Brexit

Westminstenders: One Pepperoni Pizza Please. And a Milkshake To Go.

On the Eve of the EU Elections that we never met to happen, and we don't know what the next hour next mind day might bring.

Farage is enjoying the theatre of milkshakes. It means he gets attention and gets to play the victim. And avoid talking about his dodgy friends and even dodgier financing. The Brexit Party are polling so highly its possible he could be PM. And boy does he know it. The temptation is there and its too much to resist.

May has refused to resign so far tonight after a day of asking her to. The 1922 Committee refused to change the rules to help oust her - possibly because they don't want the next PM to be beset with challenges to the leadership at the drop of a hat. Graham Brady is seeing her on Friday... The ERG are not happy bunnies.

May is still apparently planning to plough on with the WAB with a referendum possibly attached. Though this remains to be seen.

Meanwhile Leadsom has just quit the Cabinet. She was one of the Brexit 'Pizza Club'. Rumours are this might be the Cabinet withdrawing support for her. Though Gove has said he doesn't intend to resign (tonight at least).

Rumour is that May's senior staff have abandoned her to let her make the decision to go. And rumours are that when Leadsom rang May to tell her she was leaving cabinet, May didn't tell her senior staff. This comes two weeks after rumours where that Phillip May was at the point of telling her it was time to resign. The rumours of course may be just that, rumours but it's hard to see how or why anyone would tell her to carry on now.

And so tomorrow. Who would vote for this utter shower of shit? Even if you were the most loyal of Tories?

The thing tomorrow is to get the remain vote out. It doesn't matter ultimately what people vote for. Every vote cast for remain keeps the Brexit Party popular vote down. Even if it doesn't win seats. And that is psychologically important.

Tomorrow make sure EVERYONE you know who is anti brexit party votes. More so if they are a Remainer voting for a Remain party, but also if they are solid Labour or the rarest of things, a true blue.

It MATTERS. Narratives will be set.

If you are not sure if you are registered to vote, please TRY ANYWAY. The worst case is you are turned away and have lost 20 mins of your life. But you might also be able to vote and that might change the course of events.

Talk to people tomorrow. Remind them. Make sure it's about preventing a hard right foothold. Apathy will destroy our futures. Being fed up of politicians so refusing to vote is actively shooting yourself in the face.

Who am I voting for?

Still no idea. But I will vote.

CHILL, he is coming to fix the boiler, not a house inspection.

No it's an inspection not fixing. Estate agent coming too.

My house looks like a bomb has hit. May not be able to get to boiler for boxes...

Consensus... she sounds fed up.
Winton ref interesting.
'Compromise is not a dirty word' - she's right, just didn't manage it!
now defending her record in general - hmmm, not convincing.
'decent, modern and patriotic'? - they've destroyed our international standing comprehensively made us a laughing stock! A voice to the voiceless? I think not!!! Grenfell too? Hmmm.
A family of nations...

Oh, now i feel sorry for her, crying at the end. Poor woman :(

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 24/05/2019 10:13

Was it actual tears (listening to R4)?

I don’t think I’ve ever tutted that much in such a short timeframe, the dogs look worried & the toddler has learnt a new skill.

prettybird · 24/05/2019 10:14

Saying "Compromise is not a dirty word" is all very well if she hadn't put in a string of red lines right at the start that made compromise impossible ConfusedAngry

RedToothBrush · 24/05/2019 10:15

She's devasted. Utterly devasted.

She knows she's failed.

Damn it, I missed the statement.

Sorry red, I think I need to remember "a little learning is a dangerous thing" and just cos it seems straight forward to me as a lay person that doesn't mean it actually is.
