Ministers Tour Uk To Sell Mrs May’S Deal

[naomi24]

Why? The people they are attempting to sell to have no say so what does she imagine this will achieve?

One can only hope. But with all such things we have to be careful what we wish for as I cannot see any alternative leader who is willing to tell the EU to stuff it's deal in that place where the sun is known not to shine.

NJ, Jacob Rees-Mogg, bur I don't think he wants the job.

I think a lot of people are disillusioned with politicians and politics whatever their leanings.

Yes I think you’re right, Max. There was an interesting article by Nick Timothy in the Torygraph yesterday which concluded with this:

Brussels has screwed Britain, Remainers have screwed the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister has screwed the Leavers. The result is the Establishment has screwed the public.

The principle architect of all this screwing has been Mrs May, ably assisted by most of Parliament. She “negotiated” with the EU whilst informing them that, so desperate is the country for a “deal”, that she would capitulate to just about anything they demanded (and she did). Parliament, despite voting five to one to invoke A50 obviously, with a few exceptions, with little intention of allowing a proper Brexit to follow. Mrs May is now in a trap of her own making: her deal will be (quite rightly) comprehensively rejected by the Commons; the EU will not renegotiate it; Parliament will not countenance a “No Deal” exit. Mr Timothy is absolutely correct.

The 'democratic facade' disintegrates before their eyes yet still leaving the public bamboozled;
“[We need an] Arab facade ruled and administered under British guidance and controlled by a native Mohammedan and, as far as possible, by an Arab staff…. There should be no actual incorporation of the conquered territory in the dominions of the conqueror, but the absorption may be veiled by such constitutional fictions as a protectorate, a sphere of influence, a buffer state and so on.”— Lord Curzon

Sorry, Khandro, I should have said "any person who is likely to be elected as leader and who is willing...etc.). The Tories will not elect Boris as leader because the majority of them would like the UK to either remain in the EU or at worst (as they see it) "leave" under Mrs May's deal.

YMB:

"[May] tried bullying everyone, a knee jerk reaction at chequers would have looked petulant and I am pretty sure you would now be on here saying so. "

Well, possibly. I don't hold much respect for leading Brexiteers anyway, as I think they are wrong in their aims and approach. But, presumably, some criticism of those three is well-justified no matter your standpoint on Brexit? Johnson in particular was an incompetent, gaffe-prone bungler of a foreign sec, while Davis was not much good as Brexit Sec. either (even before May "took over").

[jim360]

The Tories also won't elect Johnson as leader because he'd be rotten in the job, but let's not let that get in the way of conspiracies, eh?
