"oh you don't get me I'm the end of the union": lol brexit is how we're all gonna die

Sam Coates on R5 Live saying that May was persuaded against a long extension by the strength of cabinet opposition. I still can't believe so many of them are apparently so genuinely set on No Deal, well beyond posturing. And she was too weak to stand up to them.

It has always been a possibility, but it feels more real than ever.

She still isn't there.

- food shortages
- medicine shortages
- the collapse of pan-european bank clearing
- european capital markets shuttered
- significant percentage of europe's air traffic grounded
- destabilisation of peace in ireland

seems quite fun

Tonight will be announcement of final meaningful vote then no deal

are MI6 having a word I wonder

She's on our side

What the fuck is this speech?

As predicted, saying nothing new whatsoever, for the umpteenth time, what is the point of this?

Same shit different day

Jesus

"some say I have made the wrong decision"

interesting use of "some" there

Half expected her to go tarzan

she is literally the worst Prime Minister in the history of democracy is my guess

Has she not seen the news today?

the fuck is she doing with this bollocks.
'arcane procedures' fuck you
hang her parliament, hang her

lmao at this cretin pm

that was nasssssssty

The pathos of the slow opening up to the shot to reveal a tatty rug and some brass sockets.

she's the Prime Minister the UK deserves, but not the one it needs right now

starting to think that we’re all gonna die, lads

lol

how the Beeb have the nerve to put a "Breaking News" tag under this bollocks

I honestly can't get over the fact that after two of the biggest parliamentary defeats of all fucking time she's going "parliament needs to make its mind up about my deal" over and fucking over.

jesus what must those moments of high hallucination be like for her when she thinks she can speak to the nation directly and they'll see sense, like what delusion, what bent universe does she live in? little vicar's daughter white british dreamworld

when you think of the relentless media piss-taking of Gordon Brown PM, and compare May's coverage

Scotophobia is real

This would be a little worrying if there were some grey-jacketed mobs out there looking for people to blame, but afaict her constituency is just the Voice of the People in her head.

Breathtaking disingenuousness. Actually staggering. The sneering tone of “some say I should ask for a long extension!!!” When that WAS HER OWN PLAN YESTERDAY.

And “a ref would dangerously undermine democracy” while she simultaneously sets up a people VS MPs dynamic.

“You have concerns over knife crime and cuts to schools and other things that are also my fault”

Oh what’s the use? Fuck this evil fucker.

Honest question: what’s so bad about the UK electing MEPs in the next EU election? An embarrassing and meaningless waste of money and effort, sure, but that doesn’t seem worse than the current situation.

why does she say "do they not want to leave at all?" in her speech when it's clear she has no intention of making this a possibility? it'd be insulting to Baldrick to call her a Baldrick

innovative jam tomorrow

comedy marmalade call it by its name

this is what a tru Brexiter looks like

I don't know why, given she repeated the same old mantra, but onight's the night I lost all hope of the politicians or the people finding a way out.

this guy gets it

Multi xp As I understand it the current quota of Brit MEPs will be divvied up amongst the 27. If UK prolongs membership even for a few months it screws the numbers up for EU.

Resorting to the 'blame game' as the PM is doing is a low blow. Democracy loses when a PM who has set herself against the HoC then blames MPs for doing their job. Distracts from Art 50 extension, all part of her strategy to run down the clock and rule out other options. Toxic.

The reviews are rolling in...

im watchin equalizer 2 instead of this speech i correctly predicted it would feature less recycled material and at least one better performer

pls to post opinion in appropriate thread when you’re done

tbf they're all appropriate now

brexit has been a great

equalizer

listening to dominic grieve on the bbc earlier I wouldn’t be surprised if tory mps don’t start moving the other way

ie away from her deal

Her only leverage in parliament comes from the fear that her appalling management of the country provokes – the prospect that she is incompetent enough to allow the worst to happen.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/20/the-guardian-view-on-may-and-brexit-a-prime-minister-gone-rogue

if it wasn't for brexit even grieve's mum wasn't even sure who he was. Such a low sympathy rating for cunts who are only embarrassed to be a tory because of may being a 5th rate politician.

I agree with wes streeting - that was a very irresponsible speech she gave.

Corbyn apparently walked out of the meeting as Umunna had been invited without telling him.

I hope that's a lie, if not then fuck's sake.

Eh, how come he didn't know? Guardian said earlier that all party leaders including TIG were to be invited.

I'd be pissed off in his position as well but this is really not the time to make yourself look petulant and childish.

My PM still doing great

lisa nandy looked like she was moving towards the deal earlier today too; no more

May had an odd confidence to her during that speech, like when the female lead character in an old melodrama finally gives up and lets herself slide into irretrevable madness, the next scene should be of her burning down parliament and laughing as the flames engulf her

I’ve thought long and hard before saying this, but @theresa_may knows that MPs across the House are subjected to death threats - some very credible. Her speech was incendiary and irresponsible. If any harm comes to any of us, she will have to accept her share of responsibility.
