Not a great fan of Theresa May but if it came down to who one would support there simply would be no contest as Boris Johnson has never had the calibre or trustworthiness to be the leader of the Conservative party let alone be prime minister of the country.

For many that voted the economy was not the overriding issue.

It won’t be, it’ll be in 2022. She’ll step down either in October 2019 or 2020.

Pointless statement.

She hasn’t ruled out a career as a pole dancer after being PM either.

It might have to be. I don’t see how this government lasts that long when they can’t do anything.

I suppose that is reliant on if May gets replaced or not and if the DUP are happy with any replacement.

Just pretend you are an EU citizen. Apparently they all come here to lap up life on Universal Credit.

Re: Brexit

The Telegraph’s Christopher Hope reveals that different sources say different things.

Quote:

Senior Brexiteer with detailed knowledge of the count says 86 Tory MPs have voted that they have no confidence in Theresa May as Conservative leader

Quote:

I have spoken to four informed MPs tonight wandering around the House of Commons. They all said 100 MPs to 120 MPs to vote against Theresa May tonight. Enough to damage her severely going into the EU talks tomorrow. Result in an hour's time.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 09:01.
