I wonder where the DUP stand on the new election question? You’d imagine against given this is their time of maximum leverage, but still

On record on saying that they do not fear an election.

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 15 November 2018 11:51 (seven years ago)

They fear no-one but Almighty God.

The Labour MP Barry Sheerman says May is a woman of courage who has been let down by her colleagues

Sheerman openly baiting Calzino now.

Literally came here to post something similar. Was only missing some regret about McVey resigning.

gyac, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:04 (seven years ago)

it's not like him to put his head above the parapet since the gun-sights were recently scoping him out, perhaps he is a "man of courage" after all - well in that Frank Field sense that he sheds that last bit of New Labour lacquer and goes full fucking Tory!

calzino, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:07 (seven years ago)

I just want to add Sheerman is such a fucking idiot that he was feigning to be a Town fan in a pub when we were in the playoffs, when Sheffield Wednesday scored after an hour he jumped up from his table and cheered (they were in the blue + white home kit). Then when a group of people started laughing at him, he stormed out of the pub!

calzino, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:17 (seven years ago)

I can absolutely see enough Labour MPs being either Brexity or terrified enough to scrape the deal through.

Matt DC, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:23 (seven years ago)

The Brexity ones won’t vote for this.

This morning I had another talk with the German Chancellor, Herr Hitler, and here is the paper which bears his name upon it as well as mine. Some of you, perhaps, have already heard what it contains but I would just like to read it to you...[show slide]

Been briefed on the deal. Not perfect & backstop is not what I’d hoped for. BUT we’re out, we’re not subject to ECJ, free movement ends & we’re not paying vast sums to ECJ. This slide sums it up. Will support. pic.twitter.com/T87Y2GEvTs

And also, there’d want to be more than half the party to offset 84+ Tory rebels & the DUP. A lot of remainers have been sticking the knife in too.

gyac, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:30 (seven years ago)

this should sort everything out

BREAKING

Michael Gove has been offered the job of Brexit Secretary, sources confirm.

But he's still wrestling with whether he will stay on at all in the wake of Raab's resignation. Which will it be?

When the deal is voted down presumably she'll resign rather than face a No Confidence vote? Then again she's been failing to take the fucking hint since last May.

Matt DC, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:36 (seven years ago)

after surviving political death for this long she might start thinking she is impervious to it!

calzino, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:39 (seven years ago)

Be surprised if she didn't stay as PM till she is forced out.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:40 (seven years ago)

Has she ever resigned over anything? She seems incapable of doing so to Trump levels

stet, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:40 (seven years ago)

I will always cherish the fondest memories.

Those other memories, on the other hand...

I used to be such a fan of Michael Gove. He verged on being a hero of mine. To see him sell out so completely is truly chastening.

Side point, but Esther McVey leaving the DWP clears the way for the SIXTH work and pensions secretary within three years - at a time when the government is rolling out one of the most complex reforms of welfare in decades and requires someone across the detail.

i'm trying to put myself inside the head of someone who would regard michael gove as a hero and i might as well be trying to imagine the inner life of a manatee, it's just so far beyond my frame of reference

The Mogg letter is in

stet, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:55 (seven years ago)

So if the 1922 Committee get the right number of letters following the ERG meeting we get a leadership election and (presumably) DD or similar leading us to No Deal.

For all people are talking about a GE following a vote of No Confidence, who do we actually think is a possible candidate for raising an EDM? Depressingly, I think the most likely might actually be a Remain-leaning Tory after the scenario above.

the Stanley Kubrick of testicular torsion (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:55 (seven years ago)

is there anybody else left in the party who is capable of taking on the DWP vacancy + already toxic enough to not care about their rep getting soiled by being a UC apologist?

calzino, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:56 (seven years ago)

Whoever gets the leadership can't govern without the DUP. Can Davis afford another billion?

stet, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:57 (seven years ago)

the magic money tree is suprisingly bountiful when it comes to keeping a conservative government in power iirc

the Stanley Kubrick of testicular torsion (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:58 (seven years ago)

Whoever wins this gets to go down in history as the Tories' worst Prime Minister since Chamberlain so I can see why the more intelligent ones might want to sit it out.

wurzel lays it out straight:

The Tory Party is breaking Britain, & in the process, it is breaking itself. The gravity of this gets lost in the social media age, but this is as historic as politics gets in peacetime.

I can't remember reading about the Bisto Crisis of '57, but I heard some survivors have nightmares about dry roast potatoes, only seasoned with a bit of salt.

I don't know if the Pretty Things are still going but someone better warn to keep an eye on Phil May for the next 24 hours.

ROCK MUSIC (Tom D.), Thursday, 15 November 2018 13:34 (seven years ago)

who do we actually think is a possible candidate for raising an EDM

The issue is that there’s no obvious front runner to replace her afaict. And another Remainer is going to face the same issues.

gyac, Thursday, 15 November 2018 13:35 (seven years ago)

the Stanley Kubrick of testicular torsion (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 15 November 2018 13:39 (seven years ago)

ILM creep.

ROCK MUSIC (Tom D.), Thursday, 15 November 2018 13:39 (seven years ago)

So if the 1922 Committee get the right number of letters following the ERG meeting we get a leadership election and (presumably) DD or similar leading us to No Deal.

I don't think that's quite it - if they get the letter then there's a (Tory-only) confidence vote on May, if she wins that then she's safe for a year, if she loses that then it's a leadership election in which she cannot stand.

Possibly the only positive thing you can say about May is that you know exactly where you stand on her - I'm not sure if either wing of the party would relish rolling the dice on who would replace her.

And quite apart from that you'd be adding one more big loud distraction when there's work to be done, which the country and your colleagues would not thank you for. I'm not sure who would carry on as PM during the leadership election?
