    Reports suggesting May will be replaced by Gove in the next few days, support draining away from May which is no surprise after her outburst last week, only a matter of when rather than if now...

    Trouble is, I have no faith in Gove not to sell out Brexit

    His credibility went when he stitched BoJo up but the current crop of leading Tories are a pretty uninspiring bunch. I'm beginning to think another General Election might not be such a bad idea, this Parliament is a total embarrassment...

    That would mean at least a year EU extension and voting in May elections. I can see a soft Brexit coming, and if so, the Tories routed in the next GE

    Frankly they deserve it, sad thing is a Labour win would replace one split party with another. I absolutely f*cking hate politicians...

    I'm rapidly warming to the idea. I always knew he was a good 'un deep down. Ranger through and through<laugh>

  11. I think he is our only hope. He will negotiate well because he understands and respects the different points of view. The last thing we need is someone like Boris or leadsom walking into the negotiating room singing "you're gonna get your effing heads kicked in".
    JRM is off the table - thankfully the DUP does have a use...

    Agreed. Until a credible Labour Party politician who genuinely worries about the effect of No Deal, one who is not a Brexiteer at heart, rebels and takes control and stops their ridiculous tactical voting there isn't an alternative from that side of the House. Many on here have warmed to Keir Starmer. May be he is playing a very long game but his silence and earnest expression in the House of Commons while Corbyn speaks on anything to do with Brexit (2 years too late I might add) tells me that he would like to be leader but the country can go to ruin first.

    I noticed yesterday that the latest photoshoot of our Nige at one of the stop overs showed him pretty rosy cheeked. I reckon he realises he's fooling nobody and has either increased the distance he walks to one mile or he has engaged the services of a make up artist. Either that or he's now indulging in more than the obligatory one pint for the cameras and can't handle it.

    If Gove is PM...will he enforce a new Stadium in Hammersmith...
    Do the advantages to QPR .... outweigh the disadvantages of brexit.





    Yes I know he would not give us the drippings from his nose ...but I can fantasise

    I actually think that, had we taken that stance from the very beginning, we'd have had a deal by now.

    I find myself oddly cheered by the prospect of Gove as PM.

    I clearly need some kind of rest cure.

    When he's the best you could hope for it really shows how truly ****ed we are. That said he appears to have a smidge more humanity about him than JRM or Raab C Brexit.

    Yes we would.

    As a Remainer (albeit a half-hearted one), May has insisted on proving her commitment to leaving by sticking to the hardest of hard Brexits. Had there been a PM that had supported Leave, they might well have been more open to compromise and we'd have seen a consensus around a softer version of Brexit.
