And foreign voices at shops. Let’s not forget
She's one of the more vocal opponents of a no deal brexit - Boris has no intention of getting a deal as his backers are banking on crashing out without one.
So how far is she willing to go to stop him? She either stays true to her word and does everything in her power (which may include Corbyn as temp PM as a last option) or does she show her party and supporters who she really is by refusing and letting Boris carry on
Can't go 200 yards here without coming across a sign saying Polski Sklep. We've been stealth invaded, I tell you! What did our brave boys, such as the heroic pilots of no. 303 squadron, win the war single-handedly for anyway? These stores should be left as they otherwise would be, boarded up shopfronts!

... and not a peep of it on the BBC news homepage or its politics page. The headline there is:
Boris Johnson's referral to watchdog 'politically motivated'
I mean ffs, its not like the ex-Chancellor referring to the PM as corrupt is newsworthy.
Probably the most misguided post I've read on the subject, and ive read all of joeys stuff

"Misguided" is not really the right word there; after all Methuselah has been quite expertly guided in that post - comprised as it is of him repeating a load of things that people like him are told repeatedly.

You can tell how significant a comment that is by the almost complete silence from most of the media on it. For example, here is how the Evening Standard covered an article in which an ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer accused the current PM of acting in the interests of currency speculators.

Lots of chatter about the opposition finally coming to its senses and backing a vote of no-confidence to secure the extension (which of course can only mean Corbyn as a nominal interim PM).
From: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/sep/28/boris-johnson-no-deal-brexit-no-confidence-vote-snp
'Following talks between opposition party leaders at Westminster, Stewart Hosie said the move appeared to be the only way of ensuring Johnson did not push through a no-deal Brexit on 31 October.
“We have to do that because there is now no confidence that the prime minister will obey the law and seek the extension that parliament voted for only a few weeks ago,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
“If we are serious about the extension, that is the only game in town.”
Hosie, a former SNP deputy leader, said the aim was to stop a no-deal Brexit, and that all opposition parties and Tory rebels needed to be united.
The SNP MP urged the Liberal Democrat leader, Jo Swinson, to get behind the move, which could lead to Jeremy Corbyn being installed in No 10. Swinson has previously said she would not put Corbyn in Downing Street, even for short period.
“If another name came forward that was acceptable to everybody – a Ken Clarke or Dominic Grieve-type figure – then self-evidently that would be a good thing to do,” Hosie said. "But it is also self-evidently the case that the second-largest party [Labour] should have the first chance to form that administration."
“If Jo Swinson and the Lib Dems are actually serious about stopping Brexit then they need to stop playing political games [and] get on board with everybody else.”'
Time for the adults among the Lib Dems to announce that playtime is over (...though if the Revoke Article 50 charade is anything to go by, there may not be many adults left).
Still, surely even Swinson must recognise that a position of 'We are the Party that would do anything to stop Brexit *except obey constitutional procedure on a no-confidence vote*' is not sustainable.
Sad that so many of them can't see that they're just the opposing wing of the Eurosceptic loons ; )

Ah well, an un-referenced table with pretty colours proves everything.
