To think that if Rees-Mogg or Boris become Tory Party leader we are even more done for than currently

and that the people bastards who have signed the no confidence letter have only their own interests at heart. The country at large is irrelevant to them.

I'm actually hoping for a 2nd referendum too, it's far clearer what is on the table now, people can make a much better informed choice. If TM stays, or someone else steps in, I hope they have the balls to push that through.

Well, YANBU, but I don't believe either of them actually want to be PM right now. Why would they? They'd actually have to do something about Brexit then, rather than complain about it.

No no, much better to wait until the end of March for it all to go tits up and then swoop into power in a win-win situation - if it goes wrong it's not your fault and if it goes well you take all the credit. It happens in football all the time.

JRM for PM

pancaketosser · 12/12/2018 14:57

JRM doesnt give two shiny shites about anyone or anything other than being seen to win.

To be honest, I don't think any of them do.

David Cameron didn't do it to represent people or serve them, he did it because he wanted to be PM, as evidenced by the fact that he fucked off so quickly. As did Osbourne. And Blair (he even delayed becoming a catholic to be PM).

I briefly thought Corbyn was different, but it appears not.

Poloshot, care to say why you think this?

If we have a second referendum and the result is still leave. Is there any chance people will stop moaning?

GCAcademic · 12/12/2018 15:35

The Tories voted for a leader two years ago. If they are now allowed to change their minds, having discovered that the outcome is not to their liking, then they should afford the same opportunity to the public.

Russiawithlove · 12/12/2018 15:40

But nobody in parliament cares what the public wants. Isn't that obvious? They only care about themselves.
Do not delude yourself any longer that your wishes matter.

where's Corbyn?

He's posting on facebook saying that tonight's vote is irrelevant and we should be more concerned about Universal Credit.

Which about sums him up. A hard Brexit suits Corbyn's politics but he hasn't got the guts to say so.

Dreadful to have such an apathetic opposition leader.

Im not moaning...but as an example my farage has moaned for years aboit the EU, my dad has moaned for years aboit the EU, my husband has moaned for years about the EU

IF i wanted to moan about leaving the EU i damn well will...if only to catch up!!

Russiawithlove · 12/12/2018 15:47

Rufus that actually is a brilliant answer Grin

Avegemitesandwich · 12/12/2018 15:48

If Labour sorted themselves out, got rid of Corbyn and the ridiculous shower of Momentum bros, and got someone in who wasnt a complete joke, then we might have a way out.

As it is though....

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 12/12/2018 16:01

Fairly sure the majority of the Tory party hate JRM and Boris.

The trouble is there are a lot of people who want the job, but not yet. Meaning someone like David Davies (yes I think dead ringers too) could end up as an interim while the others wait for their moment.

On a really trivial note, Nick Robinson tweeted about Boris' leadership-candidate haircut at the weekend. i noticed this morning Amber Rudd had had her highlights done. Are there any more hairdos we should be tracking?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 12/12/2018 17:35

Thats what i get for typing in a rush
