I'm a pro-EU conservative liberal apparently. Feck knows who I'm supposed to vote for.
You need a new party to vote for.

May's taking it like a champ you have to say.
I'd be fecking crying (a good 30 minutes ago).

Even though I vote conservative I never much liked Gove. He always reminded me of the stereotypical Tory-Boy. However, having watched him a bit more closely, he has gone up in my estimation. He never complains about the roles he's given, just gets on with it. He works hard and really tries to get to the nitty-gritty of the job. He is also not afraid of radical reform. His Tory-boy image may be his undoing in terms of any ambitions of leadership he harbours but he is a very shrewd politician. He stabbed Boris in the back for a reason and not all of it was selfish. I think he knew that Bojo would definitely drive the country off a cliff. Gove is a Brexiteer, but he's not crazy.I think he's been carefully positioning himself for a while. He is of course a high-profile brexiter, but can also now say he has supported the party leader as a party loyalist, he's after support from all sides of the party, and there's not many will be able to do that. I don't like him by the way, I'm just assessing his chances of being next party leader.

If there is a leadership election then Gove will be well in the running in my opinion.
Yeah. I do feel sorry for her. She was asked to polish a turd.This is a public whipping.
It's like a bloody parody.Labour’s David Lammy says the deal will not get through parliament. When politics is broken, one can only put the decision back to the people, he says.
May says, when she talks to people, they tell her they just want the politicians to get on with it.
Got on a plane from Toronto to London and the pound was at about 1.15 against the Euro.
Just landed and it’s back down to 1.13.
How is she still standing?
Yeah. I do feel sorry for her. She was asked to polish a turd.
She put herself in this position it's not like she didn't know where this would go. She just decided she wanted the role of prime minister.

She could have explained that it was a fecking turd, and navigated us around it.... Shit, feck am I thinking?Yeah. I do feel sorry for her. She was asked to polish a turd.
Well, yes, I guess she siezed the opportunity to be PM. But you can't hold ambition against people. I don't think there has been a more difficult job for a PM in my lifetime. Brexit is genuinely complex, intractable, which is why I feel sorry for her.She put herself in this position it's not like she didn't know where this would go.

There's a lot of people looking at it and asking for it now. I'm kinda pessimistic on it too, but what happens if you ignore those people and just go ahead and potentially feck the country?I would love there to be a second vote but I can't see it happening.
Raab has a feckin nerve resigning in a huff after being the chief negotiator! What a cnut
Why can’t they just say that we’re not prepared for this as a country, let’s get our prep done, let’s educate the country properly, let’s get plans done properly and revisit it in sayI would love there to be a second vote but I can't see it happening.

Why can’t they just say that we’re not prepared for this as a country, let’s get our prep done, let’s educate the country properly, let’s get plans done properly and revisit it in say10 years? Never?
I mean how do those people react? I don't think they'll be rolling over, there will be a reaction....
I think I'm expecting the very worst i.e. we lurch out with no deal. That would be an economic and social disaster for the UK and far far worse for Ireland.
How do we get to the 3rd option - no brexit?

I hate Brexit but this blanket empty ''educate the people'' stuff is the worst.Why can’t they just say that we’re not prepared for this as a country, let’s get our prep done, let’s educate the country properly, let’s get plans done properly and revisit it in say10 years? Never?
I dunno. I can't see May going for it and if she falls a hardliner willbecome PM.
Even if the government falls doesn't that mean hard Brexit?
I can't see the series of events that might lead to a second vote. I wish I could.
What? More information is ideally how politics should be. Informed decisions...I hate Brexit but this blanket empty ''educate the people'' stuff is the worst.
This isn't how politics functions at all.
What do you think a second vote would achieve other than decide to Remain and cancel the whole thing? Trying to get a different deal from the EU is not on the cards.
