Or as been said, Theresa May to apply to lead a party committed to Brexit. (Actually, I think we can all agree she wasn't really a Remainer - she just thought they would win and wanted to preserve her career. Doesn't say much for her principles though.)

You're assuming that every Conservative MP will always support the government. That might not be the case.

That's what I most like about the English... the art of self-depreciation.

Tory majority of 55 suggests this Brexit-predicting, LibDem voting centrist remainer.

The EU has made it clear that the result of the British election will make no difference to its negotiating position although, on balance, it would prefer to deal with a government with a reasonable majority behind it. May's certain victory on Thursday will certainly allow enthusiasts to claim...

I am not saying here that I think some people are right and some people are wrong. I'm not giving my opinion or arguing against anyone else's. But I am saying that your optimistic call for Britain 'not to get divided' is far too late. In some respects, the divisions in this small island are...

I would have thought that one of you would be bright enough to understand that it's not the concept of getting our country back that is being criticised but the fact that the phrase itself is daft nonsense that means 50 per cent of bugger-all.

It has been said before but one of the practical effects of going for the No Deal option would be, according to one of the leading academics of the Leave campaign, the 'virtual elimination' of British manufacturing. Food production - ie farming - would also be devastated. This is a Leave view...

They. Do. Not. Know. How. You. Voted. It is very simple. If you once gave a canvasser a clear impression that you were going to vote for (say) UKIP and by 9.30 on election evening hadn't shown up at the polling station then the local UKIP machine might send a car round to give you a lift to...

I don't think you should not vote for the party whose policies you like just because of the leader's churchiness (great word by the way). I agree with you and Bozza about Clegg. He shouldn't have walked.

The EU has made it quite clear that a larger Tory majority will have no effect on the negotiations. The election is being staged for the internal convenience of the Tory Party, nothing else.

Given that the whole thing was knee deep in obvious lies no sensible person would ever regard it as an honest blueprint of the way forward. Even Soulman thought it was invented by a naughty Remainer. Clearly though it took some people in.

Murdoch is hardly a benign force but he's a long way from the worst. The Times is among the most balanced of papers, certainly on Brexit. The revolting Desmond at the Express, the mysterious Barclay brothers at the Telegraph and Dacre's bosses at the Mail are far nastier. Having said that, the...

Soulman didn't. He thought I made it up.

If you are saying that it is utterly bizarre to suggest £200 a week cost of living reductions, shorter NHS waiting lists, 17 per cent reductions in the cost of food and tall the other wild lies I quoted, then I am inclined to agree with you. Unfortunately, it was stuff like that that helped push...

I agree with you.

Actually, we don't need talks because Brexit will lead to... Food 17 per cent cheaper £200 monthly cost of living reduction for average family Additional wage rises NHS and doctors' waiting lists shortened The country becoming much wealthier because of all the trade deals we'll do £350m saved...

May's reference to 'dire' was interesting, accepting for the first time as far as I know the possibility that Brexit could have a catastrophic effect on the lives of (cliche alert) 'ordinary working people'. Perhaps the ordinary working people in question didn't realise that when they voted for...

If only Clegg had stayed. (In fairness Fallon does seem prepared to keep his muscular personal beliefs largely at home when carrying out his day job. He's a problem though.)
