Say what you want about May but she’s obviously a very talented politician. This is the most difficult situation the uk has faced in 70 years...she’s done well to get this far.
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest
- Thread starter Silva
- Start date
Much as she's awful, I would always find it difficult to dislike her more than David Cameron, the chief pig-fcuking architect of all this shite. And as you say, she's pretty resilient to say the least.
Agreed. If she somehow manages to steer a Brexit deal through the commons, it will have been a minor miracle from the position she found herself in after becoming leader. She has made some silly blunders along the way though.
Such a day’s craic.
May is done IMO. I genuinely thought she might break down during that statement. I’d feel bad for her if she wasn’t such an atrocious human being. I think she’ll resign when parliament inevitably reject this deal. Then the games will begin.
Also starting to think Corbyn may have played a blinder here. He’s said a lot without committing to anything and now everyone is pissed with May on all sides.

Advantage Labour
How?
Have you seen Rees-Moggs statement?
Summarise in 3 words please
We're pretty fecked.
Yes...
But all they want is to topple may and put a Eurosceptic in power... Zero chance they go for a general election as they are not obliged to
I see he's gone back to the Brexiteer shite of 'let's send that EU money to the NHS!' with a little bit included to mention funding nurses.
Monopoly man can fcuk off. Lying cnut.
Yeah she is tough, thats for sure.
Can't stand her but she has largely been in a position anyone would've struggled to get anything decent out of.
Not sure i agree with that tbh.
No but the divisions In the party indicate that they are looking weaker.
Also with a eurosceptic in charge I think (and I am by no means an expert) I think we will end up back at square 1. I think in the short term this whole thing is going to lead to mass unemployment. The rather large and successful company I work for have already made 750 redundancies In preparation.
No and google being unusually useless.
Windrush is a massive stain on her.
If we end up going for a soft Brexit as is looking likely and not much changes, I'd be fecking pissed at the government if I was one of those workers, or any of the workers who've lost their jobs due to the uncertainty. A government in power costing you your livelihood while testing the waters concerning an experiment they realised they weren't able to even go for in the end.
Mate, if I even begin to tell you they way they have gone about this as well you would probably weep.
Hope it doesn’t pass in parliament. Such a shit deal, months and months of negotiations for a shambles...
Incredible, if a GCSE English student turned in such a limitedly justified set of arguments they'd get an E.
Dead woman walking.
Also, there's a provision in the agreement for the UK-EU joint committee to extend the transition period until '20XX'.
Cheers. Besides the £39bn he makes valid points unfortunately. Goes back to the bad wording of the referendum and what people actually voted for though.
What is the deal? Can't find a summary of it.
and when did we decide to leave the European Atomic Energy Community?
She's just trying to screw Labour with that, she knows it won't get through parliament without their votes so she'll now paint them as the ones blocking brexit.
Think it'll be resignation day tomorrow then a ERG backed candidate taking it to round 2.
Plenty of Tory MPs on twitter out for blood. UKIP out with their usual inflamatory language, last thing we need is them encouraging some nutter.

It passed Cabinet on a majority not unanimous vote... So at least one person (probably more) is unhappy... I would suspect fox might go first... After all in a customs union his department is redundant
Can people quote some of theee tweets in here? Would be fascinated to see some of them.
It's around 10 ministers according to BBC/FT.
Vote was 18-11, according to Laura K's source: Fox, Hunt, Williamson, Penny Mordaunt, Javid, Leadsom, Evans, Mordaunt and Grayling against. McVey expected to resign (hooray).
Hang on...JRM isn't on that list?
He’s not in the cabinet.
Esther McVey supposedly the most aggressively anti-deal voice in the meeting, and likely to resign. Is she a remainer or brexiteer?
18-11? Sounds like the will of the Cabinet is clear to me.
