Confronting Flake (who declared his intention to vote in favour of Kavanaugh)

Dr. Ford recounts that her work email was hacked and emails sent
"recanting" her allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, and that her
family had to flee from their own home and move from place to place
fearing for their safety. -

Just got to this part (on phone calls with leaders after his surprise win):
Before any of the calls could be made, however, the president of Egypt
called in to the switchboard at Trump Tower and somehow got the
operator to put him straight through to Trump. “Trump was like ... I
love the Bangles! You know that song Walk Like an Egyptian?” recalled
one of his advisers on the scene. -

That seems a little naive. A great deal is achieved via cross-party working, and it seems reasonable to expect elected officials to understand how to be effective while on the wrong side of parliamentary arithmetic. For a party to abandon all hope of influencing the course of events simply because it is in opposition is nonsensical. If that was the case then there would be little point in having an opposition until the end of an electoral cycle. And even then you might expect the incumbents to stand a greater chance of staying in power by virtue of the opposition having had too little visibility to make an impact during the term of the parliament. Fortunately, Labour looks like it might be beginning wake up from its navel-gazing torpor, so perhaps we might start to see some progress.

It would presumably have to be a FPTP type of vote?

In relation to the discussion above, if there were an election prior to leaving the EU, and there was a party that committed to having a further referendum that included an option to remain in the EU, then I would definitely consider supporting that party. The political orientation of that party would be a secondary consideration (i.e. Brexit is, in my opinion, the most important issue in the country).

Will Starmer succeed in forcing the hand of the arch Euro-sceptic Corbyn?
Standing ovation for Starmer after he tells Labour conference that if
the PMs deal fails and she refuses a General Election: “options must
include campaigning for a Public Vote and nobody is ruling out Remain
as an option”. -
