I see Jimmy Krankie is sticking her oar in as usual.

wait till the day after Brexit Day, then the hyenas will be unleashed

Ms Sturgeon always has a lot to say, thank heavens she is first minister in Scotland....

[anneasquith]

Oh stop.moaning you two , :-) lol .

[emmie]

which two, anne....

[emmie]

She could be leader in 2022, then we will see whether Labour can pull the rabbit out of the hat and take charge.

I'd be feeling a bit sheepish in his position. Although his faction were apparently united in hating May's deal, getting them to actually do anything about it seems to be like herding cats. How embarrassing.

Props to JRM for at least trying to take responsibility, though.

[emmie]

indeed krom.

[Old_Geezer]

Pity he's not interested in being leader though, or so he's always claimed.

[emmie]

going on the time i have seem him, he seems a decent enough bloke, better than the treacherous Mrs May.

[emmie]

have seen "

Mr Rees-Moggy has seriously misjudged it - yes 15% of MPs are needed to trigger a vote against May - but there's another 85% out there, some 270 of them and which way are they going to go......I would say at least 200 of them will back May, the fear of Corbyn getting in - and thank goodness that there is some common sense as most likely he'll be an unmitigated disaster.

[Old_Geezer]

IMO removing May won't let Corbyn in. Losing the voter's faith by allowing her to stay and get this disasterous draft plan through would certainly let Labour win by a landslide next time.

[emmie]

Dtc Corbyn will be an unmitigated disaster??

[DTCwordfan]

yes....and they haven't really let the Czech dogs loose on him yet to undermine his candidacy. Now if they have Sir K-Smith, they would have a lot more credibility with the centrist voters.

[emmie]

I quite like him, he seems also to be a nice enough bloke, for a labour politician..... he is also our standing MP

[grumpy01]

Who is Sir K-Smith ?

[DTCwordfan]

sorry Keir Starmer......

[grumpy01]

Don't think he would set the world alight either.In fact I don't see anyone in any party who really inspires.

[jim360]

It must be so inspiring to see the Brexit "people's champion", who would lead our country into glory if only he were in charge, apparently incapable of even organising his own motley crew of rebels...
