Bah gawd! That man has a family!


Sensible option would be to lock all those feckers in parliament full time and broadcast them talking shite purely for the comedy value while ordinary people get on with their lives, because that video would be hilarious if it wasn’t so serious, these are the fools that are meant to be running the country.
 
She said it yesterday and got called 'the voice of the opposition' by our state broadcaster, so she's probably wondering what sort of praise she'll get by saying it in front of even more journalists.
Bizarre she said it at all. If there's one thing that's bound to make Corbyn hold off the trigger it's voicing that you're trying to play him out loud.

Maybe that's why the Conservative no confidence votes are coming in while she's still likely to win any party vote; to shore up her position pre-emptively for when Corbyn puts his in.
 
If you don't have a hard border in Ireland how will Britain stop foreigners coming into its lands? The racists that won Brexit won't be happy
 
On Facebook I've seen that someone said today that the Irish should "know their place". Seriously?
The Tory MPs that shout loudest about "sovereignty", really just mean "give us our Empire back."
 
Someone on the internet said it was a scottish sectarian.

According to someone. On Instagram.

"We simply cannot allow the Irish to treat us like this," the former minister said about the negotiating tactics of the Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar.

The Conservative MP was exasperated that the Republic of Ireland (population: 4.8m) has been able to shape the EU negotiating stance that has put such pressure on the UK (population: 66m).

"This simply cannot stand," the one-time moderniser told me. "The Irish really should know their place."
 
"The Conservative MP was exasperated that the Republic of Ireland (population: 4.8m) has been able to shape the EU negotiating stance that has put such pressure on the UK (population: 66m)."

It's almost like Ireland is part of some larger union of european countries from which it gains political strength? The UK should probably look at getting involved in something similar.

That is crazy talk.
 
Yes but something has to give and the deadline is fast approaching. You need a border somewhere and with time running out they will be looking around the world at similar situations.

And if that something involves throwing the people of Northern Ireland under the bus yet again we have finally and irreprably lost our moral compass.

All politicians will need to hang their heads in utter shame.

No that's a crazy idea from your side, I have learned in this thread that Latvia has no bigger political weight through their EU membership. White text
 
I am a bit sick of everyone and his dog in Westminster and elsewhere lounging around doing sod all but pointing fingers while TM is working her arse off trying to get things sorted. Lazy b’stards the whole damn lot of them. Tell me one positive thing that anyone else in the whole sorry bunch is doing to get our country out of this mess.

Fixed it for you there. Signed, Ireland.
 
Neither Rees-Mogg or Boris will have the stones to pick it up at this point.

It’ll be Gove and the country will be bemused.
 
She's still gonna win a confidence vote of Tory MPs. But that avenue going off the table for a year might make the headbangers more inclined to support a parliamentary no confidence vote.

What numbers are involved in terms of whether she wins or loses?

You have the EU on one side and the UK on the other. Something will get squeezed between the sides and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if its NI. Its a very different place than when the Belfast Agreement was signed, does it really need to be kept exactly as it is.

She needs majority support in the confidence vote, so north of 150 would have to vote against her. Given how long it's taken them to reach 48 letters, and that there are "only" supposedly around 90 tories not willing to vote for her deal (many of whom would still vote for her in a confidence motion), she would seem fairly safe. Her authority would take a banging, of course, but the opposition would struggle to make hay out of someone only narrowly winning a confidence motion among MPs.
 
You know how May is going back to the EU for assurances, etc? Can anyone explain to me why she thinks that the EU would want to help her out to get her deal through Parliament? The UK is one of the largest economies in the EU and is a net contributor to it. If we go, it could spell the beginning of the end for the EU. Surely they want us to stay and therefore don’t want to offer a deal that will be accepted. If they just refuse to budge, they could get a second referendum and have it reversed.
 


how is the executive of this government still dense enough to try negotiating with single governments

Either the government is as thick as pig shit, or they are getting the runaround from the EU. Neither is a good look.

Ok understand. It is a total disgrace for them to do that at this time in my opinion.
 
Honestly at this point she might as well just go "feck it, let's have another referendum".
