Definitely worth it.

Wouldn't it be quicker for the Tories just to resign from government? This one by one thing is going to take days and we've only got 134 of them before the country is resigned to oblivion.

[Captain Turdseye]

 No deal it is. Woop woop.

The worry is that the fall of May doesn't necessarily mean the fall of the Tories.  As of now, there's still a fair chance that some cunt like Johnson  (or some cunt controlled by him) could become PM and steer the country into a future that would make TTIP look like a Socialist paradise. 

 

I'm enjoying her pain, but I can't rejoice until we've got a left-wing Labour Government.

Matt Hancock refuses to deny he said lives would be lost with a no deal. Now you know it's bad when Tories start talking about losing their voter base.

McVey resigned now too. Bitch should have gone after lying about UC.

[Creator Supreme]

McVey slag has resigned, hope her rancid fanny caves in on itself!

[Denny Crane]

I think it's fair to say that the Conservatives falsely earned reputation for competence is being set on fire.

Raab resigns over a deal he negotiated. The hypocrisy is staggering

Setting themselves on fire. This surely is unprecedented?

[skend04]

Junior Brexit minister Suella Braverman gone too. Funny how the people negotiating the withdrawal agreement didn't know what was in it. Begs the question why are they being paid ministerial salaries?

[SasaS]

It is a tad confusing, chief negotiators resigning over what was negotiated.

[Special K]

Who's going to help McVey fill her Universal Credit application in?

[littletedwest]

Ah no universal credit for her as she went voluntarily

Thanks for this Cloggy, your correct it doesn't fit in with their 'everyone is becoming a right-wing populist' narrative. Do you reckon GroenLinks have a chance for electoral success anytime soon?

It's always a coalition over here. If they are part of the next one they get the chance to put their own ideas in contention. That's if they take the offer up. Just the fact that they are polling well means that the largest party is likely to pull a bit to the left and add more green issues. We've been charging for carrier bags here for years though so they don't have to sacrifice all principles to get that one through. 

 

They've been doing great in the locals, especially in the cities. 

[Denny Crane]

Lol.

Would the last one out please turn off the lights.

The life of a politician, smiling to your face while stabbing you in your back.

I know this doesn't really add to the political discourse but I quite fancy Esther McVey.

Dear Prime Minister,

 

There is no more important task for this Government than delivering on the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. This is a matter of trust. It is about the future of our country and the integrity of our democracy.

 

The deal you put before the Cabinet yesterday does not honour the result of the referendum. Indeed, it doesn’t meet the tests you set from the outset of your premiership.

 

Repeatedly you have said that we must regain control of our money, our borders and our laws and develop our own independent trade policy. I have always supported you to deliver on those objectives. Even after Chequers when you knew I shared the concerns of a very significant number of colleagues, I believed that we could still work collectively to honour the will of the British people and secure the right outcome for the future of our country. This deal fails to do this.

 

The proposals put before Cabinet, which will soon be judged by the entire country, means handing over around £39bn to the EU without anything in return. It will trap us in a customs union, despite you specifically promising the British people we would not be. It will bind the hands of not only this, but future Governments in pursuing genuine free trade policies. We wouldn’t be taking back control, we would be handing over control to the EU and even to a third country for arbitration.

It also threatens the integrity of the United Kingdom, which as a Unionist is a risk I cannot be party to.

 

The British people have always been ahead of politicians on this issue, and it will be no good trying to pretend to them that this deal honours the result of the referendum when it is obvious to everyone it doesn’t.

 

We have gone from no deal is better than a bad deal, to any deal is better than no deal.

 

I cannot defend this, and I cannot vote for this deal. I could not look my constituents in the eye were I to do that. I therefore have no alternative but to resign from the Government.

 

It has been a huge honour to serve as Secretary of State for Work & Pensions, and I am immensely proud of the part I have played in the record levels of employment we have seen in all parts of the U.K Youth unemployment has halved since 2010, and we now have record number of women and BAME in work and since 2013, 973,000 more disabled people in work.

 

With unemployment over 3.3 million more than in 2010 we have helped 1,000 more people into work each and every day since we took office.

 

I am extremely grateful to you for appointing me to the role, and for the support you have given to me, not least in the run up to the budget, ensuring Universal Credit got a much-needed injection of £4.5 billion. That has made my decision a greater wrench.

 

However, in politics you have to be true to the public and also true to yourself. Had I stayed in Government and supported this deal with the EU I wouldn’t be doing that.

 

Your sincerely,

Esther McVey

Well she's getting no support at all in Prime Ministers questions. There is not a chance this deal is getting through Parliament.

[Anubis]

The fucking gall of her setting herself up as being for the people.
