Andrea Leadsoms exuse

She's certainly stubborn

If another cabinet minister goes she should be politely told to leave

If she doesn't she should be forced to, its getting pathetic now

"british people want us to get this done"

Is she bloody reight or what?

Gobsmacked listening to her

It may well be taken out of her hands soon enough. So she was right about "The end game"

Scathing there from Mark Francois

"PM calm and steady"

Amber Rudd talking absolute tosh and probably the worst contribution yet this morning

after the PM finishes receiving this pummeling she is getting; there will be time for a sandwich before Moggy sends in the vote of no confidence

she reminds me more and more of comical ali

she'll be fine if she just accepts she's useless and resigns

Getting a bit ridiculous this, she must know she's done ?

She's as awkward as Pippy Longstocking

your Majesty your country needs you to intervene in this debacle

Moggy has sent the letter in!

oh no Gove is Brexit sec

Penny Mordaunt has arrived at No10. Here we go again

Mordaunt has left the building; but not government

My money would be on Esther McVey to resign, easy way out for her after universal credit fiasco

You heard it from me first last night

well done dan. My moneys on the PM getting sectioned before midnight

ufcdan

Yeah I can remember someone saying it but couldn't remember who

Nice one

Cheers as I said think it's a bit more about the universal credits than Brexit.

i will donate a trifle to the next resigner

filled with Lithium and Clozapine

good idea for the wife

SS: i don't know whether you're interested but Badblokes are going evens for TM to be replaced this year

The two 'resigners' for today that would matter; are watching what happens when the ogress whips all arrive back in London after being summoned. The 48 votes have been reached i would presume and some nail extraction is needed. As the the two 'resigners' are more than likely both serious PM contenders they may well be keeping their powder dry.

I'd take that bet if I was convinced May would be outed, she seems determined to hang onto that position

She could be beat in a leadership contest and she'd refuse to leave

Like one of those uninvited troublemakers who just sit there and refuse to leave

it might not be her decision to make soon, SS. If she was horse, the vets would have already been called. I listened to her radio interview this morning and i still fear for her sanity

*a

Gove is a little weasel isn't he

He's a funny little bloke that one, threatens to quit and then doesn't, if I was May I'd sack him for comical effect

Yeah and hopefully she's gone soon bap, Esther McVey gets my vote just for kicks

There's one who has put his musket away. Gove backs down - surprise surprise

He's the definition of "maybe tomorrow"

i stood next to McVey some time ago and can confirm she was very alluring

I'd stick her in the cabinet anyday over bloody Gove

Actually I'd stick Gove in and put him next to McVey on the table to keep him quiet, he reminds me of doofus from the scary movie film

poor Doofus

All in all though it was a pretty damp squib

Raab resigning was pretty obvious as they wont be needing a brexit sec now anyway, his sidekicks going was never a big deal

And Esther McVey as pointed out needed an out because of UC, she didn't resign because of this brexit deal nonsense

The rest have stayed, so all in all it was just another day of pointless mud slinging

The news will find something else to "report" soon enough

Back to Trump? Back to NK and his toys?

The weekend will be all about the no con vote. I'm as sure as i can be that the 48 votes has been passed or the whips wouldn't have been summoned. Looking at the responses in the Commons yesterday; the PM may well be in real trouble if a vote goes ahead early next week

Where's the queen?

Can't she sort this out? she should get in there and give May a thick ear imo

i think at the moment you could rack TM and she wouldn't feel a thing

Gove has just given an interview and i swear to god he sounded just like a clone of May; word for silly word.
Liam Fox btw is a turd

i am hearing - from my usually well informed feme covert; that the "Brexiteers" are indicating that they have more than 80 letters in?

and i would just like to put it out there that Messrs Grayling Fox and Gove are NOT brexiteers, you can also add Mordaunt and Leadsom to that list. I care little for what spin and media complicity they come up with; facts are facts!

she'll have to win any vote by a landslide. a simple majority won't do whatever the rules say. you can't carry on if say over 100 of your MPs think you're hopeless

She would carry on if she won by the slimmist possible margin, she's that stubborn.

even the loyalists (at the moment) would queue up to tell her she has to go if she didn't win convincingly

they're barely managing to get 48 in, apparently only roughly around 20, so I can't see how suddenly everyone who hasn't put in a letter would suddenly vote against her, because by not putting in a letter you are endorsing her position.

some guy on Sky news just said that her aids close to her said even if she won by 1 vote she'd take it

scandinaian_haven: the 20 you quote are just those who are admitting they put letters in.

I know, but even after yesterday's furore, if it's not 48 by now, doesn't seem likely it will happen.

but it is i think. Everything suggests it is; and more. I think the more they get the better. She won't resign; but anyone 'normal' if they had like 70 letters against them; they would very likely resign

can't see why backbenchers would stand by her especially any in remotely marginal constituencies. they'll be annihilated at the next election if this deal stands under her or any other leader

mafeking: i'd like to know why 5 supposed 'Brexiteer' MPs are standing by her? Makes absolutely no sense to me. They keep on saying (like my opening post) "I want to stay in government and make sure we get the best deal for the country" Good luck with that project as The Countess of Bathory has already stated many times she's not for budging. So they must just be staying in Cabinet to push her agenda, no?

it is all rather baffling. if they resigned on masse she'd have to go. you can't carry on with no ministers. as it is struggling to find anyone to do the brexit job now. gove especially seems to change his mind every 5 minutes. i wouldn't wanna be relying on him

i wouldn't trust him with my trifle, mafeking

she doesn't need anyone to do the brexit job does she because it all comes from N°10, as Raab found out, he was just the glorified messenger boy

yes very true. If he had any pride he would have gone then.

Amber Rudd replacing McVey

You look at Leadsom and think a failing school somewhere is missing an Arts & Crafts supply teacher.

Die Linke: i was thinking more of a lesbian dominatrix but i see where you're coming from

Resignations 0 Replacements 2
Amber Rudd Misled the Home Affairs Committee now Work & Pensions. Also returns as PMs minder
Stephen Barclay Junior numpty now Brexit secretary

She may as well have appointed The Krankies

Rees-mogg looks like a bit stupid now making his public declaration thinking it would trigger a landslide of letters to follow it. May's been phoning hundreds of mp's to persuade them of the deal - anyone that's handed one in can withdraw it, she may have reversed it before it was too late.

the guy who receives the letters does not have to announce when there is 48 or over, until he feels like or wants to. There could be 150 in by now and whoever is PM will be given the opportunity to 'cajole' 'banjo' or kiss passionately with her ogress whips. This is why i knew yesterday morning when the whips were told to get their tails and cloven hooves back to Westminster that 48 had been hit. The letter senders would never go in with just 48 as have you rightly said, SH, pressure is always put on to back down-conform or get a viewing via ipad of their sordid misdemeanours; maybe. There wasn't much chance of anything happening Friday because most of the incumbents toddle back to their constituencies for the weekend.

Loathsome Leadsom is "Absolutely determined" to support PM May in getting "The best possible" Brexit deal for the UK.
"The prosecution rests M'lud"

The DUP abstained on voting tonight in a budget amendment which the government lost. A Shot across the bows to the PM, no doubt. A few resignations today and a visit to No10 for IDS and his entourage; what to discuss today - who knows as i do not believe the reasons given. Loathsome Leadsom is quiet isn't she?  There's absolutely no excuse for the 'Pizza Five' to still be in the cabinet. I hope when it come to voting in the next election their constituents remember.

the government has just bottled a vote in the finance bill and submitted to all three 'requests' from the SNP and Labour. The DUP is going to bring them down without a struggle if this continues.

the PM is off to Brussels to maybe find a magic solution to the backstop problem? Do not be surprised if this happens even though both sides have said it's non-negotiable. She's far too smarmy still

resignations today 0

This "political declaration" the nutjob was prattling on about today isn't a legal document. The withdrawal agreement is! There is of course a massive difference. Only other nutjobs would agree to sign the PD and only a madhouse shut-in would sign the latter

resignations 0

it's now official; not that i've eve disputed it, but the withdrawal agreement can not, and will not be changed! Now can some kind person remind me why Loathsome Leadsom and her 4 pizza buddies, are still in the cabinet? What a filthy lying crew they are

i've only just noticed my spelling of excuse on the topic page

the nutjob has now given up on the parliamentary vote, and has now resorted to threats. Apparently we will "End up back at square one" if we don't conform to the inane wishes of her puddled mass. Has Loathsome Leadsom left the country?

resignations 0

Well it looks like the nutcase has now given Gibraltar up. We shall see


resignations 0

just to confirm the sellout

The "pizza five" have obviously been given access to some decent Swiss bank accounts,  mansions in the sprout region of Brussels, the odd merc and beamer each autumn and obviously lifetime membership of the bureaucratic union of skunks

well well well & surprise surprise surprise; Loathsome Leadsom, remember her? The chief topic of this topic, has finally revealed her true colours and is backing the nutcase. How utterly disgusting a creature this is. I asked earlier why are they staying in the cabinet and now you all know why. I hope her constituents, remain & leave, remember these moments from the ultra traitorous turncoat. Vomit inducing

Andrea Leadsom letter to constituents confirming she’s backing PM’s deal: “I intend to support the meaningful vote.... I have been assured I will have a central role in deciding the future relationship”

what an arrogant deluded piece of work!

My local MP Tim Loughton was in her camp, I shall be pulling him up

ask him how he sits in the same room as her, Dan? I would struggle to breathe the same air as this duplicitous fox

Tugged him last time about sitting beside Anna Soubury, he said she sits by him

good these politicians aren't they. They could twist the Magna Carta text

that zhandi fella on QT LAST NIGHT SELLING mays deal was bojo,sseconder when bojo was prescribing the uk becoming Singapore on sea, bojo ,s position hasn't changed but if you lined up 650 mp,s up ,there,d be 648 mp,s standing between boris and zhandi, the blokes an absolute flunky in a cheap suit  chasing a limousine ,who,s idea of a night out is sitcking 20 quid notes down a waitress bra whilst been minister for families, the blokes an absolute two faced self server

i've seen more slipping and sliding with this lot than 20 years of Only Fools and Horses

Sam Gyamah MP for East Surrey resigns

He stated "The plan was "not in the British national interest" and that voting for it would "set ourselves up for failure" by surrendering "our voice, our vote and our veto".

He also said: "Britain will end up worse off, transformed from rule makers into rule takers. It is a democratic deficit and a loss of sovereignty the public will rightly never accept."

he is a remainer, btw

Replying to @SkyNews
What a ridiculous notion! Of course the MP for North Islington isn't 'running scared'. The Leader of the Opposition has no experience of running anything more complex than a bath.

Having said that, Corbyn is the biggest scaredy-Gato Labour's front bench has ever accommodated.

Leadsom is trying to do for Bercow before he rules on legal argument,selects ammendments for debate on a deal she doesn't agree with, amazing these people cant see once this deal goes down there redundant as far as the future path regards Brexit, tory leader,GE .,goes

correct. She's a beauty, isn't she

Loathsome Leadsom loses vote to delay decision

2 mediocre resignations; but apparently a cabinet minister is 'on the verge' of quitting. Guesses?

gove, he wont go down clinging to treasons ship

Gove wouldn't get another job in KFC, 1st time poster. What a plank

my guess is Javid; he's been very quiet lately

still no sign of Javid

resignations 0. But; and a major but, Loathsom Leadsom got a vicious spanking in the chamber from both sides of the house, with Mark Dubois telling the tory front bench they "Belong in the toilet" Which proves two things; 1. There is a god 2. Prayers can be answered

not a word from anyone about honourable mp,s whove resigned on vote that's now not taking place or may take place under different circumstances,lost their jobs for nothing

quite correct. At least they have my respect for that

is this woman for real
JUST BEEN ON CH 4 NEWS COMPLAINING ABOUt labour flouncing about playing political games turning the commons in to a pantomime , ffs are these people for real;
contempt
running away from votes
not opposing votes

she's a beauty, 1st TP

resignations 1 - Owen Paterson

traitor
