*David Davis resigns as Brexit secretary

 

Leadership challenge maybe, but next GE isn’t due till 2022. Corbyn will be 73 if he’s still around.

 

Is that the sound of the **** hitting the fan ?

 

There wasn't one due last time but we still had one.... If these lot can't agree on brexit and start resigning then I can't see any other option but a General election.

Who realistically can take over the torie party and bring them together?

This country deserves better than this because at the moment we are heading out of Europe and we don't know what the full implications will be....

 

About f%&king time the useless f&#king gammon c&$t.

 

So. much for collective responsibility. The Cabinet literally spend hours, not to say thousands of
pounds at Chequers, supposedly thrashing out and agreeing a Brexit deal in readiness to publish it in a White Paper
and this happens. As well as Davies's resignation, you've got the sideshow of Esther McVeigh lying to Parliament
over Universal Credit and Boris saying that for all their talks, their achievements are akin to " polishing a turd."
A gaggle of self obsessed megalomaniacs the majority of whom are promoting a " race to the bottom" type of Society in the UK, with some in particular totally focussed on ousting May in their bid to be Prime Minister. What an absolute shower.
They now realise that they have concocted a deal that their own back benchers let alone Barnier and Co will accept and are now scurrying around like rats trying to get off a sinking ship. Let's have a General Election, in the hope, this lot are shown the door and a Coalition of some kind, can come in to work together to finally deliver what the majority of us voted for in the
Brexit referendum. What a "ball of chalk" the Tory Party really is.!

 

I can't think of anything worse than a general election to be honest. If we think the divisions and the tory version of Brexit is catastrophic, imagine mixing in labours mess to the pot.

My only hope is that I they can't find a way that isn't self harming, they have the decency and put it back to the people and say, this is the best we can do, its a shambles, do we go with this, or stay in the EU.

Obviously we'll get the vitriol of the right wing, but its the least worst option left. This was always going to happen. Politicians at the highest level have a very odd psychology, highly geared to risk and danger, self serving and highly egotistical. To them, its about the game they play, not what they do for the country.

 

Nice

 

Politically, I think we're currently the most embarrassing nation in Europe.

 

What the majority voted for ? Errrr that would be leaving the EU the customs union and all other ties to that shower . Just for balance like !

 

This post sums up Brexit perfectly.

 

I agree. But the whole thing is a complete and utter shambles and has been from day one. They are at Westminster to serve
their constituents not their own self interest. A General Election would at least give the people a chance to rid themselves of
any errant self serving MP's and to bring in a candidate who has the electorates and not their own interests at the heart of what they are supposed to be doing whilst they are down there. Looks very likely that now DD has gone, Michael Gove could
be elevated to what potentially is one of the most important jobs in Government.

 

There’s not a political party in the country that would agree on brexit. The same thing would happen whoever had the reigns...

 

At the EU referendum the majority vote was to sever all ties with the European Union.
Our elected representatives should therefore stop all the in fighting and get on and do
what they have been tasked with.

 

Just for balance, an in out referendum can't possibly define what the people voted for and what the actions off the back of it should be.

 

It was always going to be a shambles from day one. There was never a "side" for the leave vote. it was just grandstanding mavericks all taking shots at migration. It was all about disruption and mistrust and nothing was about wat might be constructed in its place. Hence the simplistic "Brexit means Brexit" which means nothing.

As much as I dislike May, I have to say fair play that she stuck them in a room and said, ok, so if its not this, what is it? How do we solve the irish border, how do we retain businesses with complex multinational just in time methods and still make it attractive for them and how do we try and stick to some of the tenets of the aspect of taking back control (utter rot of a statement anyway, but tokenist soundbites are politics in this day and age)

You'd stll get a general election result turning out a tory govt, and probably a right wing one with the angry racists flocking behind that banner with ukip all but gone. I don't think that serves anyone well.

 

Loada ******** . The paper said stay or leave . It’s simple really .

 

Precisely

Where did it say leave the single market and customs union?

 

Even a daft old goat like me knew that leaving the EU was a bit more complicated than putting a cross in a box. So far all we've achieved is to make a shed load of money for all the hangers-on - the consultants, lawyers, advisers, accountants, and God knows who else. The vote hasn't even fulfilled its primary objective of uniting the Tory party. If anything, they're even more dysfunctional than before the vote.

It's becoming too daft to laugh at now...
