Brexit mega thread part 8: platinum jubilee edition

[ChiswickFlo]

New thread

Sajid javid making a statement to the House after PMQs....

It's all kicking off....

So if anyone asks me what I did today I'm going to say I stayed home and watched the Tory party implode.

Me too!

And maybe #metoo is what will finally bring De Pfeffle down?

It's a remainers plot!

It's a plot so plotty today should be renamed plot day

It's a Remainers' plot orchestrated by those well known Remainers, David Davis, Andrew Bridgen

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I told ds1 I thought the resignations were orchestrated today...
He said "they aren't that clever"

And I know all of this is probably going to make many things more shit, not less shit, but for now I'm just going to enjoy the schadenfreude.

Me too...

Although fuck knows who'll replace the fucker.

My money is still on CHunt

"Aye, but what we three, what we do.
What design, what mind, what would you ?
He would dare, to try to kill a king
Needs know that is never a mean thing"

I thought yesterday was entertaining, but today is proving to be a day of truly excellent news.

My US friends have started commenting we've got our own Watergate. Some of them can remember the newsflashes of the Saturday Night Massacre.

"There will be no whitewash at the Whitehouse"

He that would dare, to try to kill a king

( of course 😀)

Imagine being a politics student right now!

Interesting

looks like we need a very quick law to reverse the supreme courts decision. Because I can't see our Saudi overlords being happy with it. Not one bit. If they have no confidence Boris can deliver, it may explain why he's going now.

or a bookie

Ds1 us studying history and politics:)

It's been an....interesting...day

Much as I despise Dominic Cummings he has succeeded in destroying the tories.

He stated aim.

Seems Shapps and Zahawi are going to tell Boris to go too.

Wither Mad Nad ?

Be interesting to imagine the new look cabinet when Boris and his cronies have been removed. Patel will go, as will Raab and Truss.

Wow.
So bribing with chancellor wasn't enough to secure Zahawis allegiance it seems...

Fascinating speculation that the Queen could refuse to grant a request to dissolve parliament. Some very heavy wargaming going on in the shadows.

That's if she's still for this world ...

Will never happen.
But the lacselles rules could have applied if we were under a different monarch (Charles or William...)
Hopefully he'll tend his resignation...
(Will also never happen...)

I've been trying to catch up all today as I was at ds'graduation yesterday: an MA in Politics and International Relations
