If I hear her resignation speech played out once more on the meeja, I swear I will lose control.

What will you do? Throw things about the room?

Slam a clenched fist on the desk?

It'll be inescapable for a while yet

Yeah, it's hardly in the league of "Cheerio from Chigsy" in terms of replay value.

[LincolnHearts]

She'll put the date back.

Ffs the tories on the news channels already giving it "go back to Brussels" and get a better deal and tell them what we want [emoji23]

[tintax]

I have no sympathy at all for the woman. This article essentially sums up why -

Regardless of who replaces May, it's still going to be a selfish, probably racist, 

Sajid Javid?

Oh! No, won't be him as he's not white.

Though he may be a good choice as Leader.

It’s mass delusion.  It will be hilarious when Johnson or whoever get offered exactly the same deal.

Ross Thomson is 200/1.

 

[dirty dingus]

A fitting epitaph for May.

The absolute brass neck of that c**t citing Nicholas Winton and the kindertransport when she sent racist deportation vans out on the streets as Home Secretary and refused to take more than a pathetic handful of refugees from Syria and the wider Middle East.

[Comrie]

The odds on who'd replace May as PM makes me shudder. Johnson, Gove, Davis? Even Amber sodding Rudd is apparently thinking about it. A line of dismal career failures who somehow are considered for the most powerful political position in the UK.

[vikingTON]

Jeremy Hunt.

The biggest joke is Rory Stewart.  He doesn’t look like he could run a burger van.

Don't think I've enjoyed a political speech that much since I watched Jim Murphy with Ad Lib in the background.

Theresa May was an absolutely terrible PM.  She was totally gutless and a useless leader.  

If she had stood up to the rabid Brexiteers in her party she would not be in the position she is now.

I am delighted that she didn’t.

She was useless, but she was also in a lose/lose situation. The next PM will prove to be equally as useless, if not more so. That's because the EU controls the terms of Brexit, not the UK Parliament, regardless of who is in charge there.

Regardless of policies and the job she did she has had some amount of shit to deal with.
As said the next one will probably be worse. Seeing all the media and politicians lined up like vultures while theres a woman in tears is hardly something to cheer about.
What a mess Westminster is.

I am cheering. I will continue to cheer and savour her crocodile tears until she fades out from public view.

At that point she will also fade from my thoughts until the press report her death, which I will toast (not as rigorously as Thatchers, but still, I will take a dram)

I only lament that fact that she is unlikely to suffer anything like that which she inflicted on other, the callous, horrible piece of shit that she is.
