The Labor Party has decided not to support the call for early elections announced by the 'premier' Boris Johnson, following the parliamentary blockade of his plans for extreme Brexit. "Holding elections now is a trap," said Labor spokesman for Brexit, Keir Starmer. "Our priority is to ensure that there will be no exit from the EU without an agreement."

After his parliamentary defeat on Tuesday by 27 votes, Boris Johnson challenged Labor opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn to an appointment at the polls on October 15. After more than two years of crying out for a general election, Corbyn decided, however, to look the other way and give in to internal pressure not to follow the game to Johnson, who has put his party up front in the polls with a 33% of intention to vote (compared to 22% of Labor).

The 'premier' needs the support of two-thirds of the deputies to be able to dissolve parliament and call elections, something that will be out of reach in the vote scheduled for Wednesday afternoon and that can leave Johnson with his hands tied and in the midst of the open crisis within his own party.

21 'rebels' 'tories' (including former Treasury Secretary Philip Hammond, veteran Kenneth Clarke and Churchill's grandson, Nicholas Soames) voted against their own leader on Tuesday and will do so predictably on Wednesday in the second Voting of the law to block Brexit without agreement. Johnson has taken the first step to expel them and has opened a crisis that threatens to break the game.

The former conservative leader in Scotland, Ruth Davidson, who presented his resignation last week because of his discrepancies with Johnson, broke a spear in defense of the "rebel" tories and launched a question on Twitter that is removing the consciences of the conservatives : "How is it possible that there is no place in the Conservative Party for Nicholas Soames?"

After the loss of the parliamentary majority with the escape to the Liberal Democratic Party of Deputy Phillip Lee, in full countdown to the crucial vote on Tuesday, analysts warn that Boris Johnson's iron hand could cause a cascade of defections on the flank Moderate Conservative Party.

Johnson appears on Wednesday at the weekly time of questions to the prime minister, amid a climate of growing hostility in Westminster. "We will have elections, but on our own terms, " Labor Labor Keir Starmer warned in advance. "What we are not going to do is dance to the sound that the prime minister marks after having achieved control of the process."

Starmer lashed out at Boris Johnson's advisor and former 'Vote Leave' strategist, Dominic Cummings, who he accused of devising a plan to suspend Parliament, advance elections and corner the Labor Party. "What Johnson and Cummings are doing is destroying their own party, " Starmer warned. "This is not going to end well."
