You know 7 minutes ago when I asked how the UK could humiliate itself more?

Reports saying that rees-mogg’s ERG lot have got enough letters to have a no-confidence vote in Theresa May.

I’m fed up with her but omg what will we look like to the rest of the world if we change prime minister now

Thinking about this; there could be further twists. Just because the ERG has enough letters to trigger a motion doesn't necessarily mean the end of May. Most MPs could vote with her. Others don't wanna do Brexit. it would be fittingly shambolic if the there is a confusing clusterfuck of a non-leadership contest. lol

@AndrewtheAlu I think the ERG care much more about their Brexit fantasy than they do about the Tory Party. Having just enough letters doesn't mean that the rest of the party agree. May is nothing if not stubborn and would try to carry on.a lot depends on Johnson and Gove followes but I suspect they want to blame things on May and don't want responsibility.

Who knows though? I should give up predicting.
@Burnley123 at this point I don’t think anyone can predict 😅

@AndrewtheAlu Looks like I was right on this one lol.

Will this be a no confidence within the Conservative party or a full have to have an election no confidence. Your system fascinates and confuses me.
@monte3 I think she was a newsreader or something but I hadn’t heard of her then
monte3 · 70-79, M
Well that is more qualification than being a reality tv person. @AndrewtheAlu
@monte3 that depends who she was newsreading for lol

It never should have gotten this far.
@MarkPaul it should never have even started

@AndrewtheAlu Agreed. The entire world is going crazy over some mindless idiots who seem to be intent on having their moment in the searing sun.

Like we're doing what we have to do to get out of Europe instead of letting her bind us into more years of oppression.

She's trying to Norway us. We need more like a Canada arrangement.

Her proposal was lazy and half arsed. If she doesn't want to do the job properly then she needs to resign.
@KaiserSolze Canada doesn’t solve the Irish border problem though. Do you have a solution for that?
KaiserSolze · 46-50, F
@AndrewtheAlu technology. Just because no one else has used technological border control doesn't mean we can't. We don't need check Points, it's archaic.

Besides I also think give Ireland to the Irish, but that's too much to ask for at the moment lol probably because I'm of Irish decent and whenever the IRA blew anything up when I was a kid my dad said "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" which doesn't apply to Muslims because they want everyone to be Muslim which is more oppressive than anything else. Anyway also let Scotland go it's own way if they want to. Scotland costs us money to keep. We subsidise their services and unis. They have a better health service than England because England pays for it.

I have my own views for my own reasons. I don't buy into any propaganda if I can help it. I knew none of this would be pretty. I waited over 10years to be able to vote out of Europe since the fishing industry got shafted so I probably see it differently. It's not about immigration. We need immigration. It's about being taken advantage of because we're one vote amongst alot of countries that don't like us and about free trade. We don't have free trade while we're in Europe and if Mrs May gets her way we won't when we leave either.

Bananas... Cheap, always been cheap, still are. They tried to ban bent bananas - do you remember that? We kicked up such a stink because we like our bananas bent and the government had to refuse to follow that rule. Now if we hadn't and they'd banned "bent bananas" do you think we'd still have cheap bananas. I don't think so.

I find this all hilarious. You'll cry if you don't laugh.

Will the Tories have a new leader for Brexit or will they call an election? What must Europe (and the world) think of this very British Clusterfudge.

@Burnley123 Memo from Michel Barnier to EU27 leaders

" Sit tight, if we don't budge they'll go away in April and leave us alone"
SW-User
I can't imagine much worse than Rees-Mogg as PM
SW-User
@AndrewtheAlu That's true. I think I'd prefer direct rule from Brussels, I don't have much faith in any of our politicians.
@SW-User can you think of anyone you would like to see as PM?
SW-User
@AndrewtheAlu Not really no.

Where did you see this?
@Burnley123 listening to lbc and seeing political commentators on twitter. Apparently May meets Graham Brady after PMQ tomorrow
You will look smart...
@Soossie to get rid of her is smart but at the same time changing the only consistent thing from our government 3 months before we jump off a cliff is not smart
Idek what I want anymore, I just want it all to stop
thats what is wrong with politics..... we involve ourselves in a game, loser of which we know we are.... @AndrewtheAlu
