. it's a sign of being afraid. but it's interesting, i've also seen analysis that says actually, some would see it as a trap, that actually if there were to be an election and the bill to stop no deal brexit is not fully passed into law, that all those efforts that we've seen by mps in the commons would just fall by the wayside stop yes, and we had tony blair, the ex—uk prime minister saying an early election could be an elephant trap for the labor party and perhaps this is why the labour party is pushing back and saying, we will consider voting for an election. but not until no deal brexit has definitely been taken off the table. it's interesting, the bill that they are pushing through parliament right now, th
