Should the UK remain a member of the EU

[Dr Nowt]

She’s definitely more fighting to be seen to be on the right side of the argument by the public in future now.

 

Yet another sign of her keenly astute judgement and self-awareness.

[Anny Road]

The fucking Tories need to stand up and bin this bitch and either propose an alternative or split and change the whole political UK agenda.

The only option she has is to spin it to the public to put pressure on MP's and Parliament.

 

Help’s on its way....

 

 

 

[Bjornebye]

Whilst hoping she was about to stand down as PM it did send chills through my spine wondering who would replace the fucking witch 

[Pidge]

Leadsom would be a significant step down, so probably her.

[M_B]

She's not going to step down though, at least not until MV3 is rejected. And they can't get rid of her.

 

Edit: Part of me feels sorry for her - she's setting herself up to be the worst PM ever.

Edit2: Actually no, fuck her.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

The DUP were apparently "unimpressed" by May's statement and will vote against her deal in any future MV. 

[M_B]

If they had been impressed, there would have been no need for tonight. Its her last throw of the dice.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

[Dr Nowt]

She’ll be off next week if her bag of shitty dicks gets knocked back again.

[Boss]

It's a shame Corbyn wasted the one no confidence motion he had at an inopportune moment. A week from now would've been the perfect hand to play.

Conservatives wouldn't support it. They'd much rather wait for her resignation next week.

"The one no confidence motion"

I'm beginning to think that May and Corbyn are in cahoots here.

 

Of course they are, they both want Brexit, albeit for very different reasons.

Derp.

 

Let us not talk falsely now; the hour's getting late.

No, of course he doesn't want Brexit, he's just behaving in exactly the same way as someone who does.

If you've got nothing better to say, go away and find something - a speech, an interview, a petition, an EDM... anything - from the last 40 years or so in which Corbyn unequivocally says "the UK should leave the EU".

 

Meanwhile, be a poppet and please let the rest of us crack on with discussing what's happening in the real world.

I'm no expert, I believe if she lost a no confidence vote then the opposition could form a government. If she calls a general election herself then parliament is dissolved and we crash out while they're not sitting. I think she may do this.

I think it needs 2 thirds to dissolve parliament and call an election.

A NC vote doesn't immediately change anything . From memory Parliament vote again in a couple of weeks and only then does the opposition get to form a  government but in reality an election ensues.

He's on video from 2009 calling for Ireland to vote no in the referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and referring to the EU as a 21st century European empire. Excuse me if I'm not credulous to believe he's done a complete 180 in under a decade.

James O'Brien labelled Theresa May's Brexit statement as bordering on fascist after she said the British people deserved better from parliament.

 

[Dr Nowt]

Uh oh.

[skend04]

There's a revoke Art50 petition up on parliament website. At May's speech it was on 75k. Since then it's been hitting 2000 signatures a minute.

So... Not calling for anyone to leave the EU, then?

 

Don't pretend you're as thick as Gnasher.  You know that there's a difference between saying "The neoliberal drift of the EU should be resisted and reversed" and saying "the UK should leave the EU".  And you also know which one of those Corbyn has been saying consistently for decades.  Unfortunately, you also know that "Corbyn is a closet Brexiteer" is a handy anti-Corbyn bandwagon - and you just can't help hopping on when one of those rolls by.

So, shall we say the speech was... a qualified success?
