I know May said she is not gonna resign but come the fuck on.
When you have got this much opposition in your own party and your own MPs have gone on national television today saying they need new leadership your days are numbered.
Maybe they'll just change the locks on No. 10?
"in a smooth and orderly w- bahahahahaha"

If we're gonna do Brexit, the deal seems like a pretty good approach. Delays permanent answers on a lot of stuff which is clearly needed
Shit that's a pretty good idea. Time to look up London locksmiths.
It's funny, as a Canadian I sometimes go "Gosh my government can be a bit daft." and then I look over the pond at the UK and see them chugging bleach and telling everyone how tasty it is.
Unfortunately this deal will still allow the EU to determine how much bleach we're allowed to chug. This is a bad deal and we must reject it, even if it means we end up chugging no bleach at all
Toxx
Don't need to look over here though, just look South and you'll see the President of the US jacking bleach up his ass via enema.
You have become a comedy at this point, I actually started laughing
It's more like having an 18 month discussion about the exact spot on the foot we should shoot ourselves, and what the calibre should be, while some people try to argue that the manliest option would just be to give our kneecaps both barrels.
Brexit is this:

I wonder what my dad is going to say next time I see him. He's not even British but he lived in London for 5 years or so in the 1980s so he feels the need to have an opinion on the matter.
Last time I spoke to him he believed that completely withdrawing overnight and then renegotiating everything would be easy because the UK is in the strongest position. And if it's not, it's because the EU are being stubborn.
Heard at lunch that May was struggling to find anyone who wanted to be Brexit Sec - Gove reportedly turned it down.
Now she has appointed Steve "literally who?" Barclay

It's been a slow decline lol, David Davis was an A-lister, Dominic Raab probably B-list, now we have skipped a few letters
I'm really surprised, with Brexit offering so much hope and opportunity for the future, that we don't see everyone clambering over each other to have a chance at being Brexit secretary. Surely the most lucrative job available!
When you can't get the A or B teams on the job.
Yeah I mean look at all those Leave campaigners that immediately jumped ship the moment the referendum passed, can't believe they would pass up such an opportunity.
To think this all happened because almost every political party believed Brexit would fail the vote, even the ones that campaigned for it. What a shitshow.
Since I can't be bothered to read over 500 pages of "the deal",what's in them that people claim there is no deal?
might quit my job to become Brexit Secretary
actually thats the problem, you will probably be unemployable at a professional level after committing that level of career suicide.
We're not cruel enough to compare any other government to the US'.
well he can toss his bag of shit at them but we shouldn't make it contingent on them resigning, we have no idea whether shit flinging will make them resign or not.
RIP the deal

Technically there isn't a deal at the moment - nothing has been agreed by UK parliament or the EU27 - this is just a legal text covering the withdrawal agreement over the transition period whilst the future trading arrangement is negotiated.
The problem people have with this is that it locks the UK into taking EU rules and having the ECJ as arbiter of those rules (which the leavers don't agree with, claiming we'd lose sovereignty, which leavers were previously claiming we didn't have to lose). The UK would not be able to leave the CU without both sides agreeing to it and wouldn't be able to make trade deals during this period. Meanwhile the UK would lose its representation in the European Council and Parliament meaning it would have no say in making the rules whilst also losing other benefits of being in the EU such as freedom of movement. Leavers are afraid this arrangement could become a permanent limbo position.
This arrangement is less damaging to the UK economically, especially compared to a no deal scenario, but essentially the UK would be better off being a member of the EU (which is the case in any circumstance in reality) if it's going to continue to be a rule taker, not a rule maker (because, yes, we do have a say in the rules being a member of the EU).
Good, no deal, it will be interesting to see if they allow amendments on it.
