Theresa May shelves plans to publish Brexit Withdrawal bill following Cabinet mutiny.

This situation just gets more and more farcical with each passing hour.

MGR1 · 05-23-19, 01:15 PM

It appears the main driving force behind Scottish Secretary of State Mundell's opposition to May's deal is the possibility of a second EU referendum. He and a few of his (unnamed) colleagues in the Cabinet are opposed due to the possibility of making an opening for the SNP to demand a second Indyref.

Even if a second referendum was to come to pass the Scottish branch of the Tory party would be bitterly opposed to it for that reason.

Anyway, we aren't going to find out who Scotland's new MEP's are until Monday at the earliest. Not because of Italy having it's vote on Sunday but because the local authorities in the Western Isles won't do anything on the Sabbath so no ballot counting will take place until Monday.....

I voted early to get it over with before I changed my mind. No more to say on this one until all the results are in Monday.

Just to add a friend of mine agreed if Boris wins Labour wins the GE because Boris will make a pigs ear of it.

Ministers expect Theresa May to reveal No 10 departure date on Friday

Is this the end for maybot, or will she try and hold on she is more stubbern than a whole field of mules...

^ well if England is not able to present another PM than Boris or Farage it is quite clear what will happen.
Imho this is not in the best interest of the people to say at least, but at least people will then see who is responsible for the mess and how competent they are.

Jimbuna · 05-24-19, 04:20 AM

May will resign on Friday 7th June.

I doubt she will be missed by many if any.

June 7th.

Why. Not. Now. Should at least her withdrawel go according to her glorious plans?

Well, who cares.

P.S. Ooops, Jim beat me by a second. I will never delay a post again for just correcting a typo. From now on, you guys have to live with them.

Jimbuna · 05-24-19, 04:26 AM

If your not fast, your last

Besides, the announcement was about ten minutes earlier coming up on my phone whilst I was in the shower

STEED · 05-24-19, 04:44 AM

Next up Boris wins

Boris arses up

Jeremy wins the General election

BossMarks gets drunk

Jim leaves the country

STEED keeps on moaning

And Sky & Cat settle their EU differences with a duel with pistols

Jimbuna · 05-24-19, 04:53 AM

Actually, the wife and I were tentatively considering a move abroad now that the kids are up and gone a few years back before the whole Brexit farce began.

If it is ever settled I'm wondering if those discussions will come up again, the wife reckons not.

A friend here witness this when he went to vote.

Not to mention UK citizens living in the EU not be allowed to vote in the brexit referendum back then. Some (thousands) of UK citizens in Germany have asked for german passports

but also some living in the UK for EU ones
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...r-eu-passports

So May's almost gone. Anyone named June for next PM?

STEED · 05-24-19, 05:28 AM

^BOJO BORIS THE FRONT RUNNER.

We are boned if he wins.

I'm reliably informed there are eighteen interested parties and whilst Boris is being touted as the favourite the list will be whittled down to two candidates so much will depend on whos said candidates turn to support.

There is much mistrust toward Boris within the party ranks and he did himself no favours with all the lies he spouted prior to the referendum.

STEED · 05-24-19, 05:36 AM

^ The name is Boris, Boris Bond. No one else did a hire wire act that shows I'm a Lion and they are fodder.

Must be nice to have a Head of State resign when they realize they are no longer effective in that position.

Must be real nice.....
