Past caring, i think at the next GE i’ll Vote for an independent or the MRLP. The vote is worthless anyway.

Well your vote is worthless unless you live in a marginal constituency, but that's the way we like it apparently...

The only reason to replace May now is for a long extension or Norway. If the plan was no deal on 12th April they could force her to see that through and stick the knife in afterwards.

After this debacle, especially in the North, it will be very interesting to see what former Labour strongholds become “ marginal seats “.

Does Corbyn ever venture further North than Islington, unless trying to make out an empty train is full?

I would imagine Kate Hoey's will be one such marginal seat.

On the contrary, this is a Conservative party mess. A revived UKIP equivalent will chip away at their percentage.

Indeed, all over the Sunday press. Looks like Gove, one of the more able ministers is being tipped as her replacement. https://news.sky.com/story/sundays-n...pages-11673807

One of Brutus's friends you mean....

Aided and abetted by Corbyn's equivocation.

Have we ever had a prime minister and a opposition leader as bad as these two and the answer has to be a big thumping no..

While I agree he’s useless I think if he’d supported a second referendum earlier (or more forcefully) that’d have resulted in the Conservatives finding a common position earlier. We’d have got Brexit.

By allowing the Conservatives to implode this late in the day Labour has facilitated this opportunity. It can hand on heart say there was no alternative.

Assuming Farage's new Brexit party is vaguely competent. It recently sacked its leader for Islamophobic tweets so this is not a given.

A dog whistle with a union flag has the scope to get a couple of percent without even trying. A fairly incompetent one could still get enough to undermine the Tory vote.
