    I got a like from Theresa May....



    I think she knows that she is going, or someone operating her twitter account does.You heard it here first, official confirmation.

    Tick, tock, tick, tock.... two hours to go, and she's still here with no sign of any imminent unscheduled press conference.

    Told you mate. She's going nowhere.

    It's hard to imagine the lack of/paucity of advice that she's getting from her cabinet. Having the stupidity/gall to go back to Parliament, for a second time, with that bag of **** deal represents a significant low from a leader of this country.

    Is it beyond the realms of possibility that she's being told to keep on with the current ****tastrophe? Given the **** that Stephen Barclay's spouting, there's very little left to surprise me...

    "If it's a choice between no deal and no Brexit - and I don't think that's what tonight's vote is on - but ultimately on that, I think no-deal is going to be very disruptive for the economy and I think no-deal also has serious questions for the union. Between those very unpleasant choices, I think no Brexit is the bigger risk. No Brexit would be catastrophic for our democracy".

    The DG of the CBI's opinion...

    "[A no deal Brexit is] being imposed on this country with no consultation with business, with no time to prepare. This is no way to run a country.
    This imposition of new terms of trade comes at the same time as business blocked out of its closest trading partner.


    The impact of a no-deal Brexit in the real world outside the cabinet, according to the CBI?...."A sledgehammer to our economy".

    Once again there's a group of people whose first action is to claim they feel sorry for the Dire Leader

    Don't

    The mess she is currently in wasn't foist upon her by outside factors but entirely of her own making. When she became leader (and, thus, Prime Minister) by default her immediate order of business was not to create a cross-party group to thrash out the intricacies of what Britait would be, but instead made it a Tory closed shop where the only party to get a say would be the Tories while Labour, the SNP, the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and the Greens would have to sit and watch it unfold. She is the one who triggered Article 50 while wearing a clown costume without having a plan in place. She is the one who threw away three months of negotiation time by calling a snap election because she believed the YouGov polls that said she'd have an increased majority. She's the one who threw £1bn of taxpayer's money the DUP's way to cling to power under the misguided idea they'd be compliant coalition partners like the Lib Dems were - the list goes on, and that's not something that deserves sympathy even though it is human to at least try and find a reason to be sympathetic, it's reason to understand she doesn't deserve our sympathy because her arrogance is what has led her into this position

    The effect of No Brexit (Remain) is..... No Brexit - lick the wounds, pay the feckin' price of 3 wasted years and move on.

    Will be forgotten about in a few months, apart from the businesses already paying the price for the failed project.

    She will, timing is everything. She will be told, come in Number 10, your time is up.

    This 100%

    She is a self-serving, lying, duplicitous, xenophobe / racist.
    She deserves all the pain and angst she has coming her way.

    Mind you, there is a list of others that applies to....

    I don't feel sorry for her. She's out of her depth and we're paying for it.

    My father-in-law is 'Tory Boy'. In London Tory politics especially, he's a well known figure, who has a good degree of respect for certain things he did back in the day. He's met her in small groupings to discuss certain matters.

    I asked....."So.......?"

    He just shook his head.

    I'm half convinced that, in a couple of weeks, The Queen will march to Downing Street and physically drag the Dire Leader all the way to Buckingham Palace to sign a resignation letter

    Hopefully, the men in Grey Suits will have 'regrettably accepted her resignation' by then, although many on Twitter are saying men in white coats are more appropriate.

    I presume this is his mooted Gammonball rally that he’s prattling on about.

    Another 17 year old kid stabbed at Leyton this morning. madness.
    I reckon the Remainers and Brexiteers should have a Dual. They could Clash in the commons to decide Should I stay or should I go now.
