The ERG to be the grinch that stole the Tory Party Christmas who ultimately get what they deserve.

To remain in the EU

Donald Trump's impeachment

For politics to be boring again

A trex toy for my son

I wonder what little words of wisdom May picked up from Mrs Merkel and the others yesterday?

LOL at CCHQ Xmas party tonight. Fun fun fun!

"there's dispute over how long a leadership contest might actually take - some MP s believe it could happen in a couple of weeks, doesn't have to take forever"

But don't party members have to vote between the final two candidates? So a quick contest is only possibly if there's only one candidate left (a la 2016).

Alex Wickham@alexwickham
Tory MPs on WhatsApp expressing surprise at certain cabinet ministers’ tweets backing May. “That’s not what he’s been saying in private,” says one. “Assume that means he won’t be running after all,” says another.

Would that be Hunt, Gauke or Javid who is the leadership backstabber?

Michael Gove @ michaelgove
I am backing the Prime Minister 100% - and I urge every Conservative MP to do the same. She is battling hard for our country and no one is better placed to ensure we deliver on the British people’s decision to leave the EU.

Or Gove...

This is just seems like more clock-running-down before we are plunged into no deal.

Amber Rudd @ amberruddhr
The PM has my full support. At this critical time we need to support and work with the PM to deliver on leaving the EU, & our domestic agenda - ambitious for improvements to people’s lives & to build on growth of wages & jobs.

Or Rudd.

Of course. Thats why the ERG were prepared to gamble.

People questioning no government seal on the lectern outside No10 - what’s the significance of this?

Double check your antivirus software is up to date.
Good time for a small Russian (or indeed anyone with stakes in the UK crashing badly) 'meddling'.

PS, I LIKE sprouts!
PPS I would like a flourescent orange passport so I can find it easily.

David Gauke floating the notion of a "delay" to 29 March deadline on Today programme - guess that's him first out the traps then.

I reckon Gove does all the Machiavellian stuff purely out of wicked sense of humour - he clearly cannot help himself Grin

Steve Barclay MP @ stevebarclay
I fully support the PM. This is a crucial stage with weeks to go before we leave the EU. We need to back @theresa_may and deliver the referendum result. The PM is working in our national interest and this distraction risks damaging uncertainty.

No Government seal suggests she is resigning.

No it's a none government announcement. Thus no seal.

George Parker @ georgewparker
If the Brexiteers remove Theresa May and install one of their own in Number 10, can anyone imagine the HoC endorsing the "hard Brexit" / no deal strategy they would pursue? As @TomMcTague points out, it would just take seven Remainer "rebels" to block it...#GE2019

Penny Mordaunt @ pennymordaunt
The Prime Minister has my full support, not least because she has always done what she firmly believes is in the national interest. Our country needs us all to fight for a good deal and prepare for a no deal senario. All eyes and hands should be on that task.

David Cameron @ davidcameron
Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - stability and strong Government with me, or chaos with Ed Miliband

Oh sorry that one's from another time.

Sarah Wollaston @sarahwollaston
I hope the ERG lose badly and we can see the back of their pompous threats for a year

Sarah, the ERG could threaten to back a Labour no confidence vote to trigger a GE... Just to create more chaos.

BiglyBadgers · 12/12/2018 08:47

She has been the one to push for the vote to happen tonight. I cant imagine she is going to resign now. Anyway, I just don't think she is capable of resigning, it's not an act that is in her programming.

Saying that everything is fucked so who can say.

MissMalice · 12/12/2018 08:49

Here she is

prettybird · 12/12/2018 08:50

So she's going through all her clichés Hmm

Andrea Leadsom @ andrealeadsom
Vital to support @theresa_may today. She is working hard in the interest of the U.K. to get a good Brexit deal and she has my full support.
