And what are they going to do about it? They shot their bolt in December, can't try again until nearly Christmas at getting shot of her.

Good. Maybe we won't have to listen to Mark Francois on the news anymore and he crawls back under the rock he came from.

I made that exact point about two years ago. If I'd have been PM, bringing in Labour would have been my first move - she'd get the credit for a good deal and share the blame if it went wrong. Now, it's going to be seen as endorsing Corbyn as someone with political gravitas. It's really bad timing on May's part
Loved the comment on Francois' invective against Hammond quoted in the Politics Live Show. One contributor said there is a race to the bottom in politicians' foul and inappropriate language, adding tersely that Francois had already reached it!

If you can be 'fairly sure' nobody voted for that, maybe you could tell us what 'fairly surely' everyone voted for

The government expects me to carry on with my job until I'm 68, I wouldn't mind sitting down and dozing off for a job.

Maybe they sense a long delay is inevitable and would like to make it seem like it's all Labour's fault for being inflexible and useless.

strong and stable with me, or...
Make it seem like it's Labour's fault for being useless by being useless?
Sturgeon, the biggest shit stirrer in British politics. If you follow Scottish politics at all, she looks to crush Labour at every opportunity. She’s found some new found Remain mates in England, who’ll learn to despise her when she hinders a Corbyn coalition.

Unfortunately the Tories have never reached the heady heights of useless, they are far worse than that.

Just reading the speech that May made, makes herself out to look an idiot at usual...… "Any plan would have to agree the current withdrawal agreement. It has already been negotiated with the 27 other members and the EU has repeatedly said that it cannot and will not be reopened."
So why did she keep going out to Brussels to try to get the wording on the backstop changed ? So, a complete waste of time !

Did think it was somewhat ironic!
Seriously though a long delay is now reasonably likely, instead of taking 100% of the blame for that why not try and shift as much of that as possible?

As the option was leave or stay, I very much doubt that anyone who got off their backside and voted leave would expect that leave would include remaining in a customs union and with free movement. Surely that’s about the only two things that we were told we’d be rid of by voting to “take back control”. What I quoted was saying that what we’ll end up with is “as good as staying”, whilst actually leaving!
Obviously, nobody who voted to remain wanted to remain but not be able to influence what might change in the future.
This is what I imagine those who stayed away from the referendum, shrugged and said “I’m not that bothered either way” would be happy with, but not those who voted.
I could of course be wrong. I’m just offering my opinion. I just think that if we’re going to leave, we should do it properly, not by tying ourselves to the club still. It just seems pointless.

The Moggster is not happy.

Good.
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
