To wish Theresa May would just tell her Cabinet at the sleepover

[Dordognebound]

they're having at Chequers this weekend

"This is what we're fucking doing with Brexit. If you don't back me fuck off to the backbenches and start a leadership challenge if you want to - you weasley faced twats - I don't give a shit. I'm the Prime Minister and this is what we're bleeding well going to do"

I don't know if Mrs May is normally given to swearing but desperate times call for desperate measures. I just want a PM who will lead us. Preferably into Single Market/Customs Union but I'm sick of us being held hostage by Rees Mogg & Co and being the laughing stock of the world.

Well Theresa May wasn't terribly kernnon Brexit, was she?

I'd imagine she's just hanging on for the salary, and thinks the Brexit voting part of the population will get just what they deserve.

Her money will insulate her from any day to day issues.

I'd love to hear TM say "I don't give a shit. I'm the Prime Minister and this is what we're bleeding well going to do"

Yes, but to do that she'd actually need some sort of plan in the first place.

I'd imagine she's just hanging on for the salary, and thinks the Brexit voting part of the population will get just what they deserve.
She's not like that at all. Some of her colleagues though - the ones you'd get if she threw in the towel - ARE that sort (and it's the same on the other side). She does it because she believes it's a job that needs doing.
But yes, I'd like to see her tell them exactly where to stick their weaselly opinions. Only problem is that they'd be even more trouble on the backbenches out of spite.

See I think she should call their bluff. Boris and Gove went green at the gills the morning after the Referendum when they thought they'd actually have to come up with a plan. Then Gove stabbed Boris in the back. I don't think that pack would be capable of organising a leadership challenge.

If TMay really doesn't have a clue then set up a cross party group of people who do understand trade agreements, international law and all that shit and let them come up with a plan. No-one could be worse than Davies and Fox.

Theresa - you are woman - let me hear you roar!

Weak and wobbly Theresa roar? ha! She can't sack Boris who is the most self serving politician I've seen and that says a lot. She never answers a question and squirms when actually probed, and you think she can get them to agree to something AND then make it happen with the EU. Ha

I'd imagine she's just hanging on for the salary

The salary is a fraction of what she would earn if no longer PM. The leaders of your local council is probably paid more.

I think she'd see off a leadership challenge.

Come on, Theresa - show some bloody leadership!

She’d only see off a leadership challenge due to a lack of any reasonable alternative who might want the job.

Never mind Boris, she can’t even get rid of Davis. And you’d be hard pushed to find a single person in the entire country who’s less competent at their job than him.

A leadership challenge would create th opportunity for a call from Labour for a general election. The conservatives realize this and like turkeys won’t vote for Christmas

Oh OP that has just made me chuckle heartily. Just what I needed after a shitty day. I thank you!

She does need to grow a backbone. Maggie wouldn’t have stood for it. Not that I’m a conservative but, Theresa needs to get tough.

Davis.... what the actual fuck has he been doing, all these months? We worked it out yesterday that he’d had approximately 40 minutes a month, face to face with Michel Barnier. Wish I could get paid that much for doing nowt.

I wish she would idea the twats and move them to the back benches.
I voted remain but I can see they're fucking up brexit even more.

I often wonder what drives people to become PM.

The minute the get the job all the so called "power" they think they have goes out the window!

What is the actual point of being in power if you can't/don't exercise it. The tail is wagging the dog, she has some awful slimy characters in her cabinet that are constantly undermining her and Brexit is a total shitstorm.

Anyway, I do hope she is keeping her cards close to her chest and will WOW us all after Chequers with some Leadership, and Guidance, and Reassurance. And a few sackings too!

Yep. But possibly no.

I’d have such admiration for the woman if she sacked the overpaid overprivilaged gits who either don’t do much, self aggrandise or fucking useless. Boris (I’m an overpaid posh twit who’s all about Me!) Johnson, Jeremy Hunt (I’ve done the same job for donkeys years, it’s a fucking mess and I don’t care much), Chris Grayling, Michael (I just keep popping up in different roles and fuck up everything I touch) Gove, David (I’ve no clue what I’m doing and am a supercilious two) Davis, Liam Fox (dodgy. Very dodgy) and Esther (hard as nails and I’ve no sympathy with the workshy and poor) McVey.

And that leaves.....

Ahhh...isn’t that nice. My iPad changed David Davis from a “supercilious TWAT” to “two”. But I think you know what I meant.

Oh, I almost forgot one of my absolute favourites. Fiona Bruce MP. The woman’s hypocrisy never fails to amaze me. This is what she said in Parliament earlier this year in relation to children and young people’s mental health. Having been asked for help by the family of a child in one of her constituency secondary schools and refusing any involvement in the mental health issues brought on my an assault against this child in one of her flagship schools. Fiona does like to sweep the muck under the carpet when housekeeping. That way, all appears shiney and perfect, on the surface. I quote...

”I commend the Government for promoting the Emotionally Healthy Schools project, which, in my constituency, is working well and engaging not just children who have challenges, but their families. Does the Minister agree that helping children with their mental health challenges needs to involve, wherever practical, their families, family relationships and inter-parental relationships, as recommended by the Early Intervention Foundation?". I’d get rid of her, if possible before she gets to cabinet level.

They’re all out of touch. Cameron ran away after the Brexit referendum. The shit he’s dumped us all in will in no way affect his life.

I am clinging to the faint hope that, as a remainer who has some idea of the consequences, she is hanging on, and muddying the waters as much as possible, hoping that there is some fudge possible that sees us exiting in name only, with everything in place and that the Brexiters do, as the FT has been warning them, push too far and Parliament, or possibly even a combination of Parliament and the people see sense and it all goes away. This is, i think, our best hope, as being too clear about anything makes one set or other v v cross

I did briefly entertain the idea that she is a brilliant strategist and is just acting incompetent and victimised. Then one day - today please Mrs May! - she's going to do a State of the Nation style address where she tells us we're staying in the EU and anyone who doesn't like it can

😆 Wouldn’t that be marvellous, Dordogne? Much of the stuff the brexiteers voted for can never, ever happen. There will still be no boarder controls to keep “Jonny Foreigner” out. We’ll never see all that money advertised on the side of a bus. Large businesses will take their business/finances/production elsewhere (they already are doing) and we’ll be here, on our own with fuckall to our name.

I’ve travelled quite extensively throughout Europe. When I’m there, I always get the feeling we, the UK, are the arse end of Europe, in so many ways. Yet, we STILL insist we’re better than others. No wonder with Boris bloody Johnson blustering about doing his great British bulldog act.

I don’t see how TM can get away with a “nearly but not quite” Brexit. Especially given her reminding us that it’s the will of the people, “the people of the United Kingdom have spoken” and Brexit means Brexit.

At some point her time as prime minister will end. I wish and hope she will actually embrace that and stop trying to be the neutral chair of a body that is irreversibly divided but which is occupying government to prevent a Corbyn administration (which I fear she thinks is her highest calling) and state ' this is what we are going to do because'. Chaos will inevitably follow with mass resignations and possibly also the collapse of her administration. But that's better than stumbling into a fallen government over a minor issue and leaving Brexit STILL unresolved.

I will give her this though. When A50 was triggered, the momentum felt unstoppable and there was genuine fear of unrest if it hadn't been. The mood now is completely different. Her waiting and waiting and prevaricating MAY have been disastrous but it is also POSSIBLE that it has allowed the momentum on a hard Brexit to run into the ground. Maybe we will thank her in the end.

@annandale but it is also POSSIBLE that it has allowed the momentum on a hard Brexit to run into the ground.

Fingers crossed 😁

plan?

This is what we're fucking doing with Brexit. If you don't back me fuck off to the backbenches and start a leadership challenge if you want to - you weasley faced twats - I don't give a shit. I'm the Prime Minister and this is what we're bleeding well going to do"

OP I think this is actually what might have been said, or thereabouts !!
