@TheRedBarrows just looked up Jo Swindon voting record and I can't see an issue unless I'm missing something obvious?

StCharlotte I recall watching an episode of Gogglebox when Mary was recounting an anecdote to Giles. She said how at a party nobody wanted to talk to Cameron and he was actually pretty much snubbed by his peers and was left standing alone in the corner.

Yet another reason for Indyref2 I reckon.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 23/07/2019 12:50

Well, a second referendum is now off the table so that's 'no deal' by the looks of things. And in any case it will be the default position unless he comes up with another deal PDQ, and gets it pushed through, AND gets the EU to agree to it. How is he going to fare any better at that than May did?

Guess this outcome is now all-but inevitable, but it's soul-destroying just the same. Just watch what happens to the stock markets over the next few months ...

They have absolutely NOTHING in common apart from what they look like

Do you actually believe this? You can’t see any other similarities?

Shiiiiiiittttt. Brexit is bad enough, but he mentioned education #duckandcover

Uk is now just one big clusterfuck of fucks

You cannot keep re-voting just until you get the result that you like FFS

historysock · 23/07/2019 12:51

Fibbke-they have a few things in common surely? Inherent racism, incompetence, self interest over anything else, total lack of awareness or maybe lack of care about how they and we as the country are perceived? There's a couple to be going on with...

The EU have said there is no more negotiation to be had.

When will people realise - Brexit is not going to work. The only way it will happen is a disastrous no deal scenario and we will pay the price of that for generations.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 23/07/2019 12:52

Isn't it quite damning that they all feel they can't get a word in edgeways on here?

Not really. They can speak as they see fit, just as anyone else can.

But you have to ask yourself why 'shy Tories' are a thing ...

Cinammoncake · 23/07/2019 12:52

Lib Dems already came out and said they wont form a Gov with Labour.

She said with Corbyn not with Labour

HE IS NOT OUR OWN DONALD TRUMP
They have absolutely NOTHING in common apart from what they look like

Giant egos? Dodgy attitude towards the women in their lives. Flexible relationship with the truth. Those are the first few that spring to mind

VivienneHolt · 23/07/2019 12:52

They actually have quite a lot in common. They’re both right wing and anti immigration. They are both radically incompetent. They have both been caught in serious lies multiple times and yet not suffered political detriment as a result. They are both mistrusted by civil servants and politicians from other nations. They are both self-serving and ambitious to a fault.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 23/07/2019 12:53

When will people realise - Brexit is not going to work. The only way it will happen is a disastrous no deal scenario and we will pay the price of that for generations.

Which is why I wrote in my post that a 'no deal' Brexit was now looking inevitable.

I agree with your assessment of the consequences of this, though.

Dark days have just got darker.

Fibbke · 23/07/2019 12:54

I don't think Boris does have a total lack of awareness, I don't think he has self interest over everything else, he is a socially liberal Tory. Is he incompetent? He wasn't a good foreign secretary, that's true.

Donald Trump had zero political experience, appeals to the lowest common denominator - he's politically much closer to Farage.

Vacanzaromane · 23/07/2019 12:54

I know nothing about him. Is he that bad? Im not in the UK

SinkGirl · 23/07/2019 12:54

That’s not what’s happening. People voted for the concept of leaving the EU and were completely misled on what that meant. Anyone sensible would have watched the complete fuck show that’s unravelled over the last three years and realised it’s not possible for Brexit to have a positive outcome for the U.K.

PortiaCastis · 23/07/2019 12:54

They have a birthplace in common both born in New York
So yep our PM was born in the USA
I feel a song coming on now 😀

SinkGirl · 23/07/2019 12:54

😂😂😂

fotheringhay · 23/07/2019 12:55

I really hope the PLP kick Corbyn out with another vote of no confidence asap.

Literally any other Labour MP would be preferable (or in one or two cases, at least no worse)

VivienneHolt · 23/07/2019 12:55

There is no law saying that you can’t have a second vote on something years later when it has become clear that the thing people voted for is substantially different to what they were led by the proven lies and rule breaking of others to believe it would be.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 23/07/2019 12:55

Where are all the people who voted Leave? MNs demographic is very Remain. You'll have to go elsewhere to find a site that is more Leave.

Lweji · 23/07/2019 12:55

Fuck.

That is all.
