Theresa May stepping down just announced

[Mummyoflittledragon]

TM has agreed to start the process of leaving office in June. I have mixed feelings and am very worried about the future of this country. AIBU to think this is going to make the situation worse and possibly lead to no deal Brexit?

It’s the ERG and DUP that have blocked Brexit.

I'm saying
"May will finish in June" a lot...

:o

I am fairly powerless but if I had power to block Brexit I would have done. Brexit is a fucking stupid idea

Remainers, you now only have yourselves to blame for what happens next. You should have been honourable and respected the result as any decent, honest human being would, but you didn’t, and now you have unleashed something far far worse. It’s on your heads

Dont be silly

You're so hilarious @Springwalk . What a lot of silly nonsense.
The people to blame for this current mess are Leave MPs who don't have the balls to do a grown up Leave via WA. That's the only reason it hasn't gone through.
Even Gove could see that. Get out without messing with GFA. Imperfect but out. Fix stuff when you are out without messing with GFA.
All this unicorns and rainbows shit about a perfect Brexit was never going to happen.

@StealthPolarBear

How many people was it who disagreed with you?

Quitlings still blaming everyone else for the shit storm they set in motion I see.

Anyway, TM was the best of a bad bunch. I can't see Boris getting enough votes though. I have a colleague who was a senior advisor in the Home Office. She actually believes TM will be replaced with a hard Remainer who will either lead a charge for another referendum or revoke A50 altogether. I think this is wildly optimistic, but it gives me a smidge of hope.

Is that the past tense you are talking in, Flobochin?

She's never kept any of her other promises on things much more important than this, so I'll believe it when if it actually happens.

If the Tories are thinking they're going to give us another unelected prime minister, then we need to have a general election. The Conservative Party: the natural home of the incompetent, the dishonest, the venal, the utterly amoral.

All this shows is that, as usual with the Tories, it's party before country. As it was with the misguided idea of having a referendum to try and heal the divisions within the party (anyone who thinks Cameron called it for any other reason is talking through their arse; UKIP were no threat whatsoever as is clearly seen from election results).

Flobochin loads. So?

Including lots of people who are goi g to see the impact first hand as they lose their jobs and EU funding

The sooner the better this vile woman goes and the rest of the Tories. Police cuts, knife crime, homelessness, etc, etc, most of all Universal Credit, people are dying and committing suicide over this benefit and all she says on pmqs is lowest unemployment, yeah right, if you work one hour a week you are classed as working, sanctions, it goes on and on, Corbyn isn't much better but must be better than her and the rest of these Tories.

Oh yeah before I get slated I voted to leave and also voted for Nigel's Brexit party.😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋

Chris Grayling for PM... let’s face it there is nothing left that he can fuck up

Nigel Farage wants to privatise the NHS. How is that going to help those on low incomes?

How is anyone going to help people on low income? Get rid of zero hour contracts, only employ foreigners who come here for decent jobs like nurses, not coffee shops, pay everyone at least £10 an hour, you tell me people like McDonald's can't afford to pay £10 an hour, this will get more people back into work, stop foreign buyers buying property and letting them out at ridiculous prices, I remember 20plus years ago, if you were unemployed and applied for housing benefit, they came round to see if the property was with the rent, that doesn't happen nowadays.These politicians don't live in the real world as nearly all of them were spoon-fed, never had to struggle, if you are working you shouldn't have to receive benefits just to make ends meet and when this vile Universal Credit is fully rolled out it's only going to get worse😭😭😭😭😭😭

Rees-Mogg, Johnson, Gove, Fox, Davis, McVey, remainers? Since when did they jump ship?

you tell me people like McDonald's can't afford to pay £10 an hour

Am sure they can but I'm equally sure that lots of smaller businesses or charities would find that a struggle. Where would they get the extra income? Oh, put up their prices perhaps?

Salaries have dropped considerably - I am earning much less that I did 15 years ago 😭. Even jobs I see in my old industry are paying less then they did then - but the more senior jobs are paying a lot more. The gap seems to have widened considerably.

I know young workers now getting maybe £10k more now for their 2nd or 3rd job than I did for my first job out of uni in 1990! And costs of living have increased so much (my travel has quadrupled over the same time).

only employ foreigners who come here for decent jobs like nurses, not coffee shops

What else qualifies in your glorious regime as a "decent job" for which foreigners are allowed? Am sure anyone on MN who works in a coffee shop will be glad to know you don't think they have a "decent job", some of whom may well be single mothers for whom that part time role is a life line in more ways than one. Any MNetter who frequents a coffee shop can treat their serving staff with contempt as it's not a "decent job"

These politicians don't live in the real world as nearly all of them were spoon-fed, never had to struggle

Farage was a City banker. He went to private schools. He has no policies to make life better for anybody struggling, his party has not even said what its policies are before the election, but he’s had tons of funding from his very rich friends. You think because he drinks pints in pubs and rants about the ‘elite’ that he’s on our side? Come on. Wise up.

He is the UK tin pot trump. It then we have Boris to watch out for. DH grimly predicted that he would be the next Tory leader. I could have wept into my cornflakes.

Chris Grayling for PM... let’s face it there is nothing left that he can fuck up

Careful what you wish for.....
