It's all such a mess. I'm not a fan of Teresa May particularly, but I do think anyone would have struggled to make a success of Brexit after the referendum, so not entirely sure what replacing May will achieve. And also who on earth would replace her if the challenge is successful?

Total respect for Teresa May for not running away when others didn’t have the balls to take on the impossible job.

Oh blimey nervous for her

brizzledrizzle · 12/12/2018 21:01

200 vs 117...better than expected I think.

HRTpatch · 12/12/2018 21:01

Good for her

Puzzledandpissedoff · 12/12/2018 21:01

What majority?

MarshaBradyo · 12/12/2018 21:01

Oh wow well done to TM

MarshaBradyo · 12/12/2018 21:01

Tough day at work

Puzzledandpissedoff · 12/12/2018 21:02

Ah ... just seen the numbers

MrsTommyBanks · 12/12/2018 21:02

I really didn't see that coming.

PebbleDashed · 12/12/2018 21:02

Good news for all of us I think, this was bloody stupid at this time.

brizzledrizzle · 12/12/2018 21:03

We're safe from JRM for 12 months unless May chooses to go Grin

RoboticMary · 12/12/2018 21:03

Disappointing, but never mind!

RedForShort · 12/12/2018 21:04

Good to see JRM is able to accept the result of a vote ...

WWYDhelpplease · 12/12/2018 21:05

JRM on the BBC. What a fucking dick.

superstarburst · 12/12/2018 21:05

JRM is such a creep

brizzledrizzle · 12/12/2018 21:05

....by calling for her resignation!

Talkinpeece · 12/12/2018 21:05

I loathe her
but I DESPISE Rees-Mogg
A good result for the country

Can I punch JRM?

brizzledrizzle · 12/12/2018 21:06

I would call JRM a big dick but I'd hate to be seen to compliment him.

Frouby · 12/12/2018 21:06

Am not a TM fan or a Tory voter but that was a deserved result I think.

chicaguapa · 12/12/2018 21:06

Well you have to admire her tenacity!

SilkenTofu · 12/12/2018 21:06

JRM certainly has a lot to say for himself from the back row. He didn't have the guts to be at the forefront of Brexit and he hasn't got the balls to be PM.

JRM - STFU and get back in your box.

Respect to Teresa. You may not like what is happening but she is the only person who has the bottle to at leat tackle this.
