Why would he want the gig when he can carp safely from the sidelines and make his moves after Brexit? It isn't going to go well no matter who is in charge, so you jump in afterwards, stab your colleagues in the back and tell the public 'I told you so...'

Frankly we could do worse. We are, in fact, in my opinion.

Tony Blair is too busy trying for the top job in the EU to worry about the PMs job in the UK with no power.

I wouldn't put it past him to run for the job as the leavers champion, but if he got it, flip to remain and tell everyone about the terrible fate he'd managed to save the country from.....

Personally I find Corbyn even more detestable and even more detestable Abbott and McDonnell. But horses for courses I suppose.

[shackleton]

the way things are going would  have been better off  staying in 

as for what  the British people voted for is slowing being diluted away

only two missing from resigning Boris and Gove both wasters

With her Government in chaos, if she clings on, it's clear she's more interested in hanging on for her own sake than serving the people of our country.

Time for someone to step up to the mantle and get her ousted.

• Jacob Rees-Mogg, leader of the pro-Brexit European Research Group faction, said the prime minister “would be well advised to reconsider” the Brexit vision she believed she had secured at Friday’s Cabinet summit at Chequers.

Mogg is a very clever man and would deliver a brexit that the country voted for, that is perhaps why remainers fear him so much.

No idea how clever he is. Certainly remainers are in fear of him.

 

Watching the video of him rip the p!sh out of Verhofstadt was good enough for me ??

Verhofstadt's body language is brilliant. He looks like he is trying to hold in a wet f@rt ??

Brexiteers MPs threaten to topple May and make JRM PM, what is there not to like. All the gloating and flippancy may be a tad premature by the remainers, don't get too comfortable in your EU Shackleton high chairs, this fiasco is far from over. And remember those that laugh last laugh the longest, best news for months nay years, bring it on. ???

Followed by Davis resuming where he left off ?

Labour would vote against the type of Brexit deal being pursued by Theresa May, Sir Keir Starmer has said, fuelling doubts about the government's ability to get its plans through Parliament.

Rees - Mogg and his ERG will also vote against May's capitulation.

 

End of the road for May.

To be fair to Davis. I think he was not only hamstrung, but also silenced by May and Robbins.

Not strictly true - the Vote Leave leaders have benefited big time; they themselves made several hundred million on the night (remember, when Farage deliberately misled the public about No winning, all the while being aware that Yes had most likely won, in order to allow his buddies to capitalise on the market shock?).
