Three months until Brexit talks start again and we're entering a quiet period anyway. It won't impact that, just makes the government look yet more shambolic.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

News correction, not resigned, he was sacked... At last the PM has grown a pair...

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Still saying resigned on Sky News, which news source, BBC ?

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Well yes and the current bun if you prefer !

'forced to resign' seems to be the politer description going round.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

The letter says May asked for his resignation which he gave. Up to you if you consider that fired or not. I would say it pretty much is, not like he had the option to stay.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

I have just seen the PMs letter to asking him to resign, so it's a sacking then.

I still don't think Corbyn is any where near to being PM yet and given Labour's conflicting stance on Brexit, I am not sure they would be able to soak up some of the old UKIP voters who voted for Labour in June's Election.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

I can't see Corbyn getting in either. But it's certainly not a strong and stable government. Fortunately, we have a Royal Wedding to distract us from the Government's ineptitude next year!

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

l somehow doubt whether he will get in but the real worry for the Conservatives is if they replace him with someone who appeals to more of a broad church and then the Conservatives have a very big problem IMO.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Wasn't it if he resigned? Seeing as he's been "sacked" DD can rest easy. :D

It's always necessary to carefully examine EXACTLY what a politician says, for the get-out clause, rather than infer a meaning or intent.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

I'll be shot down for this (like i care !), but the public might regret the day they chose David Cameron over Ed Miliband.

Now we've got even greater extremes of left and right, with sod all in the middle where most of the public are.

No, actually Davis said he'd resign if Green was sacked.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017...reenis-sacked/

No big surprise he hasn't, he lies about most things (eg. non-existent impact assessments)

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Not the first politician to lie who was sacked though and on that basis Boris , David Davis and a slippery Jeremy plus a few on the opposition bench and bingo there might be a few places available to so some of the great and the good on this forum to step into.;):D

Yes that about sums it up Mr K.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Would you do a trade or any other deal with David Davis based on his track record of trustworthiness? :td:

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

If one gives a opinion one has to prepared to listen to a differing opinion even though they might vehemently disagree with it.

Your wish etc.

Thank you for clarifying. :tu:

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Ha ha nice try Mr K to say Ed Miliband, venomously Anti-Brexit, who would not have given the people a referendum on leaving the EU.

Ed Miliband is a catalyst as to why we are in this mess, he changed the rules for Labour leadership, which is the fundamental reason, Labour MPs when approximately, 170 of them signed up to a Motion of no confidence for Corbyn for the Labour leadership, they were unable to remove him from the new ballot for leadership.

As it stands, there is a heap of no hopefuls on the Shadow front bench. Emily Thornberry, too snobby and out of touch. John McDonnell, this would be a sorry excuse for chancellor of the exchequer, with past support for the ‘Bombs and the bullets’, during the IRA era. Diane Abbott, who is just a walking and talking joke.
