Andrea ‘as a mother’ Leadsome

Does she think quitting now will put enough distance between her and the shit show we’re now all in? I for one, won’t forget.

Also how can they all now be scratching each other’s faces off on the eve of an election? They genuinely don’t carefully about the county do they? Only their stupid leadership contest which won’t matter a jot because after the clusterfuck of the last few years, the Conservatives are gone for a generation.

In your dreams

Whichever Tory sap is inflicted upon us next will have a 5 minute honeymoon period before they quickly realise they're in the same position as May.

Leadsom truly is loathsome, and not a particularly intelligent person. Boris Johnson is a lazy self-serving wanker with the attention span of a gnat and the ego the size of a small country. I'll gladly watch either of them fail.

All the while the country goes further to shit...

the Conservatives are gone for a generation.

They should be, but the other parties - especially Labour - have been so spectacularly shit there's not even any guarantee they'd lose a GE tomorrow

She is bailing out at the last minute 'washing her hands' of something she has helped steer! Like Boris Buffoon, she is only interested in her career - and doesn't give a shit about the rest of the country.
And - yes, shame on Labour for not being ready and able to step in with common sense.

As for Ruth Davison in Scotland saying she could work with Boris Buffoon if he was PM - geez, she's on glue like him!

She is not 'bailing out' though is she, she is resolute in her determination not to go while all around are telling her to 'do one'.

time4chocolate · 22/05/2019 21:54

Stone - Oooh beg your pardon, I just realised you were talking about AL not TM (thread title should have given me a clue Blush) Need an early night I think. As you were.

QueenBlueberries · 22/05/2019 21:57

Time4chocolate no doubt we will talk about TM departure very soon indeed.

Butterymuffin · 22/05/2019 22:03

She's always seemed extraordinarily stupid. If she were an Apprentice candidate they'd reveal all the lies on her CV in interview week (she's been let's say misleading about her past jobs) then boot her out.

I should’ve stated in my OP that as much as I hate the current Tory party, I am a swing voter and have zero time for Jeremy ‘on the fence’ Corbyn either.

I can’t believe the state of the top two parties but I currently despise the Conservatives more for what they’re doing to our country.

Does anyone else think she’s heading for the Brexit party? She’d fit right in...

Flicketyflack · 22/05/2019 22:24

Politicians argue while British Steel goes down the loo, people are losing their jobs, restaurants are closing, the high street is dying Angry

Wtf are they doing?
Serving themselves & their ego 🙄

Ihatemyseleffordoingthis · 22/05/2019 22:32

TM will go on Friday, according to the Spectator, who usually know what is going in with the Tories

They will be wiped out in the EU elections -Brexit party will get their votes, pushing the party to elect a hard brexiteer pushing for No Deal

Andrea Leadsom is a joke but she's nowhere near as terrifying as Esther McVey

lyralalala · 22/05/2019 22:53

How she didn’t have to resign after misleading parliament over the universal credit report sums up the state of politics for me atm. They can just do and say what they like and no one will hold them to account
