GB News was spouting so much nonsense about an election that even Michael Fabricant couldn’t take it anymore
You’ll know there’s a fair bit of nonsense being talked about an online petition to call a general election only four months after Labour’s landslide win.
It’s not going to change anything but gives people something to get angry about for a day or two, which is pretty much the primary function of Twitter these days.
And when we say ‘people’ in this case we’re thinking specifically about GB News’s Ben Habib, the former Brexit Party MEP who was briefly deputy co-leader of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
And here he is talking about how a general election could be ‘forced’ upon PM Keir Starmer and it’s quite the watch.
‘You can force a general election on a Government if they absolutely crash the economy.’
Ben Habib explains how he believes a General Election could be triggered under the Labour Government.

Quite the watch because it’s such complete bollocks.
Ben is as thick as mince , why have someone on who is clueless how this works .
Might as well have my pal Barry’s cocker spaniel on

Ben Habib couldn’t even win one seat in parliament and now he’s talking about overthrowing the entire government. Perhaps focus on getting more than 21.5% of the vote in Wellingborough and Rushden before worrying about the whole country https://t.co/afAIJH17eq

Why couldn’t we force one with truss then?

Jesus, what an absolute idiot. Imagine getting this cretin on every day and pretending he knows what he’s talking about ♂️

Here’s Labour MP Chris Bryant.
This is dangerous nonsense https://t.co/Cvaa7WfaFR

And it was such dangerous nonsense that former Conservative MP Michael Fabricant – you remember – was moved to tweet.
No you can’t‼️
The only way a GE can be called is if a Government no longer has the “confidence of the House of Commons”.
That means 51% of MPs vote “No Confidence”.
With #Labour’s massive majority that is NOT going to happen any time soon.
Get Real‼️ https://t.co/w4xZKgHO3C— Michael Fabricant (@Mike_Fabricant) November 24, 2024
Never thought we’d be agreeing with Michael Fabricant. Strange days indeed.
Why are GB News even pushing this fantasy – why does no-one call him out as he is hopelessly WRONG

I like Ben Habib, but he hasn’t a clue about Parliament and our Constitution!

He wasn’t letting it lie …
And might that confidence not be a little shaken by a sovereign debt crisis? You lot are so used to failing and fearful of being booted out (though you rightly were) you’ll try to hang on no matter the damage done. Your 14 years in office were a disaster for the country.

… but he was still wrong, obviously.
About time someone called out Habibs total drivel
Must admit never expected it to be Michael Fabricant though pic.twitter.com/snK54bULY6

Christ on a bike is Fabricant is talking sense?

I find myself agreeing with Fabricant.

UPDATE
In late breaking news, it turns out Ben Habib still isn’t letting it go.
Yesterday on @GBNEWS I set out one possible scenario of how @UKLabour could collapse the economy and be forced cap in hand to the IMF.
It has prompted a number of third rate MPs and former third rate MPs to counter.
They are doing so because they know I revealed the deeply… https://t.co/gU9guw1OuP

To which the only possible reply is surely this.
No they are doing so because you talk crap about any subject to the point that Fabricant called you out on your forced in to a GE comment too
You are one of the long line of non experts who pretend they know everything and know very little
Own it
