Theresa May’s resigned.

And Cornwall. And Merseyside.

DarlingNikita · 24/05/2019 11:00

I feel so sorry for her.

Fuck that. Citizens of nowhere. 'Go Home' vans. Cosying up to the DUP. She can fuck off.

I don't disagree, though, that what is to come next is horrifying.

DarlingNikita · 24/05/2019 11:00

Boris Johnson will help Scotland get a yes vote next time, bring it on.

And Cornwall. And Merseyside.

And London. Independent city state.

What hell lies next nobody knows

Jaxhog · 24/05/2019 11:03

Be careful what you wish for - that's all.

Never was a truer word spoken!!!

Jaxhog · 24/05/2019 11:04

What a choice now: Boris, Jeremy or Nigel.

God help us. Time to emigrate I think.

Only hope for tories is surely a brexiteer remainder alliance. Johnson and Rudd? Or will boris ally himself with nige?

Radio 2 now playing 'Alright Now' can't help chuckle at first line of lyric

Ooh, which pool of raw sewage shall we jump into?

Moderatelycrafty · 24/05/2019 11:23

Dear lord. Boris and no deal here were come 🙈

oldmum22 · 24/05/2019 11:25

Boris is fun as a presenter on Have I got News for you ,but as PM, I don't think so .
Worrying times ahead

SherlockSays · 24/05/2019 11:27

Oh yes, the vultures circling are much better options.

isseywithcats · 24/05/2019 11:28

I feel sorry for her when Cameron did a runner he chucked her under the bus and then ran the bus over her and as others say is Boris Johnson Or Reece Mogg a better bet

LadyRannaldini · 24/05/2019 11:28

So who is there that can do a better job?

What would anyone else of whatever party have done to try and negotiate with the people who won't negotiate and are terrified that the UK will leave and they'll have to pick up the slack? Had it been Greece wanting to leave they would have held the door open!

In the words of Kylie 'the better the devil you know'

LadyRannaldini · 24/05/2019 11:30

Dear lord. Boris and no deal here were come

Once a small majority bought into Farage's lies, no deal was the only option, the rest of the EU were not prepared to negotiate.

Yellowhat33 · 24/05/2019 11:31

Cameron may have given us the election but 17.8 million voted to leave. Noone forced them to vote leave.

Yellowhat33 · 24/05/2019 11:32

Referendum not election

Jasging · 24/05/2019 11:34

What shower of shit will we end up with now? It's a bad day when Gove looks like the best option (!) back the boys club it is...

yoursworried · 24/05/2019 11:36

Oh cool now we can have Boris. That'll make everything better Hmm

Brexit is a fucking disgrace. Theresa tried under impossible circumstances. Her entire party bayed for her blood throughout , bringing her to her knees without any better ideas of their own. She did what she could with this poison chalice and this crappy issue will dominate this country for decades to come.

viques · 24/05/2019 11:37

Listened to something yesterday and a commentator said he thought history would deal with Teresa May a lot kinder and fairer than her self seeking colleagues have done.

As others have said, she has had to deal with an impossible situation that was neither of her making or her wish. She has been steadfast and has tried to maintain her path when others would have wimped out at the first chance, I admire her for that even though I don't agree with her.

I hope she is eventually offered a peerage, a) because it will rub it in to Blair and Cameron that they haven't been offered public recognition because they don't bloody deserve it and b) we have a shortage of people with moral courage in government, and although the House of Lords is in many ways an anachronism it does have a role to play in tempering the outright greed and self serving attitude of what appears to be the majority of the HOC.

And heaven help us all if the Tories select Boris . Or ReesMogg. Shudder. I am (and it is making me question my own sanity) leaning towards Gove in preference since there doesn't seem to be a woman in the running who is up to the job.

Pinkruler · 24/05/2019 11:38

Indeed - who can do a better job?

Difficult to feel any enthusiasm about this!

babysharkah · 24/05/2019 11:41

There is no one in my opinion capable of taking this on. The fact the party vote for the next leader themselves makes it even worse. The whole thing is a complete farce.

Alsohuman · 24/05/2019 11:44

There’s no way Rees Mogg will get anywhere near Downing Street and I think there’s a lot of over estimation of support for Boris in the PLP. He’s got to get into the last two for party members to vote for him. I suspect there will be a lot of connivance to make sure that doesn’t happen.

QuiFaitCa · 24/05/2019 11:47

I'm probably far too optimistic, but I (sort of) hope Boris gets the job - for a start he needs to have his nose rubbed in the mess he left - and still finds it just as impossible to get brexit through because parliament don't want it or won't compromise and (hopefully) won't let no deal happen. Then he will have to face the brexiteers and tell them it can't happen, or at least only a soft one - and really I can't believe there are that many really rabid extremists out there, who wouldn't understand that we've tried all sensible ways to make it happen without ruining the economy for years.
