McVey gone!

I’m going to Russia today - have already lost three rubles!

McVey our.

I think the Tories will do everything they possibly can to avoid a General Election and they don't need to call one. This has been the flaw in the Labour plan the whole time. Replacing May with someone sufficiently Brexity is the only aim.


They’re not required to, but it’s one of the few routes left that might change the mix enough to get some kind of a deal through. Starting to wonder if it might not be a prerequisite for A50 extension

If this carries on I can see May resigning and Duffer Davis being wheeled on to keep the plates spinning. The prospect of Corbyn as PM is the one thing that the Tories can unite on afaict.

ROCK MUSIC (Tom D.), Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:09 (five years ago) link

Esther McVey and Philippa Forrester were on CBBC together in the late 80s. One of them now saves wild otters and hedgehogs for a living and the other one has spent years brutalising disabled people.

Matt DC, Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:11 (five years ago) link

honestly, I've not got strong feelings about McVey but...

The prospect of Corbyn as PM is the one thing that the Tories can unite on afaict.

The MPs will if they know what's good for them, the commenters on conservativehome are starting to swing Corbyn's way.

And of course internet commenters are an odd bunch but in this case they're also reflective of the people that the Tories will need in an election - one of the reasons they fucked up in the last one is that they pissed off a lot of local associations by parachuting in candidates and centralising all control. I think they people they needed to make nice with aren't going to turn up at all if they're asked to vote for May.

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:19 (five years ago) link

May is addressing the house at 10.30 if anyone’s interested.

Lol we’re up to 5 resignations now. Love a PPS resignation. In the immortal words of Simon Hart:

Tory MPs getting grouchy - Remainer Simon Hart tells ex-PPS Chris Green "nobody gives a fuck" that's he's resigned. pic.twitter.com/Ysto9O2RJf

Danton Lok (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:32 (five years ago) link

Haha my favourite 3-d chess theory is pro-May MPs sending in letters to force a vote - if they win it, then the party is stuck with her for a year.

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:34 (five years ago) link

May making this agreement sound pretty reasonable tbh

Danton Lok (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:40 (five years ago) link

An unknown number of letters have to be “activated” ie the MP submitting has to give their consent for the letter to be used. There was also talk that pro May MPs would submit letters to bulk up the count and withdraw once the 48 is used. Tl;dr, lol.

gyac, Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:41 (five years ago) link

“We can choose no Brexit at all...” cheers from opposition benches, hilarious smile from May. The backstop bit is convincing but much sounds like she’s on autopilot.

gyac, Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:43 (five years ago) link

I'm not sure that's going to scare many Brexiters at this stage tbh.

Matt DC, Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:46 (five years ago) link

two and a half years on this still seems a ridiculous, unforced self-pwn animated by resentment and xenophobia. all that's clearer now is how disastrous it's likely to be, and how the main figures responsible will, as ever, evade responsibility.

Jacob Lohl (stevie), Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:47 (five years ago) link

Hope you're all stoked for a load of gobshites who live in landlocked counties suddenly developing strident opinions about fisheries policy.

Matt DC, Thursday, 15 November 2018 10:47 (five years ago) link

ok Corbz is clearly sticking with Operation Divine Wind

they should assign one test to each county just for the synergies

I think the manner in which the brexit campaign strung along the fishing industry is pretty funny tbh. Probably not nice, but listening to their representatives incandescent with rage on AQ was giving me lols one night!

Amazing that the government's rhetoric is currently the exact opposite to what it was a year ago. A bad deal is, apparently, better than no deal.

— Ian Dunt (@IanDunt) November 15, 2018

Good stuff. I wonder if Ian is aware of any other examples of people changing their position on Brexit in an absurdly shameless way

spot on parody account if not real.

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

stet, Thursday, 15 November 2018 11:50 (five years ago) link

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

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.

Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Thursday, 15 November 2018 11:59 (five years ago) link

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

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

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 (five years ago) link

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 (five years ago) link

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 (five years ago) link

The Brexity ones won’t vote for this.

gyac, Thursday, 15 November 2018 12:28 (five years ago) link

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 (five years ago) link

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?
