Apart from being completely useless, he is downright dishonest. It’s a sad indictment of British politics that he’s held up as a paragon of virtue by some. He shagged Diane Abbott as well. For that alone he cannot be taken seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 May still coming out with sound bites "get on with it", "get the best possible deal" etc. This is just unreal, how the heck are we still here? How do we get this clown emptied? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I don't remember other PMs having to take questions from every MP who wanted to ask one. After the first ten it's like groundhog day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTG Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Corbyn is on record saying that Labour will respect the 2016 result. He doesn't back the deal May has produced. So he's either Customs Union or No Deal on Brexit. CU is the bare minimum for parties like the SNP and LDs because they have been consistent since the morning after the vote. A good number of Labour voters in Barnsley and Burnley wouldn't stick with them if they went for CU. Soft Tories won't jump to a Corbyn government the way they would have to Blair. Basically the 2 main parties fell over themselves to say they'd respect the vote and now they're struggling badly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It's taken a while but May has finally overtaken Neil Doncaster - things really are that bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The DUP have said they would support the Government in a confidence vote, and the Tory Brexiteers would as well imo, they want to get shot of May, not the Government. So the motion would likely fail.No it’s a kremlin influenced lifelong ambition to turn Britain into Mad Max. Haven’t you been given your orders from GCHQ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Just more pretence from May that the EU are suddenly going to flip and offer us concessions on "The Backstop" - is there no MP with the bollocks to say "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire". They aren't allowed to call another member a liar in the House of Commons chamber. I suppose they could on TV right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 HA! My excuse is living in Sheffield, btw.Whether it's the motorway section or not, the A1 can be either a pleasant change to the M1, or the road from hell. It's a coffee I make regularly, as depending on conditions I can save time and frustration heading towards that London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Today I got to see Dennis Skinner speak in parliament for the first time. If you can show footage of that to someone living in Scotland and they still want to be in the UK, the game's up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 3 hours ago, DrewDon said: May has a majority of over 26,000 votes, so I think that's a slightly ambitious reading of things. The towns that make up her constituency are: Maidenhead, Bray and Wargrave. So we have a town that is olde time jargon for the hymen. A town named after the favourite activity of Tory backbenchers. A town that sounds like a Remembrance Day theme park. I think they will be Tory right up until we get the guillotines out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Time for Sinn Fein MPs to be allowed proxy or remote voting. It's ridiculous that the 56% of Northern Ireland voters who chose to remain are totally unrepresented in Parliament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that decrepit old bugger's speech which had completely the opposite effect on me. He's no longer living in the real world. His brain died about 20 years ago - he doesn't know whether he's in Weyms Bay or Bombay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have more respect if he just came out and said he supports leaving. Nonsense. He's playing a super smart long game. You'll see. You'll all see.
