He didn't need to do it, and I wish he hadn't done it.

He overplayed his hand.Â* He assumed (as Norman did) that Corbyn was
absolutely certain to go for the immediate GE.

He didn't play through the very real possibility that more sensible
heads in the Labour party would hold him back.

It's an absolutely extraordinary situation for an opposition to turn
down the opportunity of a general election that could possibly see them
in power.Â* That's their raison d'etre, their sole objective.Â* To
shilly-shally about it not being the right time makes it look
unprepared, frightened, incompetent and incapable of taking over.

Which it probably is in fact.

not if that election can possibly return a Boris with a greatly
increased majority because of his lust for brexit and of course the no
deal exit has to be stopped when the bill that stops it becomes law.
