Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell have the smell of power in their nostrils

The Brexit drama is getting worse. We're now in an Alice in Wonderland situation. Boris Johnson has lost his majority after some Tory MP decides to get his 15 seconds of fame by defecting to the Liberal Democrats and, in true House of Commons theatrical style, crosses the floor to take up residence with his new party. I'm not even going to name this pathetic MP. He will sink into oblivion. But yet more bad news for Boris although, to be frank, there was no workable majority anyway. But it was just another ingredient in an afternoon of hysteria. Will Boris survive the attempt to force him by legislation to drop the option of a no-deal Brexit? Even if does or even if he doesn't, will it make any difference? We seem to have got to the point where the Theresa May withdrawal agreement which has been rejected THREE times by the House of Commons is now seen by Boris and his government as fine provided the EU drops the Irish border backstop. But the EU has said it will not drop this insurance policy to keep the border open between north and south Ireland. So where exactly are all these encouraging signs of movement by the EU negotiators claimed by Boris? There is no indication that the EU will change anything dramatic, despite what seemed like reasonable comments from both Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron last week. If they do offer changes BUT stick with the Irish backstop, there will be no deal. So negotiating with the EU is a lost cause and Boris should come out and say so instead of trying to suggest there is going to be a miracle between now and the EU summit next month. The politics of this country is so torn apart that even if there was a miracle and it did include rowing back on the Irish backstop I doubt the House of Commons will approve because it's all too late. There is so much hatred and division that now it's nothing to do with a deal or a no-deal Brexit. It's about power. As simple as that. Jeremy Corbyn, Labour leader, believes he has a real chance of ousting Boris from Downing Street, and the Marxist Leninist John McDonnell, Chancelllor-in-waiting, is probably choosing the curtains for Number 11 even now. These two are not going to do anything that might prevent them from seizing power. They will promise anything and everything. But do they want a general election right now? They claim they do but they have to be worried about the numbers. Labour has lost ground in recent surveys and the Liberal Democrats are looking good in voters' eyes. Then there is the ghastly Brexit party led by the incomparably awful Nigel Farage. Could they zip ahead if there is an election next month? Oh God I hope not! Farage actually wants a no-deal Brexit. I assume he never passed maths exams at school!! But the ones to watch out for are Corbyn and McDonnell. They have the smell of power in their nostrils. In that sense, Boris is our only hope!
